Thank you so much Simon. This project couldn't even be started if you didn't offer such an amazing dial and hands...

Hi Rob I sent you the 201a parts with the workable LH cg that was used in 203a last time. I'm not sure if you have either received the package or heard about this from Jennifer so I'm just letting you know. And I'm aware that the dlc coating is off compared to the gen pvd coating but unfortunately the case was coated befoer I know about you.. What could I've done.. maybe I'll ask you to coat a case with your pvd when you do the next run.. I truly appreciate this piece built by you. Anyways I hope you are well and just let me know when the parts are there safely. Thanks.

haha especailly happier to see you here~ Thanks gentleman

good for you man! Does EL case has the correct short rug shape too? I heard EL case is nice too. nah.. I got it a while ago.

wow is that a picture of the gen cg pin? I've seen many gen 203a pics too but i couldn't see a single polished pin for 203a gen. What I have as of now seems to have pretty close color and effect to the one from gen pic so I think I'm just going to push the cg pin a little inside and it should be the end of it. I hope this can be done without removing the coating of the cg. You own a great 203a too!

Awsome watch to own. Ain't it?

I know what you mean but I can't shave the cg pin cause it has the special darkened effect on it. If I shave it it would be pure brushed and it'd be too bright. It just need to be pushed in a little. If you see the cg from the back the cg pin needs to be just pushed in a little more to flush with the cg. And I believe there are some gens with cg pin a bit outie and some with innie. And the DSN case had the lugs drilled when it came. Thanks!

yes it is.. how could you tell just from the pic?

Sure will do!

Finally my 203a project is over.. It took me so much longer than I expected and finally it's here. FGD dial, FGD hands, Dsn Pre v case, T48 Crown, LH CG, Jakob caseback and swiss unitas. Dlc coated by avitt and most importantly relumed and built by The Zigmeister! I'm so proud that I own this piece and I can't thank enough for those who helped my build. Especially The Zigmeister's work.. I've only hear about his magic and this is the first time I've actually experienced him and ... wow.. I just don't know what to say about the quality.. Thanks The Zigmeister! It's both cosmetically and functionally perfect. Now all I have to do is wear this beautiful piece with pride. Enjoy the pics!

thanks for making sure guys.

Curious what the gen was like..

That's something undoable for me. Should I just leave it as brushed?

So how do I get machined finish effect on it?

I've seen couple pics of gen 203a but I still can't figure out how the cg pin of the 203a is processed. txcollector who owns a franken said it should be polished. It seems to me that it's neither pvded or brushed but not polished. What's the answer? I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys.

wow.. what CG do you use on those watches? They are more accurate than the LH cg for pre vs? and it seems about same with avitt dlc coating color. Do you see the diffence in person?

sad... last pvd for sure?? I was saving it for the ultimate watch meister's case... dang.. should've done it with my dsn's case...

thanks everyone We had misunderstanding in the communication and now it's all solved.

I had an appointment with him in early september but I postponed shipping till today since the replacement dial arrived yesterday. I sent a pm to him and it's blocked again.. I hope he's not out of business already or something..

thanks for sharing guys!

Hi I suddenly fell in love with the titanium and the first model came up to my mind was dsn 40b. What's the overall qualities like and what mods are there to be done? Is fgd dial swap a must ? what about cg? caseback? and I'm planning to get radiomir 292 as well. What's the word on the street for dsn 292?

why swap the cyclops to 6mm? isn't it supposed to have 7mm like gen?

wait a min.. it's not gen and dsn's???

I asked him if he does the varnishing and the answer was no. Is matte spray going to make a huge difference? FGD dial as is not good enough?

I know the first thing you have to do when you get the fgd dial is get it gen tritium lumed by The Zigmeister. But I remeber seeing posts here there that says they do some extra work to make it more perfect matt? Is that job really necessary on fgd dials? If yes who is the best in the field?
