WebWind 1 Posted August 18, 2011 Inspiration: Wiz, Ska and KeNny Support and life saving: my beloved wife Hand shaking prevention: Five lakes vodka Special thanks: finedd’s price policy and RWG Shop My mission was simple. Relume dial and hands of my PAM 111, grease o'rings and seal caseback. Material used: Put down CG Then caseback Movement This screw is holding crown. It needs 1 or 1 and half turn to unscrew. Two tiny bastards. Rodico save my nerves and manipulation was very easy. This is Swan neck Some kitchen hardware can be very useful and can substitute dust cover. Top part of my sandwich dial almost fail after putting hands down. So no heating with hairdryer or bulb was needed. Some dials can be glued more properly so heat and scalpel can help separate glued parts. Dial is attached to movement with two screws and in normal situation is very easy to separate dial from movement by loosing them. In my case things turns to shit very quickly, because of broken worm on one screw. There was no way back so after some manipulation second pin broke. So I have one jammed pin in movement and second one in hand. It can be more clearly seen here. One pin is still jammed in movement. One pin missing. Second pin 2 seconds before breaking. Factory lume. It vas very easy to get lume off the dial. Layer was very thin. Lume. Toluere and acetone was used to lume and grease removal. Paintbox where 2 layers of white acryl lacquer was applied. First layer Second layer After painting I glued broken pin back with epoxy glue. Time to get old lume off.m One drop of solvent can make this very easy. Hands without lume layer New layer of lume Luminosity test Dial with new lume layer. UFO? GS hypo cement on jammed pin Glued sandwich dial back on movement Some cleaning After some trying to install second hand back I realised that second hand pin on movement is too short. Advanced hardware solve problem of too thick lume layer and uneven surface. Much better Installed dial and hands with no problem. Luminosity test Greased o’rings and sealed crystal caseback. Water test in Kenny style I cleaned back of the movement printing from blue residues. This fucking little bastard drove me nuts! This very small screw failed down from my bench and I spent 30 minutes of my life in very near hearth attack stadium finding it. After 30 minutes of very frequent fuck word using my wife came and ….... found screw in 3 seconds. God bless her! All back in one piece My upgraded PAM 111 after dark. Lume last all night. And this is end of my adventure. Thanks for watching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really, a nice job, and great pictures. Thank you Those screws are very bad positioned with minimum room for manipulation. Installing movement back with no experience is like hell. I found a way, first put the plate on the hole, so you will have room to insert screw in with tweezers :)you need sharp and thin tweezers. works like a charm. But I am also cursing when the screw will jump all over my desk to my dark laminate floor. Then I would love to have spectral vision like Predator, to see all metallic objects ONLY.

KeNnY 29 Posted August 19, 2011 +1 ! We have large selection of Maggi tools Must search eBay for some testing dials yes We can then do with each different Maggi different results like Vintage 1950 look, Vintage 1980 look, Vintage master chefs looks (watch accidentally cooked with soup, giving ultimate vintage look with nice chicken aroma) etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
