Latest project... 201a, first pics

So this one has been floating around for awhile. It started with the case set that was part of a gen part-out with another member. He started to convert it to a 201a franken. He wasn't feeling a lot of love for it, so I offered to take it off his hands. He had a very good looking DSN dial in it, but the slightly smaller #'s and the slightly larger arrow logo bugged me. In with an FGD dial and slap on a correct Pre-V buckle/strap = a lot of love for me :D

Parts rundown so far...

gen case set

98% 1:1 Jakob(sp) case back

hands... standard rep issue, nicely aged in coffee by the previous owner

FGD dial

Swiss 6497 movement from Ofrei.com

Dirk strap with Pre-V correct buckle

Next upgrade... FGD is considering doing correct Pre-V hands :thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Some quick phone pics in the driveway (just drove back from the previous owner's house where he did the dial transplant for me).

Awesome. Did you have preV lugs drilled?

I hear ya, that is why I asked. Especially since it is a gen case

Very nice

Thanks! That's definitely on my list. Since it started life as a gen case, I want to make sure I decide to keep it as a 201a and not make it into a more contemporary model.

Once I drill it out, there's no turning back :(
