Andei3000 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 The modification consisted of cutting the stem down on the lathe, and then making new 0.90mm threads... this is the stem after it's been modified with the 0.90mm threads. ?????????????? f.....g unbelievable, kudos to your great work and craftsmanship!!!!!! The outcome is outstanding - R is going to have an awesome piece of watch! R, wear it well - it will become a regular wearer for sure! all the best Andei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbchubb Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 A truly exceptional piece and perfect work by the Zigmeister (anyone expected anything less from The Zigmeister?). I especially envy you for the "old school" DSN caseback. Hard to get these days and not even close to the 202a casebacks Davidsen currently offers.

ubiquitous Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Gotta love the lugs! Here's how the case looked prior to being shipped over the Pacific Compare the short, thick, stub block lugs (right) with my Jimmy Fzu's lugs (left): Just the way a Pre-V oughta be!

dluddy Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Came out great Lani - but I would have expected nothing less given the parts pedigree and the workmanship involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers FGD That all the parts and friends are here on RWG.. makes it more special than buying any genuine and this comes eerily close to looking exactly like the gen... I'm definately down for any dials you have coming up FGD !!.. it's a pleasure to deal with you.. Ziggy is being humble .. as always... to mod the CG (to fit so perfectly) and the OEM crown.. is a work of art.,. and he had a great canvas with your dial to work with... I have a frogmans strap coming.. and then the finishing touch, getting the buckle that went to Zigs for PVD off to V for his PAV strap... it's been a very good month all the way around..

P4GTR Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 *In a really corny pick-up line voice* Did it hurt? The watch? When it fell from heaven? Did your watch fart, 'cause it blew me away! If radiation is supposed to be bad for you, that tritium dial makes me want to honeymoon in Chernobyl. Is your watch magnetized? Cause i'm attracted to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
