Hi everyone,
After many months of waiting, I managed to find a used PAM204 Wempe.
Unfortunately, it has some issues that meed some modding to fix. I was wondering if anyone here can give some input on it.
The first issue is that it comes with the 45mm wire lugs, not the 42mm ones. That means that they overlap a bit. I was thinking of cutting them to be shorter to see if they fit. Would you guys know if the angles on the 42mm lugs and the 45mm are the same?
Lastly, the chrono pusher at 2 seems to get stuck. I'm thinking of replacing it with the correct, non-screw down pusher. Do any of you know if I can use the existing 45mm chrono pushers from a 288?
This is one of my top PAM watches to own, but it's unfortunate that Andrew/Josh stopped producing them. If I can get these parts working, that would be so great!
Thanks!
