WholesaleOutlet990 on ebay should have the right screws: http://stores.ebay.com/WHOLESALEOUTLET990/PANERAI-TUBES-AND-SCREWS-/_i.html?_fsub=185576010&_sid=268970040&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

I just installed a new tube and T48 crown on my 201a build, but the new Goin CG I just received does not close. What is the best way to adjust the CG lever to get it to fit just right? Here's a pic of how far it closes before the lever stops:

Looks great, esp the dial!

Sweet! +1 on specs

Looks good! My 201a is just unmodified 111J case for now... i dont have the balls (or tools) to reshape

Looks good, more pics please!

Cool! The 360 is nice, be sure to post pics when it arrives!

very nice!

jackson will probably sell you just a crown guard if you ask

awesome duo on awesome straps!

I just put together my first attempt at a Pre-V build, and this is still a work in progress. I have a new tube and T-48 crown waiting to be installed, but I don't know how to remove the existing tube! If anyone could help, that would be great.

Meanwhile, I also would like suggestions as to which strap I should buy for a nice classic Pre-V look. I don't really care for shark straps, so I'd go for brown or tan leather. Also, I don't know what crystal and CG would be better/correct for Pre-V, so please list suggestions!

Specs of my build so far:

- N-factory 111J case set w/ CG

- H-factory crystal

- FGD dial, lightly lumed

- helenarou Pre-V hands

- DSN case back

- Swiss 6497 w/ H3

Future upgrades:

- case reshaping

- FGD hands

- a Pre-V CG

- crystal?

- drilled lugs with Pre-V lugscrews

Here are a few straps I am considering:

diStefano tan or Vachetta

Paci XXI

Paci Senape

Strap Works Special LV

Paci Cognac
