dutchguy2 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 This is my latest build. I was more or less by coincidence. I had a 002 Pre-A with DSN dial I did not like and had (from a trade) this unknown 01 dial. After some research I found out that this dial would be a perfect match for a 01A series watch. I just happened that today my ST36 movement arrived from Tat and I had no plans for it yet. And.. some Pre-V hands from Helenarous. So the build exists from the folowing parts (s far as I know them): - DSN Pre-A case - Best crystal I have ever seen on a rep (unkknown source) - This fantastic dial, made fro one peace of brass - Helenarous Pre-V hands set - Crown: unkknown, nice and thick - CG: probably DSN allthough it is very thick and nicely polished and correct for a Pre-A case - Movement: ST36 Hi-beat. - Case back: DSN Pre-A (the well known 0099) Well here are some pictures, let me know what you think about it! Here are some picture of gen: Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Wow cannot believe I missed this and that so few comments on it. That is a seriously nice looking watch you got there love the the Tri Lume. That CG is pretty sharp to, is that second to last picture with the grey back ground the same watch? That's a seriously good picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a seriously good picture. The last three pictures are of gen watches, just to compare. The biggest flaw mine has are that the hands are too white. but as I type this they are already relumed and drying Will update this threat when done with the relumed hands.

Rolexman Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Sweet looking watch but that big crown gap is a straight give away imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 beautiful!!! just try and get that crown slightly closer to the case and you're 99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchguy2 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 The crown position is on the wrist not as present as on the pictures but you are right, I need to address this fault. Just finished the hands. Can't tell you enough how vintage this 01 looks, just awesome. And thank god I have this crystal, although no AR it is not present at most of the time, just great. It is very hard to capture the color of dial and hands. Here is a second attempt. Thanks for your positive comments, keep them coming.
