Drulee Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) I am slowing piecing together a watch (Panerai case) and was trying to find the proper movement. I believe it would be a modified 7750. The movement would be an automatic movement with GMT function and date display at 3. Ideally a recessed pusher on the case at 8 would be able to quick change the date. I hope an Asian version of such a movement exists. Any help, particularly a source, would be appreciated. EDIT: Forgot that it should have seconds at 9. Edited June 2, 2009 by Drulee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Well it has been almost a month since this was posted, and I have refined my requirements. I am looking for a functioning GMT movement for an 088. Forget about the date pusher request - I've learned that the gen doesn't have this anyway. As I have all the other parts collected, I really don't want to buy the complete watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Like so? 7750 GMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Like so? 7750 GMT I guess you missed my second post. I'm just looking for the movement, not entire watch. Just got a message from an individual in China who said they could get me an A7750 GMT high-beat for $125 - but who knows, he's not really an established member.

watchlover1 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I just had my PAM 088 with this movement serviced by The Zigmeister and there were some major issues with it. So bad that we he had to remove the auto wind gears and make it into a manual wind watch. There were issues with the GMT and date change function. He has suggested that I do not move GMT hand or set the time backwards just o move the hands forward. My PAM 228 with this movement from DSN is working flawlessly.

Are you sure the 088 movement was a 7750, and not a 29?? (or was it 28??, I forget). Because I know they had big problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchlover1 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I was told that the watch had an A7750 when I purchased it. I will as The Zigmeister when I get the watch back.

ubiquitous Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 1) You can contact that dealer I had linked and ask if they will sell just the movement a la carte. Some will, some won't. But it never hurts to ask. 2) A PAM88 with the seconds at 9:00 is a 7750/A7750 mod GMT movement. The PAM29 and PAM63 use the Swiss 2893.

watchlover1 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Here is part of the email that The Zigmeister sent me inregards to my PAM 088. "Although this is a 7750 movement it doesn't have a chrono, But since we removing the autogears, you now have a handwind" I was told that the watch had an A7750 when I purchased it. I will as The Zigmeister when I get the watch back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
