Modded Panerai Pre Vendom 5218-207A

I've been away for school and been off the boards for a while. I'm about to take my first licensing exams and getting ready for clinical rotations. I'm suppose to be studying, but I'm taking a break and just got back to looking at the forum. I may make a purchase...lol...its been a while...not sure how much have changed...

I don't have my proper photo tent so just took some quick and dirty shots of this watch. Its definitely been one of my favorites. Sorry for the poor pics and smudges and such. The dial/hands were vaclumed....

If I wanted to be more authentic I should of done a tritium aged look, but opted for the bright vaclume because of ease of getting it done. The CG is sort of old school....if you've been around the past couple years...you'd know it as a 'V' CG...Tight lever...the whole watch feels high quality....I've had a lot of modded PAMs but this one became my favorite.

It needs a better crown, but I was in a rush to build it and used a crown that would involve the least issues with the tube as well as I didn't want to grind down the 'V' CG because at the time I was considering using it on another watch and didn't want to commit the V CG to this particular watch. I've just worn it like this since. I still love it.

When I get home from school and have some time, I'll do a review with comparison of the real deal.

I still need to finish my ETA 063 as well as my ETA 196...

I intermingled some gen pics for fun....the last 3 pics...

Some scratches for authenticity....Not bad for a $35K watch :)

Hi O.

Its good to see some other old timers as well...I know I either sold you something or bought something from you...Your avatar is too recognizable...

What? Heresy sticks out in your mind? Unpossible.

It certainly is nice to see some old hands about... I've been out for a few years myself, just wandered back in a few weeks back... I find it still is a comfortable place to be.

My Slytech is the /218A I believe... PVD Slytech from DSN, gotta dig a photo of that old warhorse up, it's showing many battle scars these days... Truly a vintage piece now..
