Panny162 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just received these Pre-V hands, do they look OK for a Pre-V build? Look spot on to me. 2 sets also. Plan on doing 2 watches? I'll take one!! Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianton Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Here are some better pics from both sides: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadToucha Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm not an expert but i have some doubts regarding the 2 last pics. I thought they were wider and the lume was going further toward the tip on Pre-V hands. But Let a pam expert confirm this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mir36 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Check this link for the correct handset for PreV: There's an interesting story of how the board came to a collective realization that this had to be fixed. If I recall correctly, someone posted their 202a or 203a. Someone commented the hands were incorrect. Siesta then posted his, which had the correct hands modded by Spinmaster for the PreV look. People realized there was a difference. Fishgodeep went on a warpath to get the correct hands made. FGD still has some PreV hands left as recently as last month. The alternative is Helenarou. I love this place. Edited January 26, 2011 by mir36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianton Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Olreon accepted to return the hands set and will refund fully my payment as soon as he receives them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yes, not Pre-V hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 FGD Pre-V/A style hands: Note how far the lume strip extends into the tip of the hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eton Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yup, the guys are correct, the lume should extend into the tip and the lume is also wider than normal hands. Ubi's pictures capture this exactly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evis Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) FGD Pre-V/A style hands: Note how far the lume strip extends into the tip of the hand... those indices on that dial looks very nice. really like the depth of it may i ask who did that lume, if its lumed at all. Thanks! Edited January 27, 2011 by evis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btocamelo Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Remember....before FGD and Helenarou put out their Pre-V hand sets.....DSN was selling what he called "Pre-V" hands....which is probably the hand sets that is pictured about.....so I don't think the original seller was disingenuous about selling them as Pre-V. I had order a Pre-V set from DSN last year and that's what I received......with FGD and Helenarou editions now DSN's can be argued as not Pre-V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bong Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 May I ask where to buy those FGD Pre-V/A style hands ? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Olreon accepted to return the hands set and will refund fully my payment as soon as he receives them. No surprise. Olreon is one of the original honorable members and I have many good transactions with him. I do have to say that parts a continuing problem. Many have changed hands numerous times to the point that someone along the line was told that something is a specific part and has no reason to doubt it. The best example is the legendary Fu cases. For everyone made there have been three sold because that is what the last guy told them. As long as we are on Pre-v handsets, I am contemplating putting together a Pre-A and was wondering whether they had Pre-V or contemporary handsets? Anyone?

dluddy Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Pre-A had the Pre-V handsets W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unregistered Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Pre-A had the Pre-V handsets W Some Pre-A were slightly different to the Pre-V from the few pictures I've collected. They were as wide as the Pre-V but the lume strip did not extend as far into the tip triangle as the Pre-Vs. That said, quite a number had standard Pre-V hands like this one (http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d102/tmac65/PreA2%20Set/DSC_0020.jpg) Interesting to note, on the M series of new PAMs, quite a number are coming with Pre-V handsets.

4000ft Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Interesting to note, on the M series of new PAMs, quite a number are coming with Pre-V handsets. Every 000/005 M i've seen on the bay has them, and a few K and L's too but maybe they got them at the service center Edited February 2, 2011 by 4000ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
