Finally had the time to get my PAM 026 back together!!!

I bought this watch last year from DSN. It came with that matt pvd coating I really like, a thick sapphire with AR coating, and a swiss 6497.

The dial and hands went to Goin for a relume job, and the result is just awesome!

I've also done a full waterproofing, including a strong sealing of the crystal, and I secured the CG screws with loctite 233.

The CG was bothering me, first because the pin was not flatten, but also because the lever should have been up. When looking at the back, the good surprise was that the pin was flatten and very close to the edge. So I simply decided to install it the other way around, and it looks pretty great!

It's now on a kick ass vintage B&R style strap from Robert Farrington :)

It's actually pretty accurate. The major flaws were the CG pin and the upside-down CG.
I would love to get a thick pvd destro CG but I dont' think it has been repped :)
