eunomians Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Ahhh, here we go. Time for some fun I ordered a set of hands from David Sen (Davidsenjpn AKA Watchmmx) that were made in an attempt to fix the short cannon pinion problem on 99% of PAM reps. I know that a longer cannon pinion can be installed into the watch, but certainly this is beyond the skills of most amateurs - basically, this mod requires a trip to the watchmaker. David has created hands that most people can install themselves - and these hands appear to solve the cannon pin issue pretty damn nicely. The hour hand needs to be bent ever-so-slightly to make clearance over the seconds hand. The bend is not noticeable once installation job is 100% complete. --------------------------- *Please note that I highly recommend that you use the appropriate tools. --------------------------- The hands are finished excellently. They appear to have been perfectly executed during manufacturing. The minute hand has a nice cap that looks like a correct cannon pinion tip when the crystal is installed. It looks as such upon close examination/scrutinization. The luminous material is evenly applied; and, the luminous glows like a friggin' torch. --------------------------- Overall installation time for me was a mere 30 minutes... And I am slow --------------------------- David's work is a great asset to our forum! Please have a look at my pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallguy83 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Is the lume on these any better than the regular rep hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 The lume is like FIRE. Just like brand new OEM lume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
