W - if 50% of the people who picked up my dials take 1 case each then "interest" should be into triple figures. Just to throw something into the debate - it's my understanding that with a single lug screw system this would be a totlly accurate case for 5218-209 , 5218-210 and Pre-A OP6500 models (001,002,003,004,009,010) If correct this should have a bearing on the level of "interest" so I'd welcome any clarification from "The Sages"! Cheers FGD

Just a quick update Tooling has been done for the die press and should have first prototypes in a week or less. Probably looking at mid to late June before these are available .....maybe even into July 200 or so sets so expect this will be enough Cheers FGD

Patience and faith is all you need Don't bug me,just trust me that there will be more (and enough) before the summer is out. Cheers FGD

Spot on - especially is using a gen as reference Now if someone could make a copy of that gen xtal as well we'd be taking it up a level further Opcrowns new crown is an excellent choice for Pre-V models as it has that extra thickness Hands are due in June and I plan to make more dials in June /July W - huge kudos to you for this FGD

Beyond nice - proper masterpieces Cheers FGD

I'm loving my Bruno Rolli I have my sights firmly set on 5 or 6 Pre-v options as well - especially army green gator with PVD !!! Cheers FGD

They look aweseome P - great work and can't wait to receive!! Cheers FGD

Sweet watch indeed but $10K sounds top dollar ?- It would need to be near mint and totally complete set for it to appreciate properly as a collectors item....but that's just my $0.02 All that said ...if you want it and have got the money then just do it Good luck FGD

Would jump on a 5218 model in a flash Just look at that Slytech above FGD

Hells Bells - they are OEM quality shots ....I'm sold !! Thanks for posting as Angus site doesn't do this justice - the strap looks excellent as well. Cheers FGD

I cant wait for some of these beauties to go on sale !!! May the force be with you Rolli!! FGD

Very nice - love them both and it is a beautiful rep - I hope DSN can turn out more of the same I hear rumours about 196 , 24A and maybe he'll make a 23A? Enjoy FGD

I find the easiest way is to add an insert into the "dish" of the crown so that the lever connects. This can be combined with an additional ruber gasket on the underside of the crown as well. Looks far better than extending the tube or filing the CG feet which is very very difficult to get right without precision machinery/tools I have used an old sandwich dial (about 0.2 - .3mm thick) and cut a small square. Then polish this square up (unless you have a PVD crown) to achieve a satisfactory finish. Then using a swiss file and/or dremmel with sanding wheel - shape the square into a circle hat will fit snugly into the recess of your crown- fix with some impact adhesive when you are happy with the shape and finish. Maybe a half hour job and nothing permanent done as with filing CG's etc. Cheers FGD

Oh yes - looks spot on !! More photos please - I am keen to see more of DSN's ultimate case set!! Cheers FGD
