scoobs1971 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 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...

FxrAndy Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Sorry to here that it is beyond repair, it really is a beutiful watch, is there no way of fixing it, although if Ziggy says that hope is lost then RIP, sorry for your loss.

RWG Technical Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 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.

I 've just sent an email to my collector. Maybe he has some kind of warrantee and can provide me with a replacement movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 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. rolli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

turboGUATE Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

sssurfer Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
