dluddy Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Fresh back from final assembly up north. This was an iOffer 2892/Soprod PR based 028 (Thanks for the tip FGD) that was the perfect base to work with. Mods done include: PVD Finish - Leached, Bead blasted, and re-PVD'd (DLC) (Thanks Rolli) Ziggy Vintage Lumed Dial and hands Genuine PVD crown from Turkey Ziggy fabricated Crown tube - crown now springs open as genuine Custom fabricated cyclops (Thanks Marco) ETA 2892 with Soprod PR module (Same as genuine) Lello Datewheel (almost - needs to be replaced as it had an issue) Metta Catharina Strap with A series PVD Thumbnail Buckle (Russian Reindeer hide from 1786) Another RWG Group Effort and he results are stunning - Probably one of the nicest PAM's in the collection Special thanks to Ziggy, Kruzer, FGD, Marco, Rolli, Lello
Genebe Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 wow... stunning! It's a shame that you couldn't have delayed the project until you could afford a NEW reindeer hide strap!
dadog13 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 there is so much love invested in this one that I am left speechless...amazing piece! The Zigmeister sure knows how to do his job and you sure know how to pick a great watch to be supermodded...one of the best reps that will ever be made!
Dani Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Nice one,I have almost same The strap is wow. To bad whit the lello dw,mine is also not working. Cheers, Dani
rolli Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 hey..D.... looks really great........ it's a big pleasure to see the final result. a super piece... enjoy.. rolli
CHRONOZEN Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 very nice combo pvd + brown strap = A1
fishgodeep Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 That whole combo looks superb Dluddy .... Rolli's PVD is excellent IMHO and the whole watch is just brought to new levels with RG's aged tritium lume and the improved SSS cyclops ...just one step away now! An Iconic "neo-vintage" and all time favorite PAM for me. I just got mine back as well and it hasn't left the wrist since!! Congratulations and enjoy !! FGD
l3x Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Beautiful. PVD goes very nicely with that strap color.
projectologist Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 Yeeeoooowww... still waiting on mine. Yours' is a stunner. Congratulations!

Pre V Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Very nice timepiece....simply love it. Kind of regretted selling mine off.... Got to love the wrinkled Metta hide...
jamesb Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Nice PVD, if the indices r not that shiny, its hard to notice that its a rep.
