Thanks all. Watch does look stunning in real life. Apologies for F*@ked-up pics by a novice on a P&S camera. DOes not do justice to the watch AT ALL.
This is my first FGD project and I must say the shimmer on the dial is magnificent. Unbelieavble. I was at a cafe for breakfast and must have aroused suspicion with me having a look at the watch in between sips... lol
@CF: Its my pleasure to tempt you... wat are friends for?
@frogfalls: Its a DSN caseback. No other alternatives at the moment. Awaiting Jakobh casebacks in mid Jan.
@Dluddy: Yup, its the old EL PVD case. That particular case is only useful for PVD/DLC projects.
So... I got fed up and envious of all these nice 202s that I went ahead and build one.
Old EL case, VCG, FGD 202 dial lumed by Ziggi (much thanks to Simon - what a stand-up guy), hands modded to be more gen like, t48 crown, DLC, Pre-V lug screws.
Assembled by Spinmaster
Wearing Dirk's Legno PVD PAV style strap.
Better pics to come next week.
I am done.
Cheers

CF, you'll be straping a better PANDA in about 1 weeks time. Doubled ARed on top of that.. U got to wear the DSSD this weekend mate.
DL, Haha...I might not "like" wearing it as much as my other PAMs but it sure does look good in my watchbox.... lol. Funny coz the Panda definitely has a better finish than my 7753 250. Seem to wear the 250 more. Sweet 243 you have there. Might just get one. Always wanted to have a sub.
Man... these 202s are perhaps one of my favs and the good news is that my watchmaker just informed me that the last piece of my project, the 202 dial has arrived. Can't wait.
What a man does in his provate time is his own business but you have to question his judgement especially with when he knows how much he has to lose should he get caught. I think that Tiger feels he won't get caught given his stature in the golfing scene and his carefully crafted public image. What he did not prepare for was perhaps all the women he's been with coming up to claim their 15 minutes of fame. Once that happened, no amount of damage control and cover up was possible. He couldn't have pulled off a Kobe caused he was far more promiscous.
You got to be pulling our leg with those quesions mate.
Buying a gen B&R tourbillon and then coming here asking how to anthenticate it? Hope you didn't pay gen money for it.
So guys...
I have been involved in too many PAM projects this year and have not been paying too much attention to the replica scene in general, but I thought the IWC TG was a pretty darn good replication.
Wanna hear you input on others that you think is the replica of the year.
