babola Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'll try... - gen dial with original tritium - rep hands relumed in Tritium shade lighter - rep case/bezel (bezel dot lumed in lighter T to match the hands) - gen crown - rep CG, likely JFZu lemme know how far/close am I...

HauteHippie Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 What you can see is the following, so the questions are: 1. Dial, genuine or rep? Lumed or not? if lumed with what? 2. Hands, genuine or rep? Lumed or not? if lumed with what? 3. CG and crown...genuine or rep? Having not read other responses, I'll go with: 1. Dial gen, original . 2. Hands rep with a The Zigmeister lume concoction. EDIT: A closer look at the patina on the metal makes me think gen hands with possible relume concoction. 3. CG rep with The Zigmeister pin mod. Crown gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Where's UncleJay?????? Not knowing PAMs at all, the ONLY thing I'm really sure on was the pin mod! The rest was me fishing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have got it...only slight correction in that the hands and the bezel pearl are the same stuff, and no, it isn't a custom mix of mine...

deltatahoe Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 looks like i'm late to the party only thing i was (pretty ) sure of was the gen dial... deltatahoe EDIT to add: i think it's interesting how the tritium on the subdial tick marks hasn't aged like the index markers...i wonder what the reason behind that is? different thickness / texture / application process?

RWG Technical Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 looks like i'm late to the party only thing i was (pretty ) sure of was the gen dial... deltatahoe Not too late at all...if you read my last answer, there is still some unanswered questions...

deltatahoe Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Not too late at all...if you read my last answer, there is still some unanswered questions... RG hmmm...maybe this explains the question i raised in my EDIT above.... i'm guessing the (genuine) subdial tickmarks for some reason used pure C3 superluminova instead of tritium (possibly some sort of mysterious transitional dial??!), and so you relumed the hands/pearl with C3 as well... am i right??! deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 The answer is: Genuine dial, untouched with genuine aged Tritium. Rep hands and pearl, lumed with Genuine Tritium. Genuine crown. Rep CG with new pin and polished. Bezel polished. Lello DW. Upgraded crystal and cyclops, with AR removed. New cap fabricated on lathe, polished, and installed on the minute hand tube.

deltatahoe Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 ok, now for the $15k question -- where did you get genuine tritium??! deltatahoe ps, given the answer, i'm still puzzled about the different colored subdial tickmarks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jitai Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi Pictures of my gen pam 024F....the bezel look different from my gen? Max The one shown in The Zigmeister's pic is a PAM 024A. Easy tell is the polished and unmarked bezel. This one is a true collectible. Nice work R. I also have one coming your way too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfalls Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Nice work The Zigmeister, awesome as usual! I have a newbie question. Why did you remove the AR? I thought all this models have sigle AR coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 No A and B series PAM's had AR. D onward has AR and I can't remember C's (don't own any). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
