chefcook Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I am excited too T: have you used my handdrawn design including the DIN standards? One of V's crown guards and a set of correct cannon pinions are here allready. A superlumed DSN dial with matching hands should arrive these days and I have a 111h from precious time on its way. Quite looking forward to built my new PAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite looking forward to built my new PAM We compared the drawings and went with the previous one as it allredy has been sent to and accepted by the maufacturer.

chefcook Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 The point is: There should be tools for knurl according to DIN. The manucature should understand, that the knurl in the british/australian drawing exactly is a DIN knurl and therefore use DIN tools to reduce time and money needed for the production. An individual knurl requires individual tools causing "individual" prices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
