Best places to get vintage PAM parts for build

[Tommy Tom]

Recently, disappeared down a vintage PAM rabbit hole and wanted to look about potentially building my own.

A search on here and reddit suggested http://www.vintagewatchparts.co.uk/ but this looks to have shut down now.

Another user suggested www.helenarou.com.

I just wondered if any wise soul could steer me in the direction of any other parts sellers I could use for this project. At the moment I would prefer better quality parts rather than just picking up things on AE etc.

Thanks in advance!

My favourite two "stores"

Athaya Vintage Watch and Parts

The best source for vintage watches and vintage watch parts.

www.athayavintage.com

And
The seller TPS-Tempus on eBay also known as River.

@Belkin12 and @Kpoy are artisans beyond compare for all things Panerai.

Brilliant! Thank you.

The Homage Forum seems to be very "Panerai-centric," there's lots of good information there from "which cases are worth buying on AliX" to "which vintage watches have parts that are usable" to "how to make your own dials." Most of the guys there are builders and modders, rather than here, where the information is split between building/modding and factory reps.

Not to suggest there isn't plenty of great information here, just offering another tool for the box.

I hadn't heard of that forum so thank you for giving me the heads up.
