[dadog13]

BTW...which model/project you have decided to go for?

I have all the 3 dials and still haven't decided which one to start first...somehow I think that my first project will be to do a PVD PAM cause I still do not own one...so it will be or the 5218-202/A or the preA/009...

this is the pic of the lugs of the PreV 201/A - to have a better feeling how's the lug form on the PreV PAMs :

My vote is for the 009!

i think most are looking for older cases or jimmyfu case.

I've been looking for a JF case forever...should have grabbed several back in the day when we all had a chance. Right now, I'm trying to figure out who/what case sets to grab for these dials...

we are in the same boat...we should ask jimmy to do a run of these for us?!

I am thinking the same as you... I have decided 3 projects are too much for me so off it goes the 201/A dial. Plus there are so many 201/A logo rep watches out there..

I want a PVD as well.. I have the parts to do the pre-a 9 but honestly i do not want to PVD my original A series crown guard. I also have a perfect case so it is easier for me... BUT

...if a nice Pre-V case appears i will choose the 202/A

All of us are wondering where to get a Pre-V case - either PVD or not. If anyone decides what do to - please post your opinion and where you plan to go for it. I personally am working on the 201A and 009 first. Is a Jimmy case the right case for an 201A? I thought that it was for an 001B - are they the same?

jimmy case is wrong for a pre-v (201-202 dials)

Cool - thanks. That is what I thought.

Maybe DSN could do a run of cases for the group.

What does everyone think?
