goin6633 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Actually , it's a long story . About half of years ago , I got a destro LH CG because of my poor English (I want a normal one ) . And you guys know , LH CG is as expensive as a new good rep 111 . Then I start to thinking about what to do for the CG . After such a long time , and also lot experience for mod works , I make a decission to build a destro base for my self . So I order a 111H case set , Taka 111 crystal with AR , T crown , and also buckle from 8A & a good hand made strap . But I found a problem , destro PAM will have a up side down movement logo . And the only way to do that is use the sticker from Francisco . While the times waitting for the sticker , I just got an idea about the movement , if I can improve the movement , the 219 should be really ultimate I moded ever . So I remove all bridges and also the spring wheel , then I polished every bridges to make the geneva looks closer to gen . After finish the polish works , I send these parts to do Platinum replating to make all parts as bright as gen . Then , stick the logo to the correct place , my 219 was done . Check the pics , my firend , it's not from LH , but I will say it's better than his ! Wirst shots ! Enjoy it , my friends . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 That is a Great looking watch, you must be well pleased, well done on the sticker , but it may well be a transfer so with some great care and steady hands the top part may well come off leaving the letters behind, check with Fran Thanks for sharing ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unregistered Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Second what stormtrooper said above about the sticker, I think its a transfer so the top "clear" rectangular bit should come off. That pin on the CG needs to be pushed in a little more. DSN 112 dial? Overall lovely I really want a destro base now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
