Watchmeister Posted June 13, 2010 Report Posted June 13, 2010 Here is part II of my PVD Frankens - 28A: Once again Ziggy has outdone himself. Huge thanks to the members who have helped me accumulate all the parts over the last 3 years. Specs - Gen (case, crown, crown guard, dial, hands and crystal (from the new 28L)), original Honpo decorated movement with random datewheel I picked up years ago, and once again vintaged OEM PVD. The Pics: And on the strap (although it is inaccurate) I have an original old PAV 90 (or 99?) awaiting this one.
w0lf Posted June 13, 2010 Report Posted June 13, 2010 How do you do this, W? This is unreal, I think this is the 1st ever PAM 28A franken with so many gen parts. Congrats it turned out...gen
panerainuts Posted June 13, 2010 Report Posted June 13, 2010 Wow those two pieces are superb Congrats Nutz
Watchmeister Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Posted June 13, 2010 Yeah, even I am amazed. But it also took 3 years of collecting parts. I seem to have good luck with the parts but what really inspired me to finally put these together was Rob's work on the PVD. Having played with a number of gens and bearing in mind that no two are exactly alike I can say that the PVD with his touches is perfect.

You are wearing a watch that looks damn good and I suspect you have a couple grand more than I do still sitting in your pocket. For better or worse this one was more a labor of love than common sense dollars and cents.
HauteHippie Posted June 13, 2010 Report Posted June 13, 2010 We're not worthy, W... We're not worthy!! Very beautiful piece. Wear that one well!

Congratulations my friend! Well it certainly was a long time coming on my end. When I came upon the crystal from another generous forum member I knew this one had to plow ahead. Ziggy was great about it and immediately put it together for me. You actually started this 28A franken concept with that gen case you picked up back in the day.

kye_lin Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 Nice one Warren!! Love the PVD PAMs!! Best of the best!!
ubiquitous Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 Amazing and unreal is understating this one! I somehow doubt you will ever tire of this one, but if you do... We may need to work something out
z3k0 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 Wooow ... don't know what to say, you might as well call this gen w/o caseback and paperwork, it would be much shorter and pretty accurate description. Beautiful W, please post some pics when you put it on PAV :wub:
Dani Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 woow.................. Love it, details are amazing. Cheers, D
