The real star of this Pre-A show is the Rolli dial. OEM quality materials, manufactured in the same, well everything. Paint is perfection and the lume has outstanding vintage patina. Rolli is an obsessive master, and it was an honor to connect with him and acquire a few of these now extinct Pre-A dials. I don’t know how much longer Rolli will keep supplying our hobby with the ultimate dials, so my plan was to take advantage now, and build over time. Fair warning, his dials are addictive. I bought one to start... now up to four. For the donor watch, I followed a thread somewhere that went on for pages on this case. Lots of speculation and gushing about the first ones in hand, but no truly critical details. For me the big thing was it was the latest to be released, September 2017, and I knew I was going to replace the dial, hands, strap and case back. The Noob V4 is the best alternative, but for me more work. PAM 111 has a seconds hand, so movement needs modification to remove. Easy enough, but... Also, crown and crown guard upgrade is a well documented path which I gambled might not be necessary with the FX. I found at least 3 trusted sellers offering this watch, so sourcing was pretty easy.
