Hello,
I'm new to this rep hobby, and I want to share an experience. I recently bought 2x 42mm VSF PAM Subs and both have fisheye distortion which frustrated me every time when I look at the watch. First Sub, I got crystal from etashazam, and attempted to replace crystal myself. Half way through the process with 1 screw missing, I gave up and took pieces down to local watch shop. They were so nice and spent about 2 hours fixing my mistakes. It was my first time opening a watch, so it was very challenging. For the 2nd PAM Sub, I was going to sell it due to slightly misaligned 12 marker, but short time later I thought that I should turn this into side hobby. So, I started sourcing sapphire crystals and looking for tools to work on this watch. After a few mishaps, missing 1 rotor screw (and found), stem not engaging, etc, I finished it and also realigned the dial!
