Took me more than a year to complete but well worth it afterall.
Some gen pics that I've collected and used for reference.
Under warm lighting,
Under normal lighting,
Here's mine ... ...
Specs List and mini review
1. FGD's dial
- Best and closest Pre-A 001 rep dial to date with the correct yellowish aged lume. However, the Pre-A 001 dials are rare as there was only one production run.
2. FGD's Pre-V hands
- A must have for anyone after Pre-V or Pre-A projects. However, the tip of the hands are not sharp pointed. Minor flaw that I can live with it.
3. Takashi's true sapphire crystal
- Anyone who need a crystal for their 44mm manual wind pam, Takashi's crystal is highly recommended. The crystal has the correct thickness and it is also very reasonably priced.
4. Palp's crown
- This is the new version palp's crown and I don't think it is still available. Although some members commented that the thickness is incorrect (too thick), but I find it spot on after comparing it with a gen crown side by side. Anyway, the next alternative option will be T48 crown.
5. Jakobh's caseback
- This is one of the most important part to complete the whole watch as no pre-A 001 caseback had been made before. Jakobh's caseback scores well in my book not only for the crisp engraving and correct font used, he also make sure that there is an outer ring spacing / gap between the edge and the engraving per gen.
DSN's also offer caseback for the Pre-A PAM but it is only correct for Pre-A 009 and there is no gap between the edge and the engraving.
6. Gen calf tan strap an pre-V buckle
- Make the whole watch feel genish.
7. EL's old school PAM111E/F case
- One of the best case apart from Jimmy Fu
