redwatch Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Just finished up another build today. This one's been sitting in my parts bin for quite a while now. Quite like the Slytech PAM's but I don't really fancy the PVD ones so I went for a 205a. Of course this required a very special case. When I saw w0lf was making some modified 111 cases into PreV cases, I jumped on the chance to order one. I must admit that his work is impeccable!! I have yet to see such a great looking case set!! Dial is from Martyd3. Caseback is of course a Jakob case back. Nice and thick with excellent engravings! CG is a V CG modified by the Zigmeister. Hands are FGD PreV hands with the lighter colored, non matching lume. Hope you enjoy! First strap in the pics is the Frogman PAV 99. Last set of pics is a Strapworks black calf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 wow that looks amazing! You're on the I hate you list too now. I forgot you were working on this! very nice build! Epic build Red. Nicely done and thanks for sharing Thanks everyone! One thing I would like to change however is the cannon pinion. I've been scouring the internet looking at pics of the gen one, and the cannon pinion is flat on the gen. Is that a mod, or can I purchase a flattened cannon pinion? Any suggestions would be super helpful! Also, anyone know what strap this is on the gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Not sure on the CP but you should be able to have it filed flat and repolished. Strap is likely a PAV98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. No gen strap then for me I'll have to find a suitable aftermarket one. I quite like the look of that strap though. It looks well worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbutlerman Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I really gotta get me one of those! Weren't you using a Tamron at one point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I really gotta get me one of those! Weren't you using a Tamron at one point? Yeah I sold it a while back to fund the Nikon. It is vastly superior to the Tamron in every single way. It is an outstanding lens!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarface Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Great build , only the CG lever needs a little fiddling imo Sent from my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Project Update. Just got this back from Ziggy. New FGD dial, full service and relume. Also did a re-work on the V-CG to make it snap like the gen. Before it was way too tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
