Guest porsche356a Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Well, A few weeks ago, a very nice member (you know who you are) sent me a package with this dial, I then took a JF case, a DSN Xtal sans AR, a Palp Crown, a nice CG (which still needs work), and an ETA 6497, and this is what I ended up with. I also had an old 201a caseback from EL to boot, but since im not too versed on PAMs as some of our esteemed members, please tell me whats wrong with this. Thanks in advance. Here she is on a GeF Homage Strap Heres a few dial close ups and some more......... All comments are welcomed
LordRasta Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 A member gave you the dial? What a nice gesture and you've built a very nice watch around it.
peepshow Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 The color of the filled indices is really nice. If only DSN would put a little more time/effort into getting those 6s and 9s a *little* bit better, I'd order 3 dials today.... Looks good, Porsche. You REALLY need a V CG to finish it off, though.
robertb Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Looks very nice, what CG do you have on it?
V Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Decent watch but mostly a waste of a Jimmy FU case.. It is not good for the 201/A.
peepshow Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Good point, V. I missed the bit about using a Fu case. The "standard" rep Luminor case with its stubby lugs is a better case to use for the Pre-V watches. Save that Fu case for a really nice 001B rep or similar.
Guest porsche356a Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Decent watch but mostly a waste of a Jimmy FU case.. It is not good for the 201/A. Here we go. I need more criticism like this. I want it to be a good copy, so please keep it coming.
V Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 Here we go. I need more criticism like this. I want it to be a good copy, so please keep it coming. Well.. it would be nice to put a nice PreV cg because this one is thin and with a dreadful pin.. also it would be nice to put a tourby crown... Dial is decent. not the best but no other dial is perfect anyway

mjmurphy926 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 To do list ...... case................... t.Crown............... V CG.................. No...You can't have your V CG back BTW - That's the one you sold me in my avi pic. Now I'll have to reshoot that pic when I get my t-crown.

Now I'll have to reshoot that pic when I get my t-crown. LOL! How was I to know I was going to get this Dial. But now the hunt begins. Yours is looking amazing, btw.
elisiX Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Some great suggestions so far and the most important being regarding the Fu case. I have just this week received a 001B with Fu case, Palp crown and modded by The Zigmeister (which came from FGD) and also a 201/A with DSN best dial (correct indices), V CG and Palp crown. I'll be taking a bunch of shots this weekend and lll pop them up for your reference (and to show off a little). You are on your way to having 2 of the most incredible PAM's.
