Over the years I’ve probably built around 50 EGI’s. Lots for me, lots for other people. I’m not sure why I love this PAM so much but it’s likely that it is because it is just so BADASS! It takes no shite from anyone. I’ve built everything from simple builds all the way up to full case modifications to fit vintage deco movements.
One thing I’ve never done is share them with the community. I’ve always thought I would amass a large collection and share them all at once, but over the years I’ve been coerced into selling a few, some have gone thru dial swaps, etc. I’ve realized I will never have a complete collection to share, so I’ve decided to share my Egi build of the Past, Present and Future. Wish I had photographed all of them, but the best one’s are definitely below.
Enjoy.
