PAM 029 cyclops

[capricho]

Just received a beautiful 029 from Ryan and noticed that the cyclops is very slightly misaligned. The cyclops is about 1 mm too high relative to the center of the DW.

Is there an easy way to remove the crystal and realign it so that the Cyclops

is properly aligned?

You should mail it out Strodda, Vac, Yodog, or Katt and any other trusted smith if you can't live with it.
Vac and Strodda can water treat/test. Katt doesn't. Don't know about Yodog.

How do I contact these folks? I've emailed Vac already about another watch repair several days ago but no reply.

On each watchsmith site they list the best way to contact them.
However, they have full time jobs and personal lives and can take their time - if you mail it out plan on a couple of weeks sometimes.
Strodda - TX
Yodog - Los Angeles
Vac - FL
Katt - Midwest

Looks ok to me, but what do I know?

I wouldn't worry, my workmate bought a preowned Gen from our local AD and it also has the cyclops rotated clockwise by a hair, same is my rep. Makes date easier to read (?)
When compared side by side with my rep, both look incredibly close, I'd say 1:1 except for the neon green uncharged lume on my 029, big tell IMO.
Sent mine for a full relume job and now looks spot on. My buddy knows Panerai and he doesn't have a clue mine is a rep :laugh:

Alfajor - who did your relume?

VAC did it, 14 days turnaround time, couldn't be happier with the results.

You are right
