My PAM127 Fiddy (56k no no)

[trueimage]

Had to jump on this one when it became available, my first non-44m PAM and my first try at a Fiddy, after all the hoopla around this model I had to try it.

Here are the details:
- Eddie Lee front loader case (service gap shown in pics)
- Eddie Lee v5 crystal and bezel w/ minimum distortion pressed out and reseated by Speedy to avoid any accidents
- ETA6497 movement w/ Y gap + incabloc anti-shock
- Rare caseback with a non E0117/1950 serial (see pic)
- Ziggy re-lumed old DSN dial, no longer available
- Correct C3 lumed DSN handset from his best version Fiddy
- DSN sharp crown
- Cannon pinion cap polished
- Old EL CG lever pin was too short so Speedy manufactured a new pin fitted and polished it
- Movement completely serviced, regulated all gaskets greased and bezel and caseback re-polished
- Brand new Kaktus Longtail Tan Beater strap 150/80 included

Any suggestions are welcome.
Cheers

I bought this one pre-assembled. Watch for any EL parts - although I don't know if they fit on other cases, like DSN etc.

Looks good, question though...

If I ever bought a Panerai I would want to mod it. Everyone always makes mention of their mods and who made them but never where they got them or how to get in contact with these people?

Is there a place to go to look for PAM mods?

Yeah, that's why I usually buy pre-modded stuff, it took the guy months and months to find all this stuff and then months to have it all put together. then he sold it and I bought it. It is a very brutal process, stuff like EL parts and JF parts are getting more and more rare these days.
