{*PCTeam*} PAM 569 / 127 Crown Guard Exchangeability

[mysterio]

This was asked of me but since this might be of use to somebody else, might as well make this public info.

A member bought a PAM127 which unfortunately arrived with a PAM217 crownguard. So the question was, could another CG be used to replace the PAM217 CG, specifically the PAM569 which matches the orientation of the PAM127 CG since the lever would need to point downward on the PAM127. Since I had both, I removed the CGs for both watches and checked whether they could be interchanged. Here is the result:

PAM 569 KW CG and screws on the left, PAM127 Noob CG and screws on the right

If you focus on the red ovals, you can see that the roller shape is distinctly different. This would mean that the PAM569 CG would result in the lever not being able to lock because of this difference. If you used the PAM127 CG on the PAM569, the lever would be too loose and might not lock at all. So there you go, unfortunately, you will have to find a part from the same watch, which for the Noob PAM127, is currently out of stock. I am not sure whether the CG for the SF PAM127 would be usable in this scenario although the shape looks promising. Anyway PAM569, no, SF PAM127, maybe.

Thanks for this info. Have wondered about this myself.

Thanks for trying and for sharing

Is the size and shape of the body the same and do the cg pin holes line up? In other words, if you had the 127 lever, could you swap it into the 569 body?

Thanks for testing my theory Mysterio, it is much appreciated. I am exploring ALL possibilities right now, but at least I know that this won't work.

Dochere2 raises an interesting point though - what about a lever transplant? would the 569CG body actually mate to the Noob127 Case accurately?
If so, this could be an option.

What's the differences in the case shape of the Noob 127 vs the SF 127? I am wondering what, if any, compatibility issues there would be mating the SF CG to the Noob.

Somehow Ill get the correctly orientated CG onto this 127...where there's a will, theres a way, right?! I am hoping one day someone will PM me telling me they have one available, until then....McGyver it!!!


Thanks again for taking the time to do this Mysterio, another reason why you are an invaluable resource to this community.

Thanks mysterio for the info
Anyway is not the PAM 569 CG made of Ti instead of SS ?

Hmm, I will check and let you know later.

It is. Not so clear in the pictures but the PAM569 CG has a slight tinge to it. But unless you knew what to look for, it would pass as a slightly darker brushed SS CG.

Hi i have PAM 372 and PAM 312 by noob but both without CG,
I am trying to find the CG for it. Where can i buy it? and about the compatibility

I would suggest contacting the TDs about it.

I would suggest contacting the TDs about it.

Will the TD provide the CG only? where to look in this forum?
Sorry, still newbie!
