What mods would you do for the 177M

[maxos]

is it my impression or the lume is yellowish ..should it be white creamy???

So

1.Re lume and colour of the lume
2.High beat 6497
3.CG..is this possible to make it totally tight on the case??
4.The dial looks thin or is it my impression ...what would you change on the dial
5.Are the strap pins correct
6.The gap on the bezel is it suppose to be there...


So my Q is how close can you get this model to the GEN

Regards

Where are you looking at this watch? The 177m is a very good rep.

Puretime V2

Gen 177m

Or you can get the new 177n version. Reviewed here;

Yeap that s is the one i have the V2 bought it last year on May ....iits just htat i had a lot of problems with the caliber and am thinking to add a few mods to bring it ccloser to the GEN......

My lume definately doesnt look like the GEN it is yellowish/greenish

Well I guess you could have a re-lume, install a Kuvarsit platinum plated high beat movement, have the CG modded and source a 111 dial or newer 177 dial. But once you have done that the costs would probably come close to a new 177N anyway. Why not just sell the V2 and put some cash you would have spent modding it towards the N series.

The movement in my 177M failed so I replaced the Dial/hands/Movement assembly from a noob 111:

(more pic here)
Compare to my gen 177N I feel it's not that bad.
The H fact lume was better but the Noob lume is still great, I could change the dial backplate and have something better.
The hands are a give away, the gen has the new 'pre V' type hands.

i think also the fade of the titanium is a giveaway ......the GEN has a lighter fade the V2 looks darker....id the PAM177N better on this area.....??

Just replace with a noob mvt and noob 111/177 top plate

On the V2

I've had dozens of Ti Pam rep for the last 6 or 7 years, still have 3 now and never noticed a difference in shade, but I've never seen a v2, surprising that now that they've got everything almost perfect, they would change it quality???
