The lug size on this watch is 24mm - so you can get 24/24 or 24/22. You can have a deployant on any PAM watch as the watch itself does not dictate the type of clasp needed. If you want a deployant you need to make sure that the strap you order is made for a deployant clasp. These straps will taper in width so that the long end will fit through the deployant. Also the strap will have a different cut out where the clasp/deployant will connect. For tang clasps, the cut out is regular and smaller, for deployants the cutout is wider.

For example: See the two images below, the first is for a tang clasp, note the size of the cutout that fits the clasp tongue, the second picture is for deployant, again note the size is different) also the thickness will usually taper to 2mm. You have to make sure your strap is designated for deployant if you intend to wear it with one.

26mm will not fit, you will wind up ruining the strap if you try to cut it down to fit the 24mm lug space.

Please when you are talking about the new improved Seagull with the new decoration don't say inverted.

Inverted was the first old decoration with the balance cock in the wrong direction
New improved movements have NON-inverted layout decoration and balance cock and inscription are appropriately placed

Therefore the new improved decorated movements Seagull and last based in A7750 are NON-INVERTED

Hey ALE. Since the inverted connotation was in reference to the orientation of the balance cock, can't we just call the non-inverted layout as corrected layout? People tend to be confused when they encounter terms with double negatives (non and inverted). Is the inverted the correct one or is it the non-inverted? But if you have inverted and corrected, it is easier to explain (easier to remember as well). :)

This is a good idea

Maybe the most clear nomination would be CORRECT LAYOUT , regarding balance cock orientation, bridges shape and inscriptions

Unfortunately there is a lot of threads and info talking about NON-inverted layout, many of them written by myself.

From this moment I will try to say CORRECT (non-inverted) layout

Thanks

Hi guys, is this the new ST2555 everyone is talking about, non inverted cock or as per Ale, the "Correct layout", balance cock pointing @ 7? I got confused on the movement description, i was hoping to read "st2555..." Instead of "asian 23j automatic movement". Apologies...i'm new to Pams and just started doing my studies. Big thanks to Ale's Pam guide.

Balance cock is at 7 for gen, that is @6 o' clock as per the Seagull ST2555 movement.

I think dlcountopau is meaning that balance cock decoration comes from @7 to @6 instead

This movement is the improved P.9000 decorated Seagull with CORRECT (non-inverted) layout. I have called it KP9000-Seagull V2 in PAM GUIDE
Last decorated Seagull movement inverted layout had the balance cock decoration coming from @5 to @6

You can see in PAM GUIDE, datasheet of PAM441, info and comparison pics of this new Seagull decorated non-inverted layout

ALE

BTW- Please note I'm talking about balance cock DECORATION, because the real balance cock remains coming from @5 to @6 as you can see in the pic under the false scapement wheel

I've just ordered my first Pam! Ended up deciding on the 359 as my first!! Knowingly this will be the first of many to come lol

I should be expecting the QC pics from my TD any day now, are there anything in particular that I should keep an eye out for??
