mjmurphy926 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with the blueprint drawings that have been circulated around here several times over the years. I always wanted a blueprint of a 111h, but could never find one. So, I decided to take one that I have of the 203a and modify it to a 111h. All I have done so far is the dial font, numbers, and cannon pinion. What do you think so far? What needs to be changed on the dial? I thought about L SWISS MADE L, but not sure I want to tackle the curved font. These are big images, but they are only about 1/4 size of the high res original.

Hongkytonkman Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 go 100% mate rather than leaving the inaccurate designs and printing. I would change the strap/buckle etc... look forward to the final design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmurphy926 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 And now make the buckle 22mm thumbnail design Yeah...That's gonna be tough since I'm not actually creating a blueprint. I'm modifying an existing one in photoshop. I'll at least give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmurphy926 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Six looks like the Pre-V shape Yeah...All numbers and print are modified Pre-V, so I'm not surprised. I'll have to work on it some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Buckle changed to thumbnail. Strap changed to 24-22mm. "6" worked on a little (still not happy). Lower right description changed to PAM00111 H. I haven't done the side view of the buckle yet. What else? EDIT - Moved blueprint to the first post on this thread.

esco Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Not too shabby... the lug screws also need to be changed to the long single screw system. Sounds like a fun project!

Keep it up Thank you sir! I've been so focused on the dial and buckle, I didn't even notice the lug screw issue. I'll see what I can do about that.

mjmurphy926 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 not to forget the hands ! Are you refering to the lume cavity extending too far down the hour and minute hands, or is there something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 lookin good mate go for the L SWISS MADE L Thanks. I'll save that for last. I have a feeling that will be really time consuming and I don't want to get bogged down with it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Any chance you'll make a few of these!!!! I'd love one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Any chance you'll make a few of these!!!! I'd love one! You bet. Once I finish, I'll post a thread showing the final version and tell anybody who wants the high res version (6486 x 4611) to send me an email address and I'll send it off. Or I may try to find a site that will let me post an image this size for download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 OK. I modified the front view as follows: Changed the lug screws to single screw. Changed the hands slightly shorting the lume cavity. Cleaned up the strap separation area where it goes from 24mm to 22mm. EDIT - Moved blueprint to the first post on this thread. Other than adding L SWISS MADE L, does anybody see anything else that needs to be addressed on the front view? Once the front view is complete, I'll move on the the other views. Also, if anybody has a parts list for 111 parts, I'll change the part #s. BTW, I printed this latest version on 8 1/2 x 11 plain paper and it looks really cool. When I finish, I'm going to matt and frame one of these for my office. When I'm done, if anybody wants the full version, let me know. Don't just print the small version or you get those jaggies on the curved lines. Printing the full version, regardless of print size, won't have those. It'll be nice and smooth.

mjmurphy926 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I changed the way I'm posting updates. Instead of adding a new blueprint with every update, I'm just replacing the original in the first post on this thread. Look up there to see the latest. I'm getting close. I think I'm done with the front view (except maybe L SWISS MADE L) and the side view. That thumbnail buckle was a [censored], but I think it turned out pretty well. Now I have to decide if I want to do the following: 1. Create a caseback. 2. Search for a list of 111H parts and change part number notes to the correct numbers for 111H. 3. Add "L SWISS MADE L" to the dial. Does anybody see anything else I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 After several hours of attempting to create the caseback, I came to the conclusion that it was beyond me to do it using nothing but the original blueprint and Photoshop. I'm going to have to actually draw it, then scan it in and resize it to match this drawing, them clone stamp it into the blueprint. In the meantime, I decided to make an incorrect, generic caseback. Not close to 111H, but it'll still look good on my wall. I'll post again when I get time to draw the correct caseback. Until then, if anybody wants a full size version (6496 x 4611) of this one (shown in the first post in this thread), PM me with your email address and I'll send it.
