burnz Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 don't know what got over me recently, but i went on a bit of a watchbox-clearing spree and let go of a number of my rep PAMs to new homes. 201a, 202a, 002, 232, 010, 114, 199, 063... out the door! but there was this one particular PAM which i couldn't bear to part with, and it's my PreA 009. there's been a fair amount of work and effort put into it, so it's probably safe to say that this bad boy is a keeper. - DSN case wth original PVD coating stripped, and redone at a factory that claims to be the coating service provider for Officine Panerai - nicely aged PVD coating that's starting to wear along the edges. pretty gen-like i must say - FGD 002/009 dial, with a matte coating applied - AR removed from crystal - T48 PVD crown - CP flush and polished - flush CG pin with PVD coating removed to show the steel finish underneath (this wear seems to be common amongst 009 gen pics i've seen) only 1 more thing left to do, and that's to install FGD's set of PreA/PreV hands... anyway, time to stop blabbering and show some pics!
coolfire Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Sweet PVD PAM-porn! Saw this in person just over the weekend, and WOW!
w0lf Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Looks the business! Why did you sell all the other ones, I admired your base collection many times...Someone will be very lucky to have them.
Eton Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Quite the watch B!!! Wow, where was I when those were for sale, love the base collection as well!
burnz Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Posted July 13, 2010 Looks the business! Why did you sell all the other ones, I admired your base collection many times...Someone will be very lucky to have them. frankly, i don't even know myself! started with the sale of one to a friend who has been bugging me for it. that seem to have triggered a chain reaction and before i know, they were all gone! didn't help that i splurged on a number of PAM and IWC gens in the past few months, and those have been hogging some major wrist-time. anyway, i doubt it'd be long before my watchbox starts to fill up with other PAMs again.. already have my next project lined up

burnz Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Posted July 25, 2010 minor update.. new FGD hands have just gone into the 009, so i suppose it's more or less complete now (unless a EL or gen PVD CG comes up for sale
JCYL Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 is the CG currently on your 009 from DSN? i have a DSN 002, about to undergo some major surgery.
tanya Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Love it and I see another fan like me of the non coated slightly recessed pin!
