Bazz Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 This one has been a little while in the making. It started out as a first gen 111 from EL, since then the case and buckle was sent to palp for a pvd coating, I replaced the canon pinion and hour wheel to the longer ones, I changed the dial to a Davidsen one and added a solid case back from Josh. I have a bigger pvd crown on order from palp and that will of course be changed once it arrives. I will try and take some better pics when I have time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Some better pics, I am pretty happy with the way its turned out. At some stage though I may change the dial to 112h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swdivad Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Beautiful watch Bazz I've fallen in love with the PVDs, got a 195a little while back from Davidsen and just a few minutes ago ordered a PAM 026.. An OEM PreV cognac strap with PVD buckle is in the mail as well :-) Wear it well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarks Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 This is gorgeous. PVD looks awesome. I love them but somehow I feel that they dont look good on my wrist. The finish on this one is sleek. Wear it well!! I might just go ahead and get one done. swdivad: Cant wait to see yours as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikellem Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 This is gorgeous. PVD looks awesome. I love them but somehow I feel that they dont look good on my wrist. I have a Davidsen 195 in pvd of course, and I think the watch looks great on the wrist! Just another opinion thats all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarks Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 mikellem: I respect your opinion. I actually had a 5218-202A ordered from davidsen, had it on my wrist and just didnt seem right to me. Could be the finish, I reckon it is too dark, almost black. I know PVD has different type of finishes based on the material they use and the outcome also depended on whether the case is beadblasted. Well, I wasnt too keen on the one I had. My bro loved it so I passed it on to him. Nevertheless a great looking watch but not when it is on my wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazz Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks fellas I think the strap and dial match up pretty well, but I may still put in a superlumed 111h or 112h dial not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
