The only sandwich dial destro with polished case is the 219.

Thanks everybody! I am definitely loving the creamy patina on the 023a T dial.

The tuxedo dial is wonderful...me like.

Gen or Rep???? My eyes are AP trained and lost their ability to spot PAM-reps

Theo

And you do have good eyes. The 023a is gen and the 029b is a franken.

Here is a wrist shot and a pic of it with it's younger brother.

I almost thought it was gen! All you need is a gen CG and no one would question it!

Unless I'm wrong and it's just the angle.

Regardless....it looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!!

The crystal and bezel look amazing!!

That one is gen croc.

Awesome mate! But you might want to check with Orloff to confirm. He told me he doesn't have that pattern on gen croc...only on his calf.

But who cares really....it looks fantastic!!

Lever pin and crown position! Any thing else?

Great collection you have here.

Lever itself as well....I modded a 111J lever and had it sent to Avitt for DLC coating...same with the pin and crown.

I have 2 more builds to add to the list. Both still need a bit of work but it'll do for now.

13. 113J

14. 025a

wats the strap for 024L cool ...

SanDave special tanning gator.

Also modded the 026k.

Strap on the 26k is a custom Simona vintage tan.

And here is an updated pic of my 176L.

Added another one to my collection!!

On this strap

Sorry guys, I'm not selling them.

BoooooooooOOOooooo....

I should have bought your 025 you sold a while ago.

Wow....I want this. Any way of selling me a CP or modding one for me?

Sander...can you please PM me?

I had an older LH 112 and the crystal was ok...but the AR was absolutely horrible!!!

I have one of these and it's absolutely awesome! Definitely a must have.

Stevie approved collection.

LOL!!!

Thought I would start a thread with my PAM projects for 2011. This will be a great way for me to keep track....of how much money I'm spending. I think I'm pretty much done with the exception of the 26k and tweaking a few of the ones I already have.

Please let me know if you see any improvements that can be made....I would love to hear your suggestions/comments!

sanders,

can you share with us , where you get these all gen AP parts?

and , i would like to ask how much the total cost for this project.. ?

how about the gen AP strap , how much for it?

thank you

It sounds like to me the customer provided the gen parts....

And man....this is the exact AP I want! If your friend decides to sell...please tell him I want it.

poor, poor, poor 219.

Great job on the 217 mate.

Best one I have seen!!

Awesome stuff!

Yup!! I'm quite happy with this one.

I have never heard it called that.... Sorry to go OT a bit Sam but would the pin on a PVD PreV that wasnt blackened also be the same finish?

Actually....I thought they were all PVDed from factory and thought the ones that weren't were refinished or just rubbed off. Haven't done too much research on the pre-a pvd PAMs.

Sam, H3?

Ya...I know....a bit too high for a 201a.

Thanks Sam

Mate that dial is sweet !!

The finish is superb and that Lume job!!

I have used the 111 cases for a couple of PreA projects but as I have a 202 dial and hands from Simon I really feel the need for a PreV and it's your fault!!

You mention using Seads lever but you reshaped it was that just to fit the LH shape (curviature) or did you reshape the top of the lever as well? And what was your thinking in deciding to do that? Did you split an LH and Sead to do it or having the parts split anyway?

Thanks again mate I appreciate you taking the time mate

PS I don't suppose you might have a spare compression ring laying about sorry for the OT

Ha....ya...superb finish and lume job indeed! Zig does a fantastic job!!

Ya...I reshaped the top of the lever as well...I sacrificed a Sead CG just to use the lever. I really didn't like LH's lever...especially the crappy thinned out head where it touches the crown.

Compression ring? for the bezel?? PM me mate.

Sam you tease!!!

It would be great to see the dial from an angle so you get least distortion off the crystal and can see the depth of the lume, if you know what I mean..,big boy!!

Ok....just for you Pete!!

That dial is simply lovely mate

Would love to see some more angled pics of it

Congrats mate it's really come together

How would you like her?

From behind?

On her side?

You tell me and I'll position her to take some pics.

Beautiful watch!

Can you tell us a little more about your recipe for the build?

Thanks.

Sure mate.

- OEM sapphire crystal with no AR from a gen 01b

- 111J case with new crown tube

- refinished LH CG with reshaped Sead A-F CG lever

- The Zigmeister lumed matted dial

- DSN pre-v hands (I have FGD's but these matched better)

I don't remember where I got the crown.....but it's identical to my gen crowns but a tad thicker....I believe that's the same as the gen 201a.
