I have an A series case, if you want to compare. I need to put a lelo wheel on it and a oem crown if you want take it in.

It looks great Zig, I love the dial and hands. PVD coating is very nice too. Seeing it in person with other pvd oem case would be nice. Does not matter where it was done as long as it matches the orginal.

This piece is out of this world in person. Case is the best I have seen. There is 10 hours just in the caseback itself. This and other dials i have seen today are amazing.

T, that looks fantastic mate. Love it.

Watched it as well. Very interesting. I could not believe that they all 7 of them shared a small rat and that is all they ate in 3 days. They suck at fishing

I love it when things work out so well on projects like this. It looks fantastic P and Im sure you will enjoy it. My 24 and your 28 will have to gtg soon.

Listen to the voice of reasoning. 03a for sure.

Its all your fault man.

Indeed andy, that will be fixed and the DW swapped in a few weeks.

About 1.5 yeras ago I frist saw pam-addictions 24a and immediately fell in love with the watch. At this point they were not readily available so I started on my quest. I picked one up but was not happy with it at all. I could do all the mods on it, like vintage tritium looking lume, lelo, fix CG, repolish, etc but at that point I was not into modding. I just wanted it done. I sold the rep I had and I had been in talks with a friend about getting gen parts. On February of last yeat I got a gen dial and hands for the 24a along with a gen dial and hands for an 87a. I also picked up a complete 87 so the dial/hands transplant for the 87 was a breeze and my sub craving was sattisified with the 87a. So now I had the A series dial and hands for the 24 and the quest for the rest of the parts begun. I was in no hurry to build it since I had the 87 to quest my craving so the process was slow. In August I got wind of a gen 24a caseset that was avialable, unfortnalty soemone else already had dibs on it so the phone calls begun. There was a slight problem with the threads on the case so the original buyer sent it back and I jumped at the opportunity to buy it. I had to give up one of my favorite watches in a partial trade but it was well worth it. I got the threads on the case fixed by one of my watchsmiths here in town and now I was in full gear to get the rest of the parts. Through some trades and sales I picked up a gen A series CG and a Gen crown for it and my good friend VDB had shadow caseback for the submersibles. I had him brush the numbers off it and engrave my name on the caseback. I also got an A series coramid strap and currently waiting on a brown TC shark strap for it. I picked up a eta movement and it was all left at VDB workshop when I was there in January so he could assemble it for me. I also got a black lelo DW but I forgot to leave it there so the pics will show a white DW on it. It will be installed upon pickup in two weeks. Today I received pics of the watch built so I will let the pics do the rest of the talking. Many many thanks to those that helped me get the parts and end up with such a great watch. I will be looking forward to taking delivery of this one in Erfurt on the 23rd of this month, along with some other VDB vintages.

Sign ups are very hard to determine due to regional and econimcal times specially when associated to economic hardships.

I would encourage those who can to help. Wish I could.

Great choice Danny, I have been seriously considring this one to add to the hbb collection.

Congrats, Ive been contemplating a gen one of this exact same one.

A lot of CA readers, dont be shy and come out of the woods.
