siesta181 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siesta181 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share 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 Share Posted January 8, 2010 that's one slick looking watch! Mind if I ask how much it set you back all together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share 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!
