PAM 196 modification


jclockwork

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm new in this forum and I would like to have some info and recommendations on the following:

I own PAM 196 rep fitted with 7753 movement. It's a bulk rep with the usual faults: paltry lumination (1), wrong thin font on the datewheel (2) and a thin crown (3).

Any recommendations where/how to get the above three mentioned shortcomings corrected?

'Go buy a gen.' Yes, later on.

:g: Thanks in advance,

jclockwork

Replies to your Qs...

(1) Get one the trusted modders (The Zigmeister, Vac, TWP) around here to fix'er up.

(2) Contact "lello" for a date wheel and install it (either by yourself or a watchsmith)

(3) Start trolling the forums, eBay, TZ, and good luck! :p

Thanks for your swift reply.

Sorry for being a novice. Is lello a member? I think that widely referenced lello wheel would make a big difference.

I had my 7753 196 modded, and it makes all the difference; Had The Zigmeister do the relume and install a Palp crown. I havent botherd with the date wheel though; one, it does not bother me; and two, anyone who could call it out as a rep due to the date wheel would be able to tell its a rep regardless.

So, find a palp crown and have The Zigmeister do the install and relume...and talk to lello if you must have a DW.

How does one find a Palp Crown. I need three but have had no luck contacting Palp.

Definitely get the lume done, The Zigmeister did mine and it's transformed the watch. I've got a datewheel but I haven't had it installed yet. The watch is running at +2 sec/6 days!!! :tu: and i really don't want to have it taken apart when it's running so well. It is the most accurate watch I own rep or gen.
