Hello and a couple of Questions on modding a gen Pam 000.

[Dino7]

Hi all , new to the forums and just got my first rep a 372 , already have a 587 and a DSN 5218 202a incoming ! Can see this becoming an addiction .

Anyway I have a couple of quick questions about the gen Pam 000 that I have - I assume it would be possible to get a 5218 201a dial to replace the 000 dial ? ( I have always wanted 201a but not able to drop the amount of money needed to get a gen and have no intention of selling my gen 000 at any point in the future) .
Any ideas where I would source one of the best rep dials ( from searching I believe Southy no longer makes them and Rolli is another option ?) Also any recommendations of a watchmaker in the North West UK to fit the dial if I do decide to go down this route ?
Or am I better just getting a DSN 201a and save the hassle !!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

In todays time the dsn dial is the best option IMHO or you can buy a 201 from sales area with an older dial and swap it

I personally would not swap a REP dial into a Gen watch. Be patient, very nice 201/a builds do come up in the M2M from time to time. Plus the 201/a case is different than your 000... Southy Dials and Rolli Dials are the best option though for any build...

Thanks for your replies , think I've decided against sticking a new dial in my 000 , mainly as I've just got the 202a in from DSN which I'm very impressed with ! Going to see how that goes and either keep my eye out for a build on the sales forum or get a DSN 201a. Anyway here's a couple of pics with my gen 000 and noob 372 !

Great pics, and good choice about leaving the gen alone. Now watch for a Southy dial for you 202 and you'll be in business...

Thanks , I like the DSN dial though so may stick with that , am maybe looking at a Swiss 6497 movement to add into this DSN 202a though !

Rolli has a new batch ready now. If you want to build a 201a you don't want to miss his dial.
Southy's dials are amazing but rolli's are simply on another planet.

How would I get hold of one of Rolli's new batch ? Please PM me if necessary !
