PAM202a....the destination to Perfection.....

If you LOVE PAMS, and who doesn't (you know who you are!); and you LOVE the PVD models, you gotta have the PAM202a! My LOVE and quest started when I saw Martin Wilmsen's Blog and Pictorials

here, I mean after looking at these pictures he took of the originals, who wouldn't fall in-love with this baby:

So, that's how my quest started....

- got the dial from a Member here

- got the PVD case (good, but old) from another Member

- PM'ed Spin for the caseback and the first set of hands (luckily, he's got them)

- got the Swiss6497 from DSN

The following are pictures of the stages of of builds that it went thru.....

Parts being assembled:

1st completed build, wrong hands and without H3 Cannon Pin upgrade:

2nd mod, tried another pair of hands....still wrong:

3rd mod, upgraded the Cannon Pin to H3, but still wrong hands (driving me crazy!)

I finally got introduced to someone who could make me the right pair of 202a hands, and

God Bless his talented hands, he made the right one. I also decided to have him build me a

new PVD case and now, here's the final..........

TADA, Perfection.....Panerai 202a....can't get any better than this:

Correct hands setting on a tall H3 Cannon Pin:

More thanks to you guys! Which I did by the way before the crash! I guess I lost that!

Who's the artisan that did the hands on this beauty? Or is it a closely guarded secret?

Yup! PM me if you need them!
