bigbossa 0 Posted August 10, 2011 Hi Guys Appreciate your advice , I have one of Roberts $99 Pams 111 ( the first one) http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...?showtopic=6194 also managed to nab a 111J dial /hand set and hi beat movement .Now is it worth swapping out the dial and movement or should I just get hold of a new 111m and swap the dial ? Your opinions please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted August 10, 2011 Not sure why you'd want to swap the dial on a 111m - the first thing you'd lose is the superlume. Honestly, it's really not worth upgrading the cheaper models - they're great for the dough, but there are too many issues to make 'em worth modding. Unless, of course, you just like messing around with watches at which point, go for it and have fun! If you want the most accurate, however, I'd say skip it. Buy the latest h-factory 111m and leave it as is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howdy Greg Yeah mate I see what you mean, what I should of said was maybe swap out the 111 m top plate for the 111j that way retaining the superlume and maybe have the hi beat movement as well.I know some people have been doing this. I guess keeping the case would be the only original part left because I think the crown and CG aren't right either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swap the movement if you feel you must. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted August 11, 2011 As HD says, it's a colossal waste of time. The latest h-factory models have been coming with decent movements and there's really nothing else that needs doing. Buy a 111m and be happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
