cc Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hello RWG, I have finished quite a few project during my time here and would like to share one of them today. I would like to first off, thank all the guys who have helped me with this...in no specific order: cMike, Avitt, the Master, Jaykeem, Angus, and Panerai. A few months ago, i was offered DLC/ADLC service by RWG member and friend Avitt. It would then be his first project with his first client. Pictures cannot capture how good the pencil lead finish looks in person. Compared to a couple gens i have seen, Avitt's coating and bead blasting are identical to gen A-B series Pams. Here are some pictures with some of my straps... Enjoy!!

HauteHippie Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Whoa! I'd thought that the DLC process was "too" black for PAMs but without question, avitt nailed the Pam PVD look ! ! ! AWESOME results!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmg Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Very nice, the graphite tone looks dead on. I think a 202A project is calling my name. One question S; was this a SS or PVD case you started with? Congrats S. wear it well and kudos Avitt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Looks fantastic, CC! (I may actually have to build one of these for myself..) Many thanks for placing your confidence in me, and being the first "customer". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Very nice, the graphite tone looks dead on. I think a 202A project is calling my name. One question S; was this a SS or PVD case you started with? Congrats S. wear it well and kudos Avitt! The case was originally stainless steel. Avitt beadblasts the case before it heads to get DLC'd. The type of beadblasting partially determines the final hue of the finish. I actually have a couple more commissioned by Avitt......more to be posted soon Looks fantastic, CC! (I may actually have to build one of these for myself..) Many thanks for placing your confidence in me, and being the first "customer". this is the second one you have seen i would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for DLC servicing. It wouldnt have been possible to build this without you as i was never 100% confident in other's PVD colors. thanks again. cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Awesome! I especially like the olive strap combo. Do we have any clue on which PAM models were DLC and which were PVD those days? E.g., I was beginning to think that the 028 was PVD on the A series and DLC on the B series...

V Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Awesome! I especially like the olive strap combo. Do we have any clue on which PAM models were DLC and which were PVD those days? E.g., I was beginning to think that the 028 was PVD on the A series and DLC on the B series... Only the 195 was DLC.. all the others were PVD. Forgot to add.. AMAZING watch and strap choices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Comparing (to my memory) a couple Gen Pams and tons of pictures, the Pre-A's have very course beadblasting whereas A-B Pams have finer beadblasting. Then again, the sheen also varies from watch to watch depending on production times. here's a recent Pam 111E sold.....pretty close in overall accuracy imo but his PVD coating is too dark.

ubiquitous Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 R, that 004 looks awesome!! I like yours better! Great color... Great finish! Looks like a definite keeper to me! BTW... Maybe it's the angle of the pic, or perhaps just my eyes- Your case looks like it may be the Pre-V case? Thicker case band and shorter lugs? If so... VERY nice!

old skool Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Looks awesome. I love that finish. The Savage olive green looks more of a grey brown on my monitor but it looks awesome! Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
