Pam250 questions?

[anics]

Hi guys

Hope you can help with this one....

I am looking at buying a Pam250, black dial, as close as possible to the gen. From what I have seen the date font on the reps seems to be really thin and I have read on this forum that there are a few other issues.

So.....

I am thinking of buying the watch from Chris at Eurotimez and then have it modded.

Is this the best option? And if so what changes will I need to make to the piece and who should I contact to do them (I am in the EU)

Thanks for your time

For the PAM 250, its a matter how far you want to go about modding it

Q1: Are you getting the 7753 or A7750 movt?

Some of the parts to mod are also very difficult to obtain.

1. Lello Datewheel? A holy grail of sorts though some progress is being made in developing alternatives.

2. Thick brushed bezel with "Tachymeter" spelling?

3. Inaccurate dial for the ETA 7753 movt version.

I completed the PAM 250 project (I posted a review recently) and its by far the most expensive project I have completed.

Proceed with much caution.

Hi

Thanks for the info...

Regarding the movement, I was thinking A7750? It's not really a question of $, although the 7750 seems a LOT cheaper than the 7753. I was under the impression that the models with the 7750 had the correct spelling on the bezel and the others didn't?

My thought process was to start there and then mod upwards. Would it be better to start with the 7753 and then change?

To be honest, for me the major flaw is the date wheel.... it bugs the hell out of me!

I read your review btw. V nice watch... v nice!!!!
