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.

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 :)

My macro skills leave a lot to be desired (especially at 7am ;) )...

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!

Thanks for those macro shots - just what I wanted. 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.
