Franken PAM 288 wishing you Merry Christmas!

[Hasselbaink]

Hi fellas,

Merry Christmas with my franken PAM 288 which will be wearing under the tree :biglaugh:

Specs:

-gen 7753 ETA inside, freshly serviced, runs like a champ, winding is smooth as butter, chrono like a dream;
-yesterday managed to source and install a gen crystal on it;
-case, dial, lume like gen;
-strap sourced from Peter.watchacc recommended by Peter Gunny (he's not dealing with deployant type straps..): ultra premium, shiny, hand made louisiana black gator strap, 130/90, 26/20, with beige backside and stiching (classes better (!) than my OEM PAM strap, too short BTW, thats the reason of sourcing a custom made one), the best quality I have ever met within gator straps and at a bargain price (220 USD FEDEX priority incl.) (if anyone interested http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=6372391&rid=0#msg_6372391)

Now let the pics talk:

Merry Christmas again!

Was the gen crystal a noticeable difference before and after?

Was the gen crystal a noticeable difference before and after?

In one word: NO

The watchsmith sold it to me for ridiculous 30 EUR :lol1:

The rep crystal is as per gen in height, thickness, AR coating.

All in all this PAM is a super rep, even the watchsmith couldnt recognize its a rep at first sight.

Just fabulous, highly recommended..

But its very simple: its not a usual looking PAM watch, its sporty and elegant at the same time, you can wear it with suit and a simple shirt too, etc..

Wearing it is very comfi and fits a whole bunch of strap colours. I'm mostly wearing suit and cuff shirts thats the inly reason of sourcing the black gator one.

Whoever thinks to buy a II. PAM this is one of the best choices..

I was wondering how you were able to get an eta7753 to fit into this case as the a7750 movement is thicker and the pushers would be in the wrong spot. I ask because I want to get this swap done as well. Great watch by the way!

 

[MoreCowBell]

I would be interested in the swap too as the previous poster mentioned.

Love the 288.

Thanks for sharing!

Have an ETA 7753. Have an 288. Just trying to have the mods done. How's your frankened 288 nowadays?
