Just wanted to share a couple of shots of my two Logos. The 201 a is just back from the proper beat Swiss heart transplant and chalky aged T lumed hands. Hope you enjoy!
You are on the right track. The cg will hold out for now but the V and LH even are better. I did get specific DSN 201A hands and have them lumed. Not something you have to do right away though. Some pics
Hi All, I have been reading much here and on the RWI site. I am very thankful for all that have given great info before my time. We all know that having a good and passable rep takes some work but I am kinda surprised the base dials are so hard to come by. I have seen many members here with lots of time and work put together some really great watches. Could you please lend some knowledge to correct what I have gleaned here?
My first interest is in Luminor bases, with closed backs specifically:
1) the Pre A 002- FGD has a magnificent example with Jimmy Fu case and his own dial and hands. The Jimmy Fu cases from what I gather are pretty much unobtainium. I havent seen a dealer sold base watch I could work from and if you know of one please let me know.
2) the Logo 000 - Our dealers have pretty good examples
3)009- PVD version of a B series- this seems to take a bunch of work and the dial and PVD would be an issue
4) 004- Luminor Marina- seems like I could get a Ultimate 111E and a 001B caseback and T45 crown but the T dial would not be there making it an easy spot.
5) 055 - Ti based Luminor with Tobacco dial- seems the hardest to do and find
These are my primary concerns and I have contacted some of the members that mod but I am aware they usually are hesitant to deal with noobs for obvious reasons. If I have made any mistakes please let me know- meanwhile I will continue searching and enjoying the forum. Thanks!
Hi all, I see some amazing pics stating use of Gen dials/crowns/hands and wonder how and where to get these. I would love to do as accurate base Luminor that is as accurate as possible. Of course being green I would be happy if there was someone out there doing this with attention to detail. Thanks everyone.
