Finally got this repaired after a night on the tiles and then I dropped it on the tiles! Winding bridge/gears bent. Watch Smith also mentioned mainspring was weak and would not supply a good amplitude to the watch so replaced. Now running like a champ.

You triggered me ... just ordered a white strap for my 683. Looks great ;-)

Hi,

my rotor was not properly attached, so I just tightened the rotor attachment screws. Then I put a small amount of silicone grease on a needle point and carefully put some grease on the balls in the rotor bearing, they are visible in the gap around the center of the rotor. After this all my noice was gone.

Solved for mine too.

A little bit of Mobius D5 and a small amount of lithium grease... now is almost perfect!

It seems like these are available from TDs again, has anyone pulled the trigger?

Hello friends! Can anyone tell me if this one also has a "quick hour hand adjustment" (I don't know the specific term) for setting date and hour and does the second hand stops? Is it the same as gen? Thank you. :)

Would you guys know of any TDs or others that have the correct Crystal upgrades for the PAM683 (or even the PAM000)? Can't seem to unsee the fisheye crystal

Is the thickness of this watch accurate now or still a little thicker than gen?

Didn't see any updates.

The fisheye should still be present on the VSF and the thickness is still higher and I don't think it can be fixed.

I ordered from Hont 14 days ago and he said they were available, I am yet to receive QC though and no answer to when either.

I doubt that you will get it... I ordered 3 VSF PAMs from hont a few weeks ago... after a few weeks of waiting the order had to be cancelled cause VSF wasn't producing any PAMs at that time

That’s what I’m fearing. Pain..

Was anyone able to get one of those recently?

I can’t find any TD to sell it at the moment. What would be the best alternative in your minds? I really like the submersible look

I think it makes sense to consider PAM959 VSF or PAM1209. I am not aware of their existence, but it makes sense to try.
