R.I.P. PAM089 GMT?

Unfortunately this week I received the sad news from The Zigmeister that the movement of my broken PAM089 (28.8k A7750 + GMT) was beyond economical repair. All the winding gears were stripped and GMT function gears were damaged due to a poor made movement.

Too bad, since I had this watch only for a couple of months and really loved the design :(

So here are some last shots before I close the curtain...

Yours can join the other one that is sitting here that belongs to Kruzer...it died months ago...

BUT, I have had a couple of these in for service over the past year, and they were fine, so it seems to be an isolated problem.

Of course, there are no spare parts for this model, since it's totally different than the ETA GMT. The basic movement is the same, it's the GMT parts that are different.

Thnx, The Zigmeister. I 've just sent an email to my collector. Maybe he has some kind of warrantee and can provide me with a replacement movement.

That's a shame, that's a really nice watch. Best of luck sourcing a new movement, or failing that, an identical replacement :) A watch that looks that good deserves to be replaced with a like for like replacement, not something new :)

my tip.

wait till the pam240 comes out. this is a titanium case with the 28.800 asia 7750.

you take this case and use the 089 bezel and dial and hands and you can build-in the gen valjoux 7754 gmt.

But will the 7754 movement fit in the 240 case and fit the GMT hand?

Altough I must say that if the 240 comes out I'll probably buy 2 then :) That 240 is a real beauty!

@Teejay: hopefully my collector will suply a replacement movement that I can sent off to Canada...

I'm sorry for your loss. Indeed that is an amazing watch (one of the few PAM autos I like).

I hope that you could find a way to replace the movement.

Cheers!

The 89 is my All Time Fav PAM, and I'd love to build one w/ an ETA movement. Rolli, can you suggest a place to source a 7754?

Joshua has now an updated version where the flaw of the missing mark @9 has been fixed. I wonder whether the movement is still the same as before....
