After seeing w0lf's post I promptly ordered a 61D from a TD. I Received the watch today and finally built myself the 40B I've always wanted.
First, some quick pics of the 61D's components (I'm sure our resident experts will come along and do a proper shoot of these soon enough ):
The dial compared to an old school El dial. The 61D has a very subtle brown hue and off-white indices:
The crown looks comparable to a Ti T48:
The case looks similar to a Kuvarsit v2:
Now on to my 40B. Nothing revolutionary here, I'm just happy to finally have one:
No surprises in the parts list:
Case set: Hfact 61D
Dial: FishGoDeep
Hands: FishGoDeep v1
Movement: Swiss w/ H3 flattened
Caseback: Jakob
Strap: Simona Bruno v1
Finally, I really like the 61D's dial and decided to use it for a simplified Slob build (no plexi, brass ring, Ti lever for now). I know the proper way of doing this is to use the old school El dial. However, I really like how the 61D's dial indices are more off-white as opposed to the El indices which have a greenish tint.
Thanks for looking.
