Cost of the Prof Cristal?

I paid $230 installed by Prof himself.

Makes the difference? Unfortunately i am in EU...

That's more than 50% of the stock watch cost. Improvement is visible but not worth it at that price (For me ,that is. You do you, it's your money).

Hey Gents, the movement on my 1074 has stopped. Is there anyone on the CONUS that works/services these p9000 movements?

Hi wiseguy, did you find anyone Conus to work on your 1074?

No, unfortunately… my 1074 sits here looking amazing and movement not working.

Well look on the bright side @wiseguy1481: it's right twice a day!

 

[Commander Straker]

Thinking about it; if you use your phone to find the time, and then keep setting the watch hands to the correct time, it'll be right many more times a day. Simple!

Have you checked in w/ any of the US based watchmakers on the site? If so, is the 1074 movement not one they work on?
I have a 1074 which still runs great (knock on wood!) but would be interested to hear how you work it out.

I have checked with the 2 I work with and have sent my builds to… they do NOT work on these Pam movements unfortunately. I’m more frustrated because my 1074 has the Prof crystal installed and looks amazing!

I’ve asked about 3 US based watchsmiths and all of them said they don’t work on a P900 Asian movement, I’m wondering if I replace the movement altogether with a Swiss and wondered what would fit, I know it would look weird with the open back but hey it will work..!

Uhhh don't quote me but I'm not sure even the 7750 without chrono would fit. The P900 unfortunately is one of the few movements that is a PITA to replace and service, no spare parts, no easy swap, better to sell it for parts and buy a new one in my eyes.

Anyone tired of their watch? I want one

Here is the leather I chose (link below). I gave specific instructions so it fit a 42mm Pam and opted for 10cm extra length on long (non-buckle) side. And only 5 holes. I drew everything out and love the result.

Custom ask:
5mm thick strap vs 4mm
8mm thick loops vs 5mm standard.
4mm space for buckle pin
tubes for my own bar (no spring bar need of course)
10mm extra length
Only 5 oval holes (2x4mm wide) in the middle of my wrist size.

If you don't instruct you will get standard thickness etc and buckle. Pams are thicker in many many places when it comes to straps.

Photos are before Prof crystal. I love the Prof Crystal on this watch and and will send my Pam Titanio Luna Rossa to Prof next. The VSF crystals had to much glare for me.

oh, and also chose stitching from another strap on his sales page (catalog).

Goal was to match both the dial and the case in the strap.

I also did not go for a super long strap, just 1cm longer. The tradition is from using these watches over dry suits when diving (I've read somewhere). So I get it for those that like super long straps. No hating here.
