  1. Lost my platinumness, but just a small glitch!!! Site looks great btw!!!
  2. Sweet B!!! Enjoy and wear it well...it's brother says hello
  3. Thanks Pete! If I had a bird modelling it, you wouldn't pay attention to the watch!
  4. Thanks M!!! I had to be really careful when placing it of course, that's the last thing I need is to scratch it! I'm still learning...but that's the whole point of photography and it's a passion that intertwines with this hobby!
  5. Thanks for the nice comments gents, greatly appreciated!!! Cheers and all the best!
  6. The entire watch was re-coated by The Zigmeister including the Case, Palp crown and LH CG! Yup, there's a demand for PVD'd CG's, got that right!
  7. Thanks!!! It had to be PVD coated, he doesn't offer them coated unfortunately!
  8. I'm not as picky as some...but the CP is polished, how much polishing does it need? Either way, I'm not touching it until it needs a service
  9. Thanks bro!!! Still practising with the lens, takes time
  10. Well, The 202A really needs no introduction, the Gen is pretty much on everyones grail list...but it's one of those pieces that turned my passion into a full fledged seductive obsession! After seeing so many amazing builds, I was hooked and like every PAM addicted member, started doing research on the Gen! Then, like most of us, it turns into a hunt for the most accurate parts to create your own Pre-V masterpiece. I'm a tad obsessive compulsive, but I had to stay within my means and these builds aren't cheap....all that matters is that it puts a smile on my face On a special note, my Father doesn't wear watches...but when he saw this piece, he was like a kid on Christmas morning! After seeing his reaction, I thought what better gift for a Father who has everything...so, I offered to build him one, that was a moment to remember, I'll never forget his smile...he should have one on his wrist for Christmas morning! The build took well over a year, collecting and meticulously fitting parts prior to being coated. Everything was then sent to The Zigmeister last August and the ultimate wait began! But, after about 9 months in the Zig Spa (Movement took forever to arrive), it was complete and well, here's the result. I've had it for a while now, but wanted to give it a much deserved shoot! Specs: - DSN 202A Caseset (Gen Spec PVD Coating) - ETA 6497-1 (Brand new in sealed package) - FGD v2.0 Dial (Matte coated and tritium color lume) - FGD v2.0 Hands with correct ends (Non matching lume) - LH CG - Palp Crown - Jakob Caseback - Dirk Vero Cuoio Nero Strap with PVD 24mm ‘Dirk’ COINAGE buckle A massive thank you to The Zigmeister (Rob & Jennifer) for their craftsmanship, professionalism and friendship; to FGD (Simon) for taking the time to create such amazing dials/hands that are integral to the build of the watch and to Jakob who was in the midst of becoming a Father, hope all is well. Of course, where would I be without the forum, the build wouldn't be possible and I've made some great friends along the way, so thanks for the help and guidance!!! Cheers! Hope you enjoy the shots...
