lancelot Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 What is the story behind the destro's Is just the same watch, same movement. For example lets say that you have the fiddy which is Pam-127 and want to convert it in the Pam-217 Which is the lefty, you just remove the dial, cut the dial feet and glue it backwords and thats it. But the question is: Do you really want to have your dial glued, instead of well seated with feets ? Think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it Can't use the same dial, the sub-seconds are on the opposite side on the 217 as they are on the 127... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancelot Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 You are right my mistake but in the base models that is the way it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostfaceZX Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Yeah you could change a base to a destro pretty easily, but with the subseconds and date, that requires a whole new dial and datewheel with upside down printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www_watch Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 that requires a whole new dial and datewheel with upside down printing. A new date wheel? With the movement turned 180 degrees the date should come out fine on the other side, don´t you think? My question is: Are there any decent reps of the PAM115 around with a nice movement? Didn´t find anything yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Destro = Diestro = Left handed (watches made for left handed persons - have crown on the inside if on right wrist and on the outside if on left wrist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostfaceZX Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 A new date wheel? With the movement turned 180 degrees the date should come out fine on the other side, don´t you think? It would if the date window were on the right side of the watch, but date/subsecond destros have the date window on the left side next to the crown (because the subseconds are on the other side), so it would be upside down.

www_watch Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 By the way.... Has there ever been a PAM with automatic (i.e. date function) movement as destro? I only know of the manual ones like PAM26, 56, 115 and 117.... Maybe someone knows more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
