RedSoxMan Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Getting a new 243 Submersible (that already has updated Cylops/Font)--so it appears that the main thing I need to do is fix the Bezel... -Polishing Markers--is this as simple as "taping off" markers and a lot of elbow grease w/ a Cape Cod? -Tightening Bezel--putting some Loctite in Bezel?--if so, specifically which Loctite? And do I need to remove Bezel to do so? If anyone has advice, its greatly appreciated. Thx a lot. RSM PS While on the topic of Submersibles, anyone know where to get a decent PAM 24a?

LegendofSpeed Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 how did you get a hold of one with updated cyclops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxMan Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 how did you get a hold of one with updated cyclops? Robert is selling one... he says it's "updated" and much better optics on the Cyclops (he had them made in Bangkok); improved font. My guess (haven't received it yet) is that the mag is still not there 100%, nor is the font exact... but greatly improved for out-of-the-box. We'll see if I can live with it...

Watchmeister Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 As far as I know there was never a 24A done with improved cyclops and properly polished bezel. They require work but you can get them to a high standard. Here is one with revised datewheel, redone dial (marker bezels eliminated), polished bezel, gen crown, Jimmy CG and crystal from the ultimate 199. I through in a later gen for comparison. They are a lot of work but you can judge the end product: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the one with improved Cyclops/Font that I was referring to is the: 243... Totally understand that the 24a is a project watch--just wondering where to get the best one to start with... And still wondering about polishing! Cape Cod Cloth???? Thanks. Cheers, RSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofSpeed Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 i'd be very interested to see the updated cyclops/crystal then when you get it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I don't think the base 024A is available from dealers anymore....You need to find one on resale. All of the available 024's are with the modern graduated marker dive bezel.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2004 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 the 24a are around from one dealer i know but he is not on any of these boards..... bean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfalls Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I have seen some pictures whith a hash-marked bezel and others without it, just with a polished bezel What is the reason of this? are there two differentes models? I don't think the base 024A is available from dealers anymore....You need to find one on resale. All of the available 024's are with the modern graduated marker dive bezel....

dadog13 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 this is the watch in question...it's from a dealer that recently got added on RWI and RG as a dealer and has a history on dealing on ioffer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianton Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Dial is wrong in the 243 rep... "6" should be over the "L SWISS L" and not between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
