redwatch Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I really like the 201a and the strap that's on it. Nice collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir36 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks for sharing the recipe for successful PreV projects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Very nice collection. Any chance of getting a close-up dial shot of the 036? I've got a DSN dialed one, which I'm about to send off to The Zigmeister, and just want to see what it will end up looking like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Good stuff Ross. The magic is in the formula and you nailed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I really like the 201a and the strap that's on it. Nice collection! Thanks - the 201a has a really nice Heroic 18 strap (their anniversary offer - this, the Pre-A strap and two buckles for $100!). I had tried a 1st gen Dirk, but really wasn't that impressed with the quality (I found a Wojtecki much nicer for some reason!). Thanks for the comments everybody, will get the macro shots for Drulee later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please bear in mind that the 'T Swiss T' is no more than 4mm across, so The Zigmeister's handywork is pretty impressive. Magnifying it 20x on screen will always highlight any minor flaws, but at the same time, highlight just how incredible his work is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 That's a great collection you got there. My favourite is the 036. Wear then well ( and keep the brothers together ) Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's settled, off to The Zigmeister the 036 goes. Luckily mine is the last DSN dial, with proper "T SWISS T", just hate the orange colouring.
