Finally my 009 from M has arrived! :cheesy: Canada post took real long, but M was standup through it all and great comms.

Its really quite an interesting piece. Was taken aback by the PVD when I first saw it. Ain't black black like what I've known PVD to be. A real gunmetal grey shade to it.

Then changing the angle of the lightsource

Compare the difference in color to the PVD buckle on the gringo Pre-V

This piece is going to get a relume by Goin, tall canon pin and of course, the WC custom Jakobh caseback!

More pics of Gringo's cognac Pre-V with sewn in flat PVD buckle. I love the buckle, sharp corners, very matte beautiful PVD. Strap is even better. I've fallen in love with Gringo's straps

Gringos straps are where they are at!!

Very nice looking. In the process of building an 002 myself. What cg are you using?

For my 002, I have no idea what CG it is. Got it off oncyte and the profile is stunning. Only from the side can you see its flaw, whereby the bottom half aint that thick.

I need one more for my franken 114 build. right now the CG I have on that piece is completely flat on the top.
