tanya Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Boys I am selling this dial for a friend I would keep it if i didn't already pay for one of FGD's beautiful new 201a's I bought this on behalf of a friend (with the intention of building a super duper 201 who now wants a VDB instead?) from a friend and a very well respected modder. The dial has been lumed in a vintagized tritium style-superlume mix and also satin sprayed by Flav which makes it special regardless of who made it. There is no question that this is a beautiful dial by any stretch of the imaginaton. The question is who made it. The friend who I bought it from originally bought it from a seller who claimed it was a Gen 1 FGD. Fish I hope you read this and offer your two cents. Anyway who made this beauty of a dial????? FGD?? DSN??? Panerai?????? Old Goriot??????? I just want to pust it to bed so I can sell it for my friend at a fair price and move on. Your help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitch Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Since I've just returned to rwg after a break of nearly 3 years (and yes; I have a lot of catching up to do ) I am for sure not the expert here but it might be an early DSN? If I remember correctly the first a/o second batch of dials did not have as thick a font as the later versions had. The font in this dial (while beautifull) should be a bit more "crooked" to look more like the gen dial (or to look like the FGD dial that really matches the gen ) but again; i feel hardly like the expert so i will gladly stand corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'm thinking Gen 1 DSN as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerblade Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 DSN I have one that I replaced with a FGD & the dial font is the same, also the markers on the dial are deeper than FGD's & unless there's about a gram of lume in them they will be slightly recessed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
