rolli Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 hi all, here the pam196 daylight chrono with palpatin crown modification, and gen valjoux 7750 swap with modification. strap: mario paci 5 black homage. important information: you need a new 7750 stem for the palp crown. the drilling in the palp crown is deeper. you can buy only a 1,2mm stem. enjoy yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Do you have the date modification as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK471 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 no !!!! rolli Hm. Some of those pictures make the font look quite bold. It's a great looking watch for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hm. Some of those pictures make the font look quite bold. It's a great looking watch for sure. it's because it's a swiss 7750, not an asian one.... the datewheel (font and position) is the only difference between the two that you can see from the outside. The other test is the date quick-change at 10:00h. On the asian movement, it's nonfunctional... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Crown looks fantastic. Although I will be waiting for a while it is well worth the wait. The date does look very good. Decent font and all black minimizing the additional gap between the datewheel and the dial makes a big difference. You've shown yours and it looks great. Someday when they are done I will show mine.

HauteHippie Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Excellent!!! I will also be installing the crown on my 7753 196. Did you have to shave the crown lever down at all to get it to close over the thicker crown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Is it just me, or are the hands on the running seconds and 12 hour subdial swapped? The running seconds looks awful small... the 12 hour looks awful big... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palpatine Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 yes, for the palp crown you have to fix the lever. rolli hi rolli, nice work! glad you like th crowns! they look really good! one thing: why did you ahve to use a new stem? but i did not! i installed many crowns now and never had to use a new stem until today. not on my 2893 PAM GMT, chrono 7750 and not on any handwind PAM.... ususally, you have to slightly shorten the original stem, so you can use the one that is installed...
