The website is not great so I usually contact customer support, ask for Ethan, and send pics of what I want made. They are really good, but since most straps are custom made they take a bit (about 5-7 weeks) to produce. The quality though is amazing!

Yes. This latest batch is the best I have seen. The markers are deep and he painted and varnished them-- really gen like! Although, the indices do not glow, I would not relume it-- it just looks way good, and to be honestly, I am not sure that a gen would even glow all that much..

I bought as part of a group run led by Mattusss over at www.wrist-check.com. He only had 3 of these dials and is currently sold out. Not sure who else is selling this latest run. I know that production was very limited.. II would check with MartyD

Okay.. these new FGD dials are the funk!! Looky at my 201a.. It's on a croc/gator, so for the purist please excuse but I needed a change this week..

My baby..

I am copying you!!

Do I see a Pre-V CG in the making or is it my imagination?

Tonight..Waiting on an FGD dial to try out..

I am not a fan of the beat up Vietnam shot at looking vintages, but some subtle aging is a nice touch.. I just soften the sharp corners a bit with some fine sand paper... I use a Dremel and a course (and fine) buffing attachment and then repolish a few times.

Another option

BTW.. That new LV looks pretty darn good..eh?

Damn it! Another watch to add to my list.. I saw Donerix's AP Diver in person this week and loved it. I love chronos and this has to be my AP favorite along with the diver.

+1.. I kinda believe in Karma and very good things come out of kindness and altruism-- two things that are unfortunately lacking now-a-days.. Folks like him teach us very important and very very valuable lessons!

i have been eying an ingold dial myself..so if this confirmed i will add it to my shopping list

Question.. My pt1680 aligns pretty well with the cut out and clark (at least to my eyes).. but the dw is not very well aligned.. the numbers are pushed to the left of the cut out and not very centered ..will these make it better??

DW will now sell these for $199.. A bargain!

+10000000000! You are a very good person ubi!

Holy Grail of Grails! Yikes! That watch is absolutely priceless!

I'm not at all an expert on Sub dials, but... Maybe the stepped window is peculiar to the newer service dials?

Doesn't have the Swiss-T< thing below.. but, I agree with LHOOQ. new service dial probably..

not sure but look here and notice the date windows..

Edit: I think the one for sale is suffering from a visual illusion perhaps better pics are needed.. Nice dial BTW.. wish I had the funds..

Compare it to the gen 1680 dial for sale right now on this forum .. the gen not only has a beveled date window, it has a pyramid step in it as well. I dont think Ive seen any rep 1680 dials with the step reproduced.
