LeGambleur Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Great photos. The yellow dial looks far better with PVD case than ss in my opinion and the strap/yellow dial combo is sweet. I like it!

I like it! hi, the original gen 210A is a pvd pre vendome pam. not with steel case. panerai have built only two pieces, not more. thats why the gen 210A are really exorbitant expensive. assumed you can purchase one. cheers rolli
Lyndonville Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) That's sweet, dude.... Edited March 7, 2007 by 28277
Wolf Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Amazing watch you put together! WOW! That certainly is the rare of the rare in the gen world as well as the rep world!! Great pictures as always too!
V Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Rolli I would dissapoint you in this.. It is an ugly genuine and you made a very good rep of it.. but to my eyes it is still ugly with this orange dial

madasboot Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Its an amazing rep and the return of the denim shirt! Congratulations Rolli! Wonderful work.
Lyndonville Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 hi V, really, thats an amazing watch, look again, the dial is dark yellow. cheers rolli Looks great to me. I'd be a buyer if it were out there. Tim
rolli Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 Looks great to me. I'd be a buyer if it were out there. Tim hi, you can buy it from davidsen. i've bought from him only the dial, hands and caseback. i would my own pvd case and a gen unitas movement. cheers rolli
panerai-ss Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 hi, you can buy it from davidsen. i've bought from him only the dial, hands and caseback. i would my own pvd case and a gen unitas movement. cheers rolli I think Rolli is by far the best and the master of PVD so far. He really works with PVD maker on this. I wish I could have PVD maker like this locally. Maybe will need your help someday, Rolli. It is much better than original davidsen offer. I would like davidsen to work more on PVD. I think your is maybe not quite a PVD, maybe it is DLC, dimond like coating. That is why the surface look exactly gen because it is the same process as gen. Cannot be better. Great watch.

Great watch. hi, i have made a lot of tests before i've got the ratio mixture ceramic / corundum for the bead-blasting and the real pvd color. it is not so cpmplicated. cheers rolli
mossanti Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 oh my god..i wishh ..i can send you my case to you to do the PVD like yours...dammit its soo nice..
steve92b Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) I've seen this model on the davidsen site & didn't like it but somehow your watch works. Nice one. Edited March 6, 2007 by steve92b
Pam-O-licious Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 Its an amazing rep and the return of the denim shirt! Congratulations Rolli! Wonderful work. That's what I was going to say..lol Great work on the watch!!
psuedo-enzo- Posted March 9, 2007 Report Posted March 9, 2007 Having this dial commissioned in early 2006 for my own use, DSN asked recently to release more beyond the orignal run of 2 dials; which I originally owned. At that point it seemed a good idea to see more of these interesting watches. Not everyone likes the dial, but I particularly do for the same reasons people hate it. Good to see more of these evolving. I originally matched my own case look to the PAV GEN buckle strap texture and shade. The GEN used a 5218/210a caseback, but was in fact a prototype and never made for public sale.

rolli Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 to produce it top accurate, already on the pre vendome dial list, more in the end when all other are ready. rolli Rolli, that DSN dial looks pretty damn accurate. What is your take on it?
jalber Posted August 22, 2023 Report Posted August 22, 2023 I happen to inherit one of these 5218-210 with the other numbers 006 on the back. Would love to learn more about it which I have from this page but what does a watch like the pictures of the orange dial go for? I don’t have the original box and keep it safe in a case.
