Waltham Pam Homage Builds

[Subjeff]

I just finished up my 4th Waltham build using a Pam style case. Here are brother and sister side by side. The dial, hands and movement are approximately 112 years old. Fun building a watch using parts that have such history. I only use movements that have already been decased or are in a case that is damaged beyond repair. I believe I'm giving them a new lease on life so to speak. Hope you enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful Jeff! I'm tempted to stalk ebay for these movements. Inspiring!

Hey Sub, any chance of you making a tutorial for us on how to put these together? I know i'd love to see the method behind it!

Simply gorgeous, the mix of parts, dial movement, casing, hands simply makes a perfect mix.
I just love these. Thanks for the wonderful pics

Lol...that's what my wife said. I thought the black, white and red would compliment the colors of the dial. I have a black and white, which will probably make its way onto the stainless watch.

Ale, between you and my wife, I have been guilted into replacing the band. Lol

Very nice work jeff. The polished cases lend their look to the classic dials. And I agree with Ale and your wife on the strap change. :lol:

Haha...my kids like the red, white and black strap. Must have got their design taste from me.:helpsmilie:

Your wife should educate your kids

Keep it up Ale and I'm going to pick up my ball and go back to playing in the Rolex section.:laugh:

 

[ALE7575]

That would be worse taste than the strap

These are amazing builds. Any chance you'll be trying it with other movements and dials also?

 

[Subjeff]

Yes, I'm always looking for other movements and dials to use. I have ideas about hamilton 917 /921, cortebert and molnija. I believe there are also some other waltham movements that can be used. Always searching for something else. I have a hard time getting the walthams in good condition and working. I like to buy movements that were just serviced so there is no issues.
