It's been awhile since I've posted, so I thought I would share some quick pics of my most recent project. I'll post better pics and details of the bulid by the end of this weekend.

In the meantime, hope these will suffice...

Now that is one nice Pam. For a newbee with an untrained eye, you seem to have covered all bases. It's looks really good. Is that conventional brushed PVD or beadblasted?

Like I said in your thread on RWG2, I hate you.

:p

Stunning, stunning collection of some extremely rare bits, there, Project.

Guys, IIRC, that is a *gen* PVD case set that is being used.... Looks like a gen crown, too?

OEM case set and cg were a lucky find via eBay... contacted the seller about some other non-PAM watch stuff and he mentioned this case set, but it had quite a few scratches and was missing the case back and movement... so he wasn't going to list it. I had him send some pics and PayPal'd him 20 min. later.

I'll be repping the cg shortly with an initial run of 100. Look for an update in the next week or 2.

projectologist tell us more, and please put me down for 2 SS crown guards once you've done them....

Where did you get the dial from?

Dial/hands are from the Honpo run of 28's. I will be doing a run of early series cg with pin, lever and guard pkg'd separately. Makes fitting much easier as well as applying the desired finish. BTW they will come with a satin finish so that it can be easily brushed or polished depending on the project. Donor gen is slated to arrive Tues. or Wed., will be mapped then reproduced via EDM maching. Very accurate and leaves no burrs. I want a product that is good to go without the need for final shaping as was the case with V's. Will try to keep the final price under $100 usd. I am not taking pre-orders, but will be producing plenty to go around.

Cases are in the works, but that is down the road a bit. But, before cases am looking into daylight cg's.

Now you know as much as I do... 8)

projectologist,

:D :D :D :D

OK I can see this is going to be a 'long term relationship'
