  1. Hi there,

    There have been some mutations in my watchbox, i thought i share with you!

    Bought a beautiful DSN 009 from a fellowmember, love the pvd and basis dial!

    I already owned a 082 (version 3) and i wanted to have it relumed by vaclume.

    Lucky me, a fellow member (TK471) sold his vaclumed 082 against a fair price!

    Dealing with TK471 was great, nice guy and smooth trading!

    The relumejob on the 082 by vaclume is amazing, what a difference a dial makes :D

    The watch made by DSN is already great, but as a freak i appreciate the extra "lumepower" :p

  2. If you want something to practice with, I have a AE superb lume kit your welcome to...it's complete, and great to practice your technique before you go at the real thing...

    Unless your going to only do sandwich dials, you really need to get a number of lumes under your belt as practice, before you go at dials.

    If you want this kit, let me know...

    The Zigmeister do you want and live in Holland, i will help you move :o:o:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

  3. Hi,

    Because of the nice replies on my 217 posting, i will make another small contribution.

    082

    Today i received the 082 from DSN.

    The 082 looks great, the dial is beautiful.

    The only thing i'dont like is that the dial is c1 lume and the hands are c3.

    When charged the hands have a slighty other color!

    So i guess in the future this watch must cross the ocean again for some Vaccum magic!

  5. Friends,

    Today i received my favourite watch back from a (great) service maintenance by Vaccum.

    I also received my first amazing Tootall strap.

    I have decided to give you some pics and tell a little replica story :D

    The purchase

    In march 2006 i discovered www.ioffer.com and i bought a 217.

    I didn't know anything about reps and paid to much ($ 430,-).

    The watch arrived and i was happy with it:

    Straps

    I discovered this site and read about all the straps geeks!

    First i thought it was stupid, but soon i orderd my first strap from strap-works.com

    It gave the watch another look.

    Broken glass & repair & modding

    Like everbody's fiddy my mineral glass cracked!

    I was really [censored] of!!! :evil:

    291710-4837.jpg

    Soon i discovered you could buy an DSN sapphire and and the watch could be fixed.

    I sent my watch to Finepics in London, he modded my watch.

    Now the watch has amazing superlume, fixed cannon pins etc etc...

    In the meantime i bought a lot of other reps and discovered the straps from Elliot

    I bought my first MP for this watch, and i sold the strapworks strap.

    This MP strap looks amazing on my vintage brevet radiomir by Flavor Flave.

    Dead Movement & repair by Vaccum

    3 weeks ago my movement went dead. :shock:

    I contacted Vaccum and he offered me his service

    I sent the watch to the US (affraid of Custom problems) and received it back today.

    Dealing with Vaccum was great, communication is top of the bill.

    And most important he repaired and serviced my watch :D:D:D

    I am seriously thinking about sending another watch from some modding (more fun!)

    Tootall Strap

    I started to like the Greg Steven - Crazy horse.

    A few weeks ago i saw the straps from Tootall, and they look amazing.

    I received a B2 from Tootall today, and it must be said it is the best strap i have for my fiddy!

    The leather is amazingly soft and it looks stunning!

    Dealing with Tootall is very pleasant, the price/quality of his straps are amazing!

    For my next pam strap i will first contact tootall :lol:

    Enough words, here are the pics:

    Conclusion for about this watch:

    It has cost me way to much :twisted: (buy a DSN fiddy, no modding needed !!!)

    It has tought me a lot :D

    It has been a lot of fun 8)

    It has been in countries i have never been :D

    I love it :D

    I hope everybody likes this posting, have fun !

    Greetings from Holland.

  6. Hi Friends,

    I ordered a 082 from DSN and bought stap from Greg with it.

    The 082 is in the plain right now, but this beautiful strap arrived today.

    Greg straps are very thick.........i tried them om my dsn 177H it goes but it is thight.

    Today i put the strap on my 087 diver, because this watch has a blue white dial as well.

    I have made some pics for ya ;-)

    Later this week my 217 returns from vaccum, i ordered a tootall strap for it.

    So more photo's will follow ;-) (if the customs are nice :o )
