HELP!: Who can help me build a PAM524 Homage?

[silverclaw]

Hi all,

I was about to buy the PAM524 gen from the boutique today, and the only thing stopping me was the credit card limit which I imposed on myself to stop this kind of thing :ambivalence:

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with what I want to do.

Build starts with a PAM312 KW, with 7750 movement.
I want to relume this a vintage lume colour.

That's easy enough, but here comes the hard part:

Can I put a running central seconds hand on a KW modified 7750??

I would like to steal a blue seconds hand from a PAM253, and try and modify the 7750 movement found in a 312 to accept a seconds hand again.

Does anyone know if this is even possible? Should I go back to the boutique??

Thanks.

Back to the boutique of course.

I am no expert - but i do not think that it is possible to have central seconds on this movement. Although theoretically, a few extra gears could be added to transfer the seconds from 9 to make them central (But this is a pure speculation)

But i do not think there are many who would take on this task. Maybe Domi and thats a big maybe

I'm pretty sure it is actually possible, because the 7750 movement originally had a center chrono hand. It's just been modified to do away with all the chrono module bit. If it's not possible then bugger it...

If you put the running sec in the center, what are your intentions of the running sec at the 9?

Nothing- it will keep running. Both hands will always be running I guess. Or, the center seconds will just be frozen.

 

[Raddave]

If you dont need the center hand to run as a running seconds, then it can be as the chrono seconds hand.

Then the answer is yes, but it might just be easier to find a functioning chrono movement than to restore the chrono funtion to the modified nonchrono 7750

Maybe.... and I mean Maybe, this is a better start for you... They have a inexpensive version...

The 7750 is not a central seconds movement, it typically is found with native seconds at 9 or is modified to hae seconds at 6 or 12. If you want running central seconds your options are limited. get yourself one of these

That looks great grimlock

i thought that since the 7750 chrono movement has center seconds and sec@9, I could have both a la pam524. Is this not possible? Even the 187 has sec@9, date and central sec.

Sorry, I thought you wanted running central seconds. The central chrono function is no problem. But you'll have no way to control the chrono function with a 312 case.
