PAM 1 , 111-E ,005-G , 112-E

[fishgodeep]

Messing about with the camera again and just wanted to show these in a bit more detail

001 Pre A ??..J-Fu/ETA/DSN homage if you like ...but Ziggy has done the work on a DSN dial and it's killer IMHO....on PAV 91 OEM Logo

111- E - ETA/J-Fu set on GEF 24 /22 Waterproof Crocodile and tang ...had the lume done a while ago (not Ziggy) and it's a bit off colour IMHO

005 -G - CN-6497 Been messing about with CG on this one - Ziggy has done a truly amazing job on this dial - on MP Senape

112-H - All my own work..!!! Needs to go to Ziggy for dial font touch up and re-lume - but it's good for now ...DSN dial shrunk to fit std rep case , 2.0mm PALP crown , Sapphire and Ultimate CN 6497-1...I hope these movements are as good as they look ?

The strap on this one deserves a special mention ....220 year old russian reindeer that spent some time with the fishes .....and then in the hands of Strap Master V....it's unique - 24/24 - 150/80 with OEM Logo Buckle - you can actually smell the history and heritage and the craftsmanship of the maker is clear for all to see....think it's one of V's best ever straps !!!!!

Thanks and apologies as my arch enemy "dust" has struck again in a lot of these photos....

Simon's Metta is very different than mine... His has a very smooth defined diamond pattern characteristic of the Metta hide.

I already got a Metta with clear diamond pattern (my HKTAN Metta) so my new strap has a more vintage look with very different patterns and colours on it. Not very distinctive a Metta strap until you smell it

Here are some more clear photos of his strap

and here is mine to see how different two straps from this amazing hide can be:

Very nice collection! No mention of the crown on the 005, is it a palp as well?

Tremendous. Maybe a bit too much of the same general watch, but each one is super. I prefer the Pam 1 over the others. Any time you can get a quality rep with a closed caseback you've got a leg up on the rest. The tritium lume on the 1 looks super.

Wow, great Collection!

Tremendous. Maybe a bit too much of the same general watch, but each one is super.

Too much? Then what it is if you add those too?

Thanks for your comments guys ....they are a "labour of love" without doubt

Estaban - "Too Much" .....what are you trying to say......?

That I have a compulsive disorder to make similar watches in pursuit of something so close to gen that I'm satisfied...oh and then get bored and move on to another similar piece ......Hmmm....could be right :-)

I think the only way to stop this "addiction" is buy a gen .....but does that mean I'll have a gen "habit" then ???

And what about the modding ......Ziggy will become bored and maybe start putting tiny ships into bottles or something!!!

Cheers

FGD-

Those pieces are looking really good. I expect no less. By the way, just got your gift and I know exactly where to use it. Thanks again. And on Ziggy and putting ships in bottles I suspect that other members could find a way to utilize his time. :laugh:
