I need your help to FINALLY finish my 202a Project , Please come to my thread to Share your knowledge & Experience

I REALLY Need yours skills & talents , since my hands shake too much , Im sure i will end having my parts modded from you one way or another

I opened the same thread on RWI but I guess I will have more communication with you guys over here :

PLEASE for Pity's Shake HELP ME close this Initial (First) and LAST project ! 

Hi Fellows

I remember having register in wrist-check in 2009 because of the 5218-202/a (my first dive into horology)
Ive spend months and months and months trying to gather informations (not in my original language) , purchasing individual parts , ending getting a DSN 202a (first batch) , Later a nice 111H (but both with Swiss Eta)...and then getting desperate while experiencing a LOTS of medical drama in my own life and others around me.

from time to time i emerged here but sadly the last 2-3 years was worst than the others (full plate of medical appointment & bills) at a point i have made several depression and was wondering if i could make it throught...

couples of days/weeks ago I told to myself , "Damn , Lets Try Enjoying Life the Best i can before its too late" 
I Remembered Watches Forums and how Cool theses places are to be and I decided to blow the dust out of my wood box filled with 202a parts

Now in 2016 , a lots of water have flowed under the bridges and i wonder whats the PERFECT Combinaison of parts for getting the PERFECTION for building a 202a.

------------------------------------------
I have a very TIGHT budget now and this watch will be the VERY LAST ONE I will build/pay for ! (its Sad , but its Beautiful in the same time)
so i want it to be SPOT ON compared to a GEN and Most importantly compared on my already wasted money on my old 202a/111H wich im totally disgusted when looking at them now. (it break my heart , literally)

You can show me yours 202a , you can upload 3 photos only per member (Case / Crown-CG / Caseback) and must include a list of trusted dealers and the ULTIMATE Parts they can provide for completing one of a HELL 202a. 
and when i mean HELL , I mean SERIOUS PROFESSIONAL Stuff here , THE BEST OF THE BEST , La Creme De La Creme!

I need your help Gentlemen 

Lets the Party Begin

Alex,

Thanks in advance!

I need his E-mail too for an order , could you help me ?

Guys

I have just advertised such a watch in the FS section under PAM GMT with working Power reserve. It is a 47mm case with crsytal display back showing a good looking auto movement.

 

Regards

Astonjenks

Hi AstonJenks , 

Me too im exhaustively search to purchase a Pam 00317 "Black Night" with movement that have a WORKING Chrono & Reserve Power 

could you help me and tell me where exactly you have find your 00317 ?  and could you tell me if its still available ?

Waiting for your kind answer my friend

Very nice pics. I am with you on the dilemma of ownership. I really would like to have one in my collection as it is a really neat piece. However, I just can't imagine the circumstances under which I could actually wear it. As you said, it draws just a little too much attention.

I recently had the opportunity to do some repair work on one of these for another member and overall it is one solid piece. However, the hands arrangement is a little weird. In order to get the correct clearances the tubes on the hands are abnormally long, so handle with care. Also, as with any rep, if you really like it, treat it to a service otherwise yours might end up like the one below. So if I may join in, here are a few shots I took as I worked on it so that you may all see the inside of the beast.

Nice case back construction

The heart of the beast (2834-2)

Problem #1: Sweep hand hitting minute hand (turned out the hand was loose on the tube)

Problem #2: Calendar Driving Wheel explosion

Problem #3: Chewed up hour wheel

A few of the movement teardown

Back together again

Here you can see the really long tubes I was talking about

Dial and hands on

All done

Overall I was very impressed with the watch. Almost to the point of getting one myself.....but not quite

 

Hi

did you stil have theses photos of when you worked on a Ploprof V2 , im EXTREMELY interested to see them !!

(please please please)

it's the swiss ultimate version with correct bezel. also serviced and lumed by the zigmeister and single ar coated by chief. thanks for the compliment buddy!

where I can order this watch with this bezel ?

...it will be my 3th purchase for this model , damn LOL

MBK v6: That not a big deal , I will still prefer to make orders with BK for V6 Version with him

personally inspecting and fixing everything that needs fixing (gaskets, parts alignment, pearl mod - big deal for accuracy, DW overlay, etc.)

its a lots higher , but I found (personally) that it worth the money! I had a little issue with steel ring

(engraving job) and glasp (almost invisible) print Logo) could be my fault for not having asked him to personally

check this before shipping ,but im sure he will fix the problems in a timely manner!

Friends of mine and my Boss want me to order them V6 (perfectly QCs from BK) the watch start to became

a real "where did you purchased this watch" talker around me , never expected so many attention !!! lol

if you want "THE" DSSD version , Go for BK guys

Guys this one is coming in real soon so dont buy another version!

Its the dssd v7 acording to my friend plaifender.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH.....(Holy [censored])

Sold but can work another

for how much ?

I wouldn't buy through his website.. the watch is cheaper if you mention you're an RWG member I ordered mine directly through email contact. 10 euros less than his website

10 euro less for a total of ?? (with or without shipping ?)

I have send him an email ...still waiting for his reply.

waiting for your reply

Thanks in advance Plaifender

...maybe if we ask DSN (Davidsen) to "correct" the Pre V case he actually sell ?

...he will be able to produce them in high volume resulting in the price will be very good for everyones , and he will be able to add the "ACCURATE" Pre V case in his already very long Pam parts...

I think that it will be a very convenient and low cost option for everyones that want them

what did you think ?

share your opinions

Finally , DSN advised me that his "team" is working on a new Pre V cases

Hi kruzer ,

when you say : "The owner of the shop couldn't have been nicer and spent a couple of hours analyzing the requirements. He concluded he didn't have the appropriate machine. In spite of the fact he does a lot of hi tech stuff he doesn't have any machine above a 4 axis. He let me know I need a 6 axis machine (suggested Citizen "Screw" Machine)and that it would require being able to to take 2.75" steel bar as feed."

Can this help ?
