swdivad Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Just made the luckiest pickup of my rep life... a complete custom 5218-201A that just bleeds loveliness... Feels every bit like the real thing, sans the current price tag... I just can't stop looking at it at all angles... feels like the first time again LOL Now, I'd really like to know who the d1ckhead was who designed the strap changing system back then... Cuz he's fired! Thanks bwhitesox for the lovely watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Really wish you hadn't posted such a nice 201a... now I really miss mine And I agree with you regarding the strap change system ... it was the final mod I passed on. Congrats on a fine pick-up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 That is one of the finest ever D - a great pick up so congrats to both members!! Hopefully more accurate hands are only a few weeks away and I'm dying to see how Marcus' new crown looks on these bad boys. They look a little thicker and possibly more satisfying for Pre-Vendome models especially! Cheers FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babola Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 She's a beauty, mate! That is one of the best DSN cases, for sure. Wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 D that was probably my finest watch and a tough decision to let it go. Wear it well my friend as it is very special indeed. P.S Remember I'm first on the list if you ever sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Wow, I know very little about these, but this one looks perfect. Congratulations ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys... I take my hat off to BWS, the originator of this beautiful piece.... I've bought and sold a few watches with BWS, and it's always been a pleasure for me... albeit these little meetings always feel like a secret drug deal ... I sit anxiously in my car... looking left and right... D springs into view... seemingly from nowhere, and we do the trade right there in the 7/11 parking lot It's easy to buy a watch, but surely not easy to build one properly... This is why I love this hobby... I have only built/customized a few, but the joy in that far surpasses walking in and dropping a ton of cash on the table.
