w0lf Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I thought I'd share this exciting news with the rest my fellow hobbyists. Those not familiar with this project, and also others whom don't venture outside of the comfort of this place might be interested to find out, that for the past several months Jakobbh from RG has been working on producing accurate PAM casebacks. If you're interested in reading the whole project thread with over 200 posts you can check it out here. A picture is worth a 1000 words so you can judge for yourself, 5218-201/A is the 1st to be made: The polls are open on the next casebacks to roll off the production line. Needless to say we will now have not only the benefit of precisely engraved casebacks but also the correct fonts, layout, geometry and in most cases millisimation to BB/PB relationship. I know I'm excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Whoa! Those look nice!! Pre-V only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Nope, the first ones produced will be for 201/A but the polls are there to vote on the next to be made. Can you imagine that after 4 years and at least 3 different versions/factories, a correct C year and matriculation # caseback will be available for 63?

palani21 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 063...063... yup, jakob's da man and if everything comes out as good as that 201 then we're all stoked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 It looks great alright, just what we all wanted!! I've voted in the poll but the options are almost endless - as will be the demand I expect!! Kudos to the creator FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 FGD, You see all those PreA votes in there, those are at least how many PreA dials you now have to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Pre-A stuff would be nice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Pre-A stuff would be nice!! Ditto - oh and A /B series OP6500 / OP6502 - proper 22 and 26 casebacks , PAM 40 , PAM 61 , not forgetting 202/A , 203/A , 218/A please - that's just the handwounds!!! The list could go on and on FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Ditto - oh and A /B series OP6500 / OP6502 - proper 22 and 26 casebacks , PAM 40 , PAM 61 , not forgetting 202/A , 203/A , 218/A please - that's just the handwounds!!! The list could go on and on FGD With your range of dials, Simon, and the gen dials that have been popping up lately, together with the SS / PVD / Ti versions of most dial variations the list is indeed endless. I would certainly pay a premium for individually numbered casebacks for preA1, 9B, 10D etc and I am sure that I am not alone in this. Anyone who has built a gen-dial franken or a top quality rep around one of your exceptional dials would almost certainly feel the same. A bespoke caseback with correct numbering would raise these watches to the top level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olreon Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 hello, that is nice to see, but are these blanc casebacks that he uses thick ones or are they the slim ones from davidsen? thanks, olreon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I believe they are the standard thin casebacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
