Well done! Wear it in good health!!!

nice built Z! now just tell us how/where u fish out those gen parts?

Exactly right, FGD. It's not about the cash. It's the thrill of the hunt, and the love of watches. It is just so much fun to see the whole package come together. Thanks for the kind words.

very nice PVD! doesn't look like a sunken datewheel, is that a 7753 under the hood?

Hope this helps W.

I am working on an Angelus project and need input from current owners of Angelus SF 240 movements. Could folks who already own a movement or watch with this movement post a good picture or two of their movements including all bridge plates and the regulator. If for whatever reason you don't want to post publicly please send me a PM including pics. In short I am trying to conduct a survey as to the plate shapes and finish of movements owned by members. All input is appreciated. Please bear in mind that I want pictures of movements actually owned by members rather than generic pictures. If anything comes of this I will let folks know.

Congrats on owning a piece of VDB's work, as I'm very much liking my same watch powered with an SF240. Wear it in good health!

speechless!!!

hey dadog congrats on the 8 days! have you started using the power reserve as a chrono to time Cornelius' walk rate from point A to B?

bet the wait is well worth it for getting another masterpiece from the artist, wear it well!

Nice catch Dadog! But why do you need so many of them?

Gorgeous piece!

gorgeous piece of work!! please do post more of your other collection!

Another masterpiece VDB!

Thanks for all the kind words and suggestions guys! Once again, thank you for your kind referral "t"! If it wasn't you who gave me the helping hand by explaining the work needed and who will be able to perform the mod, this project will not be able to finish or will sit for months.

As for the caseback, I received pics from VDB after completion of the watch but I actually prefer a plain caseback as oppose to engraved version. I think the gear void is ok to me as I think the gen 203 only has 2 gears on the back without the alarm gear void just a plain platform there. I am happy with this watch which has a 7.5 days power reserve, considering the movement is at such age already, no complain.

Cheers,

William

Hey guys, just received my new grail. After having owned an el primero daytona 16520 with MBW case with the great help from Ubi and The Zigmeister on that project, I told myself I should finally start another ultimate rep project: the 8 days pam that I always wanted to get. I just can't afford the gen pam 190 JLC 8 days rad so I thought I should hunt for the real vintage 8 days pam project housing an angelus 240 8 days 6152.

After watching the bay for months I finally found a 4some clock with the alarm version non-sub seconds of the 240 movement. But that was only half of the job as not too many modders have attempted nor is willing to take on such project as to mounting this engine into a rep case ever since the great pam modding godfather "ENZO" has walked away from the rep scene. With the great help from Tourby (aka "T") and Cucumberjones, I was awaken up by the difficulty level of this mounting task. I was then directed to seek help from the magic hands of VDB. And what else can be said about Stephan? Nothing short of breath taking artwork. I think I should stop here and just let the pictures do the rest of the talking...enjoy guys!!!

It all started out like this:

my canada day loooooong weekend watch...

Congrats on wrapping up an awesome project! My own is getting close to 6 months in the works but will soon to be completed.

Looking good with the gen case/dial/bracelets combination!

Many thanks to Randy for his horological-surgeon skills!

from its original form:

Sorry William... It's a bit late...

wut Randy you mean you had it assembled before its delivered?!?!?!.....

OMG its looking awesome! I can hardly wait.

Is it just me, that SEL is fitting between the lugs like a gen! What's the recipe here Randy?

Randy, what about wrist shot of the black dial one?

I think we should start calling Randy the "evil Mr. Rolex"...

He's like a walking rolex library!

Don't know about time, but you can use the chrono function by drawing the time on the crystal, then calculate time with your cellphone

Have fun !! Looking good there !!

Oh Randy, it's not easy to do so physically and financially......

Ken, I thought money is suppose to make life easier but not on time telling?

For some reasons, I'm wearing this watch around the house. But, how am I suppose to tell the time on this one?

Just had a gen dial surgery on my SS gst!!!

after change a hands looks much better for me

Mine just had a gen dial surgery 1 week ago, and hasn't been off my wrist since then...but could "szumi" or anyone shed some lights on me as how to get the newer gen titanium case?

bezel was rinsed off...

Next step should be sourcing the gen tropic 39, crown/tube, polish case/CG.......
