Keeps great time, no issues with the movement ....
Only added a movement holder to both sides, found one holder not to be sufficient. ( you could see the movement moving when setting time )
The next thing I changed is the crown & CG to a noob version, the gap between crown and case is now not as prominent and I prefer the finish of the noob crown ( the one on my 390 was poorly finished and had rough edges )
CG now has a better pin, flat & completly flush ...
Doesn't really show on my pictures, but that's because of my skills as a photographer , .... LOL ;)

It's a fantastic rep , very gen like :thumbsup:

Good to hear about the movement. How easy is the noob cg swap? The gap between the case irritates me a lot with the H fac's.

Mambo have you tried your CG from the 005K, I wonder what it's like on the 390?

My 005 has a noob CG as well, .... also to correct crown from case space , to create some distance opposite too 390 ;)

Will have a look at your suggestion , thanks !

So best bet is to order one with a noob cg from the TD? What do cg's set you back at?

Dealers will not sell it with a Noob Cg, you should be able to pick one up in the forsale section, they usually sell for about $45.

Ah ok thanks. Think best bet will be to actually get one with a flush cg if that is possible.

If you do not want to swap, you can always remove the rubberseal from the existing crown ( or replace with a thinner one ), it will decrease the gap between the case as well ....

Nice sharrkey !!! ;)

I did some work on my 390 again, changed the cg back to the original one, together with a noob crown on which I changed the seal rubber to a thinner one ....
After this I made the cg pin slightly recessed ( & re-polished it ) , to make it look almost the same as the one on my Gen 111 ...

End result

That looks excellent Mambo, is it supposed to flush or slightly recessed, as the Cg on my 005k is slightly recessed, might just swop the crown guards around

Completely flush or slightly recessed would look best IMHO ...
Mine was sticking out ever so slightly, and that bothered the crap out of me :facepalm:

I'm going to have to stop with all these minor issues, giving me OCD:frusty:

What's the difference between this model and the PAM112, besides the transparent back?
