New Born: Modded Pam 187 "Bozzilla" (pics inside)

[Bozz]

Finally I completed my project ( http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=166296 ), a modded Pam 187, I started from a Toro's Pam 187/7750, high beat and quickset date,

Mods:

- Date wheel with bold fonts from DSN
- Noob 187/7753 crown guard (last batch) from Toro
- Polished indexes on the bezel
- "Old Tritium" dial, hands and pearl dot
- Blackened edges on dial indexes
- Teflon gasket below the bezel
- Teflon gaskets on pushers
- Thick rubber gasket on crown

I'm thinking to relume the hands with a lighter and "creamy" shade.

Why didn't you use the 7753 as a base ?

Many thanks ALE!!!!

Because the 7753 version was expensive and I preferred to buy a cheaper 7750.
Easy to waterproof and excluding the indexes flaw (clear edges) the dial print is very good.
Sunken subdials with concentric circles and very good print and colors.

How difficult was it to source that CG?

Loved the aged markers

Very difficult... I was lucky to find one after two months of searching. Another month to have it on my desk...

Today I am a bit depressed... Bad news.

I had disassembled Bozzilla to rethink the handstack patina and the watch stopped walking ... I do not know why. Maybe it's a problem easy to solve. The disappointment is great, 4+ months to build it...

I further do not have time. Therefore I have decided to separate and sell all parts as spare ...

Ill take the CG!
