I think you might be happier with the cheap Pam 507. It is rose gold plated with the color you are looking for... And you won't have to worry about patina. I had one and it's actually quite nice for the price... Hefty weight with a working power reserve.

I'm afraid that, anyway, this is not what PAM1983 is looking for !

Hey guys,

I just received my QC pics from Toro. Already had to refuse one version because of crooked bezel marks..
This already looks better to me. :)

The watch looks ok to me, maybe 15 marker a bit crooked.
Strap is damaged.

This is a KW or V6 whatever you wanna call it right? I really like it.

I doubt it
It seems more a ZFac. See the CP (with rim) and the edge (wider) of the bezel

I have made this adjustment on other pams. The case is design has a typical screw down tube, but then you would be left with a gap between the tube and the case. This hex nut fills this gap and sets the spacing between the crown and case. To adjust the spacing, you have to remove the crown guard and crown/stem. Once those are out of the way, you can adjust that nut by pressing it with your thumb and turning. I don't think you need a special tool, but I would suggest removing the the nut and putting a little silicon grease on outer threads of the tube. Screw the hex nut to your desired depth--but take care not to leave too much space you're going to have an issue with winding and setting time and date. I am frankly not sure why adjusting the hex would effect water resistance--you just have to make sure that the gasket on the bottom of the crown makes good clean contact with the hex screw and you should be fine (use a little silicon grease on that crown gasket as well while you're at it.

is it possible that too much space or less speca between crown and case causes problem with the autowind? my pam382 (zf model) rotor doesn't turn Counterclockwise when the cg is closed... but it turn right when the cg is open.... my watchsmith told me that the movement hasn't problem....so I think that the problem is on the space between crown and case.......

Is the lever super tight when you close it? Do you need to apply much force?

What I mean is is it much more tight than your other PAMs?
If so you could try adjusting how much the crown tube protrudes from the case or, worst case scenario, try to sand down the lever a bit.
Pm me some pics so we can talk in italian :)

Has anyone received a Bronzo and had a different color crown guard that dint match the case? Just curious if this has been a problem. Looking into getting this one soon and had my TD send me some QC pics of a watch he sold recently. I won't name names but the pics were way off.
