The 201a dial been done finally. Lume shot complete watch with a new brushed CG

New cnc engrave 201 dial not yet ready from re printing of logos.Hopefully I will get it back in the next few days. But other up garded parts are made and ready.Would like to show them to you first. 1.New case New case been made with 2 pcs screw bars lugs. 2.New Flat and Brushed CG been added to the new case 3.new case back 4.A pre A style leather straps with sew in buckle I simply use my first generation sandwich dial to put all thes new parts together . Hope you like the outcome. Will post new pics of the new dial soon.

2nd batch of 201a and 202a dial been made. Index diameter been remade to smaller now so that the index distance is further apart from the edge of the watch. But printer made a miskste on the 201a dial logo above the 6.I will make admenetment soon. Index lume been filled up manually.I think i still need more practise on tis. Hope you can see differnce between the first and the 2nd batch. I have made some simialr cnc engarve dial on the 203a and 218a pre A dials too. Hope you like them.

These are the new try out dials I have made. The Hollow lume making on index is very hard indeed i have difficulty in getting them them evernly applied. pls see the outcomes anyway. 210a 202a I will make some samples without the hollow lume effect to compare the diffferce. More pcis will be postd this week.

I am still trying to put lume on these indexes the way same way like the Gen. The process is very slow and need some practices. Will post pics of dial with lume soemtime this week. I have made some sampels(unlumed) with printing of logo on these base dials. 201a and 202a. Pls see if the these dials logos and print ok? the pre A sew in 24mm steel buckels been made too. I will make engrave of the panny logos and put them into straps (115/85mm) What straps are the best? plain color straps or sharkskin pattern?

The First Blank dial pic is not very clear. This is the original artwork which has been made and prepared by Enzo. Dial logo have been made with an aging effect. This is the artwork of the case back I would not have started off this project without his advice and assitance. Also all your inputs and comments are well noted too. Pls bear in mind that I am trying to make a very close rep only. Making a 1 to 1 gen copy of this model is impossible for me . Rep is only a rep. Lastly the 202a dial also has the very same index making like the 201a.I simply change the printing of dial logos and it will become a very good looking 202a dial too.

Well, Dial with lume will look better and more clear. plus new logo print. Will put pics in the next post. pre v case is under construction. up graded case back is on the way. Plus a sew in buckle strap too. I am working on a ultimate 201a watch with you now. Lets do it step by step. Thank you

This is a pre run sample of the new 201a dial I have been working in the past 2 months. This is a solid 34mmx 0.8mm black dial with dial feet made for units 6497. All Indexes been engraved by CNC machine unifoirmly at prcise 0.5mm depth from surface. My next step is to apply c1 lume/vintage lume on the bottom and 4 sides walls of the index aera.then fill the hollow aera with vanish. Printing of logos will be done eventually. more pics will be followed soon. All comments are welcomed.

Laser engrave can make very very thin engrave(0.5mm) on the brass dial only. It is not hard to make laser engrave on this dial.But it is imposisble to apply any lume onto these engraves as there is just no room for it. Acid engrave can make deeper engrave than the laser engrave.But still no deep enough for the lume sitting like the gen. The most proper way is to find someone who can make these engrave by CNC . Good luck!

sorry for the mixed sup of cae back. It has been corrected. pls see pic
