siesta181 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 So... I got fed up and envious of all these nice 202s that I went ahead and build one. Old EL case, VCG, FGD 202 dial lumed by Ziggi (much thanks to Simon - what a stand-up guy), hands modded to be more gen like, t48 crown, DLC, Pre-V lug screws. Assembled by Spinmaster Wearing Dirk's Legno PVD PAV style strap. Better pics to come next week. I am done. Cheers S181

frogfalls Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 it is really nice!! how EL's caseback is different from the Davidesen's caseback? is it thicker? looking forward to see more pictures.. Cheers
fishgodeep Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Awesome - I never tire of looking at great pre-V builds ...God I love this hobby Enjoy and you've got The Z-Man to thank for the dial Cheers Simon
dluddy Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Looks awesome J Is that an old EL PVD case?

siesta181 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Posted January 8, 2010 Thanks all. Watch does look stunning in real life. Apologies for F*@ked-up pics by a novice on a P&S camera. DOes not do justice to the watch AT ALL. This is my first FGD project and I must say the shimmer on the dial is magnificent. Unbelieavble. I was at a cafe for breakfast and must have aroused suspicion with me having a look at the watch in between sips... lol @CF: Its my pleasure to tempt you... wat are friends for? @frogfalls: Its a DSN caseback. No other alternatives at the moment. Awaiting Jakobh casebacks in mid Jan. @Dluddy: Yup, its the old EL PVD case. That particular case is only useful for PVD/DLC projects.
bmedude Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 that's one slick looking watch! Mind if I ask how much it set you back all together?
coolfire Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 siesta-mate, you continue tempting me, I'm gonna bloody rob you of it! IMHO, there's no better 202A out there, what with spinny's/zig's/FGD's contributions, coupled with the rare, rare EL case... 'nuff said!
coolfire Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 that's one slick looking watch! Mind if I ask how much it set you back all together? Allow me to chime in, but I'd put a 'Priceless' tag on this...
siesta181 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Posted January 10, 2010 Updates... better pics... i think. Cheers S181
trans_lux Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 That is so nice! A 202 is on the top of my list. Can we see it in the dark?
tanya Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 Stunning (Thanks again Simon for your amazing work!) God I miss mine now!! If it didn't help me get a gen I never every would have let her go!!
