DSN is preparing a new 002/009. You might wan to watch for that. I have no idea how good it's going to be.
I am also trying to make one after having Rollie's dial.
Bought! I will be waiting for a 201A for my project. I am from the surface finish industry as well.
Supporting a amazing effort going into this hobby. I want my 201A dial when you are going to do those, Rollie
Pete, thanks for offering, I am eager to get the watch done up. I just simply love logo.. Guess everyone is busy right now..
Paneristi man, thanks for the email!
I was advice by a guru to source for FDG 201A dial. Any idea where can I get one?
How far away is the DSN dial? I couldn't really tell. Very little info avail on comparison on 201A

Yup, you can say that i wanted the color to be creamier. Its ok to be non-matching.
I am located in Singapore.
Granvino,
Thats a nice build.. Did you change the pinion too?
Pete,
Where is Goin located? I think I read somewhere he is also producing some CG for 201A?
The main reason is the color of numeral on the dial. Its a dark greenish color and you almost cannot see the numbers (from s distance) as it sort of blend into the black dial. I like it to be a matching-color with the hands too. I think the original build on DSN was too orange for my liking.
I'm less than 5 post so I cannot post pics yet..
Grim,
I didn't like the non matching color originally on this build. So I requested him to change it for me. He did it and took some shots. I look at it and it looks good on the pic. But when I received it, I think it's too dark. Like a dark greenish. So it wasn't really his fault, so I think I would have to find a solution myself.
Hi,
Received a 201A from DSN and is not liking the lume color on the dial. I asked him to changed for me and it look nice on the QC pic.
So i am looking for a solution to it. I think everything is nice except for the color of the lume.
Anyone that can mod this or is there another 201A dial i can change to? I approached FDG but he only has the 002/009 dial on hand now.
I will be adding more pictures of the DSN 201A as i think its really a nice build overall. His service is also good as he sent me a set of screws when i told him that it was stripped.
