Just purchased a PAMM 233 8 days GMT with a huge tell: It has a white datewheel instead of a black one.

Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who can make the switch for me?

Thanks.

This is what is being shipped to me currently:

This is what I want instead:

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a black DW? Changing is easy, getting one is hard

No, Q, I sure don't. I was kind of hoping someone could point me in the direction of somebody who could source one for me, as my attempts to find one have been fruitless.

Once I get one, I'll send it all to katt,and have him do the datewheel change and fluff 'n buff it for me.

That's the plan, anyway...

Your best option would be taka but I'm not really sure if the fonts are the same and if it will fit that movement at all. Worth sending him an email though, he's the only one who has white on black DW

Glad I could be of help mate. Keep us posted what happens! If this works out, this thread can be of help to others in the same situation!

I've learned that this movement is a seagull st-2530 (thanks, gary!). So I went on the web and I have several attempts out there to source one. I'll keep you in the loop if I get any hits, and if anyone knows where I can get one, I'd appreciate it (black DW with white numerals).

Thanks for the help so far, katt and QinetiQ!

You might wanna try and look on ebay. I'm sure there's something on there. I have a spare ETA white on black datewheel so if you want, look around and see if it will fit. If it does, I'll send it to you for free mate. It's the very accurate for a pam but hey, it's free hehe
