siesta181 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi Guys, Need some help here. I m assembling a PAM 250. I have the old case and Lello DW and am now procuring a 7753 powered Hammy. Getting to be very rare. So I'd really appreciate some indications of how much I should be paying for such a donor watch. My Chinese dealer is quoting USD600.00 for the movement only which I think is rather steep when I am not too sure if I gonna get the real stuff. Thanks in advance. Cheers Siesta181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 My understanding is that the movement alone if you were able to get one goes north of $1000...so add in a quality watch, and that's likely way less than 50% off!!

RWG Technical Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Your best value is to buy a complete watch with the movement inside, or to buy a 7753 from a watch supply house. Anything else and the risk outweighs the cost savings. Are you certain that the 7753 will fit your case? Keep in mind all 7750 series are the same thickness but the Asian 7753 is thicker than the ETA 7753 (think sunken datewheel...)...

chrgod Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have seen the 7753 powered Hamilton chronos very cheap on TZ Sales corner, like these one for 475USD, (it is a seller with low post count, though) and another for 750USD.: hxxp://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=4215166&rid=0 hxxp://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=4020300&rid=0 (replace the "xx" with "tt") @olorin: nice picture!

siesta181 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Thanks for all the input guys.. and yes Coolfire, I will probably get it. I am looking at getting a 7753 Hamilton or Victorinox for this project. @The Zigmeister - I have EL day;ight case, I am under the impression that Eddie Lee's Daylight is the most accurate will be perfect to accept a 7753 movt. Hope that's the case. @chrgod - thanks for the directions. @denise - we are serious watch ppl here ... hahaha. I watched Trading Places a couple of times. That's the E.Murphy and D Ackroyd movie isn't it? Have a good weekend all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta8088 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I've managed to get great deals on two 7753 Hamiltons. First one I grabbed for a little less than $400 about six months ago at a pawn shop. Case was a little scratched up but other than that it's been running great. The other one I grabbed off the bay for about $450 a couple months ago. Both are Hamilton Aviation Chrono's. May take you a little time to hunt down some good deals but they can be found.
