{*PCTeam *} Introducing my PAM Pre-V 5218-201/A

[kaniel]

For a long time I was looking for a good PreV 5218-201/A and finally found one with all the goodies so I went for it...

These are the aspects of the watch:

-FGD dial first batch with matching hands.
-Jakob caseback.
-Case and crown David Wong. Case set with pre v lugs drilled
-Pre-V lugs with double screw installed.
-Swiss ETA movement with h3 pin installed.
-Goin CG (v2).
-Crystal with an exceptional optics (no distorssion) with no AR like gen.

As you can imagine the watch was outstanding!! A real beauty but with one isue I couldn't live with... There was a big gap between the case and the CG that I couldn´t stand.
This is very usual with this watches made with different parts but I'm very picky with this sort of things and It wasn't good enough for me..

Here you can see the gap between the case and the CG:

After thinking about it I decided to contact Goin because the CG was one of the CGs he sells... Told him the problem and he told me to send him the watch so he would install a new CG and make it fit perfect.

So I sent him the watch and after 2 months of waiting I just recieved yesterday my PAM 201/A with the CG modded by Goin.

And I couldn't be happier with the result!

Here you are some pics of the final PAM 5218-201/A with a brand new Dirk Vero Squalo Olive Khaki .
Enjoy !

Thanks for looking! And Thanks Goin for the new CG and the work to make it fit the case! Goin is the man! :notworthy:

This is one of the best (or THE Best?) build I never seen. My compliments.
If you want, you can add the thiny polished bevel along the top edge of the CG, like gen.

That is such a lovely specimen. Thanks for sharing.

 

[shyreplover]

Very nice and exclusive since very few would be willing/able do extensive parts hunting
Congrats!

I haven't seen that tiny polished along the top edge of th CG in any gen pics...

Can you show me? If it's not difficult I will add it for sure!!


Here are some pics of a gen 201/A CG.

 

[Rwolf]

Yes, I know. You dont always can see it. I think it was restored.
This pic below is from the website Vannic.it
You can also find a thread on RG about that.

 

[kaniel]

I see...

Thanks Rwolf!

I'll try to capecod the top edge of the CG carefully...

 

[Rwolf]

A rubbered nail file will be perfect to do it
