My first Panerai CG rescue...

Recommended Posts

A member on RG sent me his CG from his beautiful 127 rep after attempting to do the hot glue fix and pin polish modification.

This was my test run to see if this is something I might do for a fee on a limited basis to members.

Nicely cleaned up :)

 

As a PAM n00b, am I right in thinking that the majority of reps have an issue with the CG because it doesn't shut firmly and falls open / doesn't contact with the crown / doesn't match up to the case correctly?

Yes, yes, and yes.. but my scope is only to tighten the feel of the lever and to appropriately finish the CG.

However, the most obvious tell on most PAM reps is how the stock CG looks in its finish.

Well done, Doggie. Looks like a million bucks! (or $40, or whatever you may decide)

I think this is why I'll be sticking to PAM homages... lol

 

Although I may get bitten by the bug! :P

If you can get your volume up to ten a day this could be a nice side income....

Umm 10 a day would be about $400 with no overhead (well very little overhead)... $400 a day.

My goal would be 5-10 a week.

If I did 10 a day for 5 days a week, it would be $104,000 in one year. (2600 PAM crown guards)... I think this in an unrealistic situation.
