I'm new to this stuff and I'm trying to learn about the various mods. Can you point it out on my watch. Here's a shot of my 005 that came from Josh. Thanks for any help... :?

The Canyon pin is the gear/post that holds the hands. It is common on the Reps for the top of the pin not to be flush with the top in. looks like the pin is kind of sunken. The cayon pin Fix is when you change out this pin, for one that is a little longer, and then it will be flush with the top hand. Make sense?

koster88, here's a larger picture of my 005. How does the pin look to you? I now understand your clear explanation. Thanks...

Ahh yes the little nub on the center pin. I love this mod.

You have blown this picture up 100x and it's still not perfectly clear. Think about that. 8)

It does not look like it is recessed to me. Nice Watch.

The factory that makes the good 005 model is using the taller canon pinion as a standard.

You have a nice looking watch :) I love the 005 model.

do they use a taller cannon pin or does it have a thinner dial? doesn't my pam 113e from ruby have a thinner dial, or does it have the taller cannon pin in it from the factory? it was good right out of the box like this 005.

I think it's more likely that the dial is thin, hk. Especially since it seems to be the same case as what the old PAM036s and Angus' "Ultimate" 111/001 used. We all know what vaccum found about the later runs of the 111/001 Ultimates with thicker dials...
