ubiquitous Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 im requesting a wristpics of his 112 on ola.. the reason is i want to get my gf either a 111 or 112 but i dunno how a 44mm would look on her.. i really wanna see a pam on a girl.. but watever Well, it's not Maciek's girl, and it's not a 111/112, but here is my wife modelling an FGD dial'd Pre-A 009: I like the 44mm on a feminine wrist, but a proper fitting strap is essential for the combo to work well. In my case, the missus could use another hole punched to allow the strap to fit tighter, however she has no interest in wearing a PAM, so no concerns there I suppose...

arminvanbuuren Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 cant seriously stop going back to this thread.. ubi.. what kind of casing did u use for the pre-a 009? sorry to hijack but im kinda in the same project but mine is more of a 202/a.. does this case look good for the pre-v style?? i got my own sapphire, cg and crown and dial and so on n so on.. i just needed a case.. what do u think? http://www.siswatch727.com/showroom/model/...293017578009150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 armin- This case is kind of a temporary fix- I'd prefer to be using my JimmyFzu case, as that's the project that this dial/movement combo was intended for: However, the CG on that one broke, and so that one's out of commission until I can find a decent CG worth using to replace. The PVD case that I'm using for the time being is an old school DSN case, which I've spent time polishing out with a cape cod to give it a very dulled and worn look. @coolfire- Thanks for the kind words, buddy My wife is typically a girl who likes to keep a low profile, but her weakness has always been diamonds and platinum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hmmmm... Based on the pics in that link, the set looks like one sold by 'Alpha Time' or something to that effect from the Bay. I picked one up sometime ago, and it's not awesome That said, I'd pass. There are better case sets out there, in my opinion... As for my case... It was a generous gesture from a good friend and fellow RWG'er. No Jimmy CG, however. I'm searching for a good replacement, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hmmm... Can't help much there. The Pre-V case is rather elusive. With the thicker, shorter lugs and the squared corners... That's gonna be tough to find. I know helenarou used to have such a case... But it seems that finding one these days is no easy task. DSN has some cases that would fit the bill, I think? Maybe? When you find one, let me know too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 In my case, the missus could use another hole punched Strange ...I've often thought the same way about my wife Seriously ....nice wrist candy !!! Cheers FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you find one, let me know too! unfortunately dsn's cases will not fit with the cg.. i've tried.. so thats not an option.. i know helenarou used to have these shorter lugged and squared corners cases.. thats y i was asking u whether or not siswatch727's case is good.. its because ive read somewhere before that these guys are the equivalent of helenarou.. from the pics.. i can tell that siswatch727's case has thicker and shorter lugs.. not sure about the squared corner tho.. i have to see it from the side.. but im gonna get it sometimes next week anyway.. so hopefully fingers crossed it'll be a good pre-v case.. ill post pics when itshere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be very interested to see this one in better detail... will do man.. but i got a bad feeling about it.. well anyway if you can find a source in the mean time.. letmme know as well.. coz hell i really need stupid case for my pre-v.. but i dont want standard rep case if i was gonna dlc it.. i need something close to the pre-v shape.. id rather wait! i dunno whether im getting too excited or what.. that my eyes are playing tricks on me.. but does this look ok? like to me the lugs doesn't look like normal rep lugs.. but then again i might be bias.. coz i wanna believe to myself that it's correct Edited May 20, 2009 by arminvanbuuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth it well ubi here it is.. i actually got it today.. i dunno what ur opinion is on them but.. it is pretty much a davidsen to me.. i just compared it to a dsn case.. it's pretty similar in nature and shape.. do you think it's worth of using this case for a pre-v? or should i hunt for a better one?? i got all the perfect parts.. i just need a pre-v case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
