Looks great. Where did you get it? Who's is it?

We need to get a GB going on correct Pre-V cases to go with these amazing dials! :huh:

maybe Rolli can?He is the master of special panerai's.

then we can also do a limited run of gold 201/a :o

What do you guys think of this case.... it has the T crown and V CG on it at the moment... notice the double screws...my set of dials is on its way so it's just a matter of deciding between then 201 and 202...

in this photo it shows that it has that 'strap curve' where the strap meets the case that the pre-vs didnt have...

I'd agree with Kye - although watch out if you intend to use Pre-V double screws, the screw diameter looks larger than the top one (Pre-V = 1.6mm), so it may not look as good if you go down that route! Nice short / square lugs though, where's it from?

Thanks Kye and Rmc, I thought you might say that.

RMC, Dude your eyes are good.

I've just checked out the screws and you are right, they are too small for the middle case. I don't think they would fall out but I'm not sure I want to drill the other side just incase, I stuff it up, so I will use the bottom case me thinks.

Has anyone used the 1.6mm Pre V's in a 1.8mm hole? Are they safe in there?

I got it in a bum deal from iOffer, original thread here Blue SlyTech I would not go near that dealer, trust me he's a dog.

Thanks again

I just received this exact case.... it's actually not tooo bad for $40.

Its probably not correct for a Pre-V since it does have the notch for the strap, but it'll be good for other models.

I finally got a DSN dial to fit without having to trim/shave the dial.

Overall the case looks good, only draw back is that it has a glass crystal.

CG looks nice and polished, and the crown looks to be a copy of DSNs crowns (looks real close) and its SPRING LOADED!!

The caseback is unbranded... not as well made as the JimmyzFu casebacks though.

Can't see enough from the photos but doesn't look to have a strap slope and lugs appear shorter

For the price maybe worth a punt ....surely can't be that bad for $40!!

Would you mind posting a photo from the side of the case, showing the lug shape / size and case curvature? The strap notch isn't a big deal, nobody would notice it on your wrist.

Ross it doesnt look like a pre-v case to me even from this angle.

I bought this case off a fellow Repgeek member and we both think it looks pretty good.

Came from an ioffer seller and is going to be the one that I'm going to use...Not perfect of course but passable.

Opinions on this one.??

Looks good ;)
