Love that strap!! Where did you get it?

Simply outstanding!!

LOL...I will try to remain patient but as you know all too well when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel on a lenghty project it's almost impossible to sit still! Can you clarify for me the difference between an MX vs. Pre V buckle..... is it the shape??

Correct PeteM, I'm trying to get as close as possible to the PreV PVD Logo swen in, however was hoping someone out there was Repping them. I found a few Gen's available, but am hoping to seriously avoid that type of investment. I read somewhere that RF no longer offers this buckle, but I did PM him anyways to see.

Good day fellow members. I've been searching hi and low for the above mentioned buckle to no avail. Would anyone have a source they could share with me? Thank you in advance.

Thanks so much! All I need to do now is get in touch with Jakob!! :-)

Thanks PeteM. For the sake of historical accuracy, what are a few other case back serial numbers (other than the one used on your 202A) would you recommand for my 202A non matching build??

HI PeterM, Great looking piece...I love non matching sooo much! I do have a question regarding the proper case back serial # for Non matching 202A. Is there a certain range of serial # that are applicable only to 202A Non matching? You mention that the discolouration happened on the first few watches. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Denisegold, Want do you mean Vac has one? Does Vac have a 202A from DNS? Thansk.

Thank you all for your advice. Stay tuned as I've placed the order with DSN, have made arrangements with The Zig to mod this baby up and am placing an order with GSD for a complimentary strap. I will post pictures once it's all done.

I hope someone can help me out. I've been trying to change my "member's title" on my profile but have had no luck. Can someone please help? Thank you in advance.

Here's my 322 next to my 217. A really lovely piece the 322 and should give it more wrist time that it getting. http://s1116.photobucket.com/albums/k574/barjo650/?action=view&current=IMG_0874.jpg

Thanks Gianton, I agree as well and the non matching dial is what I will opt for, but what is the most common lume colour for a 202A?

Hi Gianton, when you say "dials relumed" are DSN not as per Gen? If so, what should I be asking for if I should purchase DSN's 202A and want to have those dials relumed? I am fortunate to live very close to The Zig and have had several watches serviced by him and would not hesitate to have him relume this project for me. I would like to learn these types of details, hence why I spend most of my time on the forum. Thanks.

Hello Fellow members. I've long wanted a 5218-202A and over the last few months I've notice DSN and DW offering up their versions. I realize that building one myself would be the preferred method, but I unfortunately lack the patiences and the knowledge to do so. (If a member has a 202A build they are looking to sell PM me) ) If you didn't have the time to search, purchase and build your own, which one would you purchase and what minor changes would you make to give it a more Gen look? DSN: DW: I appreciate in advance all comments and thoughts. Thanks!

Hi Bensoup, Welcome! Go to the main page and scoll down to the heading "Watches, Clothing and Accessories". There you will find trusted dealers. I've purchased a few from Davidsenjpn and have always been very happy with quality. Good luck!

Beautiful colour combination. Great job!

That's great...thanks PeteM. How do I get into contact with Zigmeister?

I'm in Toronto, Canada.

Thank you Ranger. Is ther anyone in particulare you'd recommend to service the movements?

Thanks Hooky. I agree. I think what I will do is wait it out, perhaps find someone locally to take a look. At the end of the day if the only problem with the watch is the stiff crown than I should be grateful. Rather that than to be out of a watch thanks to Chinese customs or every worst, being scammed! The watch is absolutely great not to mention it extremely accurate. I wish I knew this forums existed years ago, everyone is so helpful. Thank you all for your advise.

What does "drop shipped" refer too? I've seen it several times on these boards but don't know what it really means.

So I shouldn't worry about sending it back, this is common practice in the rep world?

hi everyone. I'm new here and this is my first post. I wanted to get your advice on whether it’s worth the trouble or not to send my Pam 288 watch back for repairs based on the following. I ordered a Pam 288 and received it promptly last week. The watch is as expected and advertised. Everything is working correctly and I'm very impressed with the quality with the exception of these two issues. 1) The crown is extremely difficult to screw back on....to the point where the tips of my fingers hurt. If I don't add significant force then there is now way I can get the crown to screw on. I also don't want to end up stripping the threads 2) I have other automatic watches and when I shake to wind I don’t really hear anything but a slight noise of the watch winding. With the PAM 288, I think I hear something either loose or it's simply noisy when you wind it. Can other PAM 288 owners confirm they also hear something rattling or does my watch indeed have something loose?
