elisiX Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Hi All.. Just popped my rcrscom baseball glove leather strap on my PAM250 which I bought early on in my rep collecting hobby from Simon (FGD). Modded by The Zigmeister this thing is the best of the best PAM250 7753 you can build today. I managed to snap a few quick shots this afternoon but I was running out of daylight so they're not the best. The shots are all close up of the dial as I was trying to determine what the AR is like to decide whether or not to send it off to Ajoe for his AR run. Should've grabbed a couple nicer shots but .. meh. I'm lazy.
AmStaFF Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 looks nice, but the bezel has the wrong "Tachymetre" engraving not the right "Tachymeter" try to use a bezel from the 7750 case or the complete case is this a t-crown in your 250? sorry for my bad english
siesta181 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 This is Godsend. Prayers answered.... I need guidance Master elisiX. I am building a 7753 powered PAM 250. I have the old thick case, I have lello DW and I have a 7753 movt. I I have been reading a lot about the dial problems for the 250 tat will not fit a 7753. Question: Which dial should I be looking out for? Cheers Siesta181

Supposedly the US market 250's came with the 'er', whilst europe was 're'. I read that on Paneristi I believe. Can anyone else confirm this? The crown is genuine Panerai Auto. This is Godsend.

AmStaFF Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Supposedly the US market 250's came with the 'er', whilst europe was 're'. ok thats new for me and interesting, i have the german panerai catalog and the 250, 251 and the 236 all have the "er", can anyone check the english catalog pls The crown is genuine Panerai Auto. thats looks very nice
bwhitesox Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Looks the [censored] but you already knew that
sander Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 As far as I know, the 196 and the 188 should have the
elisiX Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Sorry you are right Sander. I got it mixed up. All I could remember for sure was that there are both versions out there. Here's a few old lume shots from when I first got the watch (and before I got my SLR and knew how to take pictures) Edited February 20, 2009 by elisiX
hooky Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Sorry you are right Sander. I got it mixed up. All I could remember for sure was that there are both versions out there. Here's a few old lume shots from when I first got the watch (and before I got my SLR and knew how to take pictures) Great watch, nice work The Zigmeister has done. to make it realy superb, an AR job on the sapphire is really needed. To make The Zigmeister's work stand out even more. And to give it a 'true' gen feeling.
coolfire Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Such a beauty... I'm almost lost for words, elisiX... Like what hooky has mentioned, getting a double ar on this would top this off superbly!
rower Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 I would like to ask you not to post any more pictures of this watch. I want it so bad that I am afraid I am breaking the 10th commandment...thou shall not covet!
sander Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for the lume shot. It looks really great. (unfortunately now I have to do mine as well ) I totally agree you should go for the new AR. Mine has K2222 and it's really a big difference. The colour of the dial will change and also the edges of the subdials will be sharper. Go for it man, you won't regret it! Do you know if it's the standard GC or is it an other one?
TK471 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 Utterly amazing. I've wanted this watch for almost the entire time I've been a member -- nearly three years now. I'd take either it or the 196, but I've never been able to find either for the right price, and modding them now is nearly impossible with the shortage of parts. Wear it well. It's a real beauty.
elisiX Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 Sander afaik the CG is standard but modded by The Zigmeister. Its perfectly flush and the pin top is perfect also. I'll let you guys know if I ever decide to sell it... which prolly wont ever happen. lol
Zapadeus Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I've read different things on the bezel which state that both are correct. Supposedly the US market 250's came with the 'er', whilst europe was 're'. I read that on Paneristi I believe. Can anyone else confirm this? The crown is genuine Panerai Auto. Mate your questions are best directed to FishGoDeep as he built the watch (with The Zigmeister's help of course). At least I could find a white dial 250 (=251) with the marking "Tachymetre" on Paneristi. So there is still hope..
