Pre-A 4 - how things have changed....

I was probably one of the first to purchase the first gen DSN pvd 009 when it came out a couple of years ago, and one of the first who experimented with cape cod on the case and filling in the indices cut out. sold that bugger a long time ago and regretted it. here're some old photos, some of the older members might find them familiar:

and a 004 i had ~5 years ago.

i drifted away from the rep scene after 2008/9 due to university commitments and only just got back to the rep pam community in the last year or so and MY GOSH it has changed so much! high quality parts are abundant and modders are churning out very convincing frankens. i bought one of the new generation DSN "pencil lead" DLC and it was unbelievable!

however, i was intrigued by the FGD dials and PVD/DLC services offered by members here. i've thought of getting the parts myself and putting one together like how i would a couple of years ago but something popped up on the sales forum and i jumped on it. It has a FGD dial, rolli PVD, etc. exactly what i wanted. money paid and i received the watch yesterday. words will not be able to describe how perfect the watch is. here're some macro shots of the dial, it is truly amazing!

a very big thank you to 5th_group for the watch! transaction went perfectly. the mods on the case is amazing and very very convincing. I'll be looking out for more watches from 5th cause i'm sure they'll be stunning!

more photos of the pre-a 4 will follow once i get my hands on some parts. ;) in the meantime, please share your experiences and post photos of your pvd/dlc watches~! :)

Sweet macros! :tu:

Honestly, I think the old school DSN PVD case set was the best for PreA, especially after the cape cod treatment. He eventually ran out of stock and started using his PreV fat lugs with single-sided screws, then now the new-born case-sets.

@azgjag ....Whats the bobby on those bridge plates mate?

Have had a few projects building the modded and franken PVD models in the past... T-S-Ts and TST and B Series LSL's.... always preferred Zigs source on the PVD or possibly Rollie's depending on model and series... as there were a lot of variations in tone and vickers with the gens..
