My First Two Builds

Recommended Posts

J.Eric

Hi Guys!

 

For several months now, I have been gathering tools, supplies and parts to create a couple PAM Homage watches.

 

I have spent countless days painting, luming, repainting, reluming, polishing, assembling and disassembling these

 

watches that if need be, I can swap out a movement in a flash.

 

Here are a few pictures..............  

 

111J

 

This 111 started life as a H series I got  from a fellow member who said it came from one  of Robert's (R.I.P.) auctions.

I got the idea from a thread on one of the forums and when the movement died, I thought why not. The movement is a

Molnija 3602 from a pocket watch. Ironically, the original 6497 started working when I was finished.

2533 #1

 

I built this one from scratch. The case is 47mm Radi with a dome plexi from Tat. The movement is a Molnija 3601 from a

pocket watch dated 04-1960. The 2533 dial came from the bay. I got two for $30. I sprayed it 'oil rubbed bronze' that looks

amazing when he sun hits it just right.

Very nice, great outcome :) I think it's very cool if you're into reps game and you have the skills to fix stuff, could come in handy many times :lol:

 

And wearing watch you made/fixed is totally diffrent feeling, enjoy them :)
