DSN's 009 case pix - definitely gray...

Recommended Posts

Just received the new 009 pvd case from Davidsen...amazing pvd coating - definitely gray...almost a dark pewter color...

i shot some quick pix (with my Droid) of the case against my black dell laptop - in a well lit, natural light office with florescent lighting overhead...gives you a pretty good idea of the color...

the case, crown, crown guard are top shelf...(and yes - i know that i need to tap the cg pin in!)

enjoy...R

Thanks for taking the time and sharing mate :thumbsupsmileyanim:

The finish is certainly a decent one and will be suitable for the few PVD PAMs that are pencil grey :)

thanks, my friend...which pvd PAMs are pencil grey?...

i'm doing a build with a nice older sausage dial that Z superlumed...not sure it will be accurate, but it should look good... :drinks:

Basically and without going back to my reference info... my memory aint what it was !!

The PreVs ie 203a and 202a are pencil grey though the early issue 202a's were done by a different source and can be pretty different now to how they looked then... with age it would be more gun metal grey..

As a rule of thumb ... all 6500 and first edition 6502 cases are pencil grey as these were produced by pre vendome suppliers and produced at the same time as the 5218-209 and 5218-210 by the same sub contractors ie the Cartier style..single bar end screw, longer thinner lugs, thin CG etc etc... with the second 6502 cases and after Vendome changed suppliers to cut costs these produced darker and thinner (poorer) PVD finishes.. this was changed again... as I recall for 6518 cases or certainly B series which remained darker but not as poor quality..

So basically if you want a PreA then its pencil... A series on is darker... Similar rule to the way the dial and markers changed in terms of fill, thickness and varnishing..

Though throw in the odd OP ambiguities with that... :) such as the 009A (Pencil Grey) and PreA 004 (Dark Black) or 026A (shiny dark)

I got DSN´s new PAM009 PreA...a wonderfully grey colored case.

I just need to wear the watch more to get some scratches on it (makes it more authentic).

This color can also be used (nearly) 1:1 for the PAM360 LE.

hackR: could you please post a profile shot of the CG? Did DSN send you the correct flat top version? I noticed in DSN's section the CG for the PreA 004 seemed correct (flat top) while the CG on the PreA 009 seemed to have a thicker CG top. Thanks.
