milesd Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) So I had a similar post a few months back, but now I have my 009 back from Avitt. Not only is it three shades of "tritium" it's three case finishes. The 040 still needs some CG work, but other than that, they are DONE!

StormTooper4 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 Wow ..... It doesn't get much better than that. Seriously awesome work. Is that a Standard OEM on the 40 the stitches look yellow? I like it. Wear them well. ST4

milesd Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Posted July 17, 2011 ps) Can you please take some macro picś from FGD 040 dial, I have DSN dial,will be good to check what is difference between these two dial Same dial, but on a previous build:
Niqlndym Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Man, that's a nice dial! There's really no comparison with DSN, is there?
milesd Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Posted July 17, 2011 Man, that's a nice dial! There's really no comparison with DSN, is there? Not really, but dsn's 040 dial is supposed to be a b series dial, but even so it's still a poor dial.
sul Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Ok, tnx! DSN dial is not bad also IMHO , but yes number`s are thin.One is t-swiss-t, other is t swiss t dial. Gen 040 is so rare, only few gen pictures available on internet, so probably no one will really know 100% how these 250 watch dial was looking on 1999, all were the same or not...

PeteM Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Nice pics mate.... I still remember missing that Dirk by minutes .... I bet he was inundated with Ems for the price it went for !!! Great buy M tell us mate, whats your reference source for the lume in terms of colour and edging on the 009.... I had this dial finish myself but as I couldnt find any referencing for the non-matching lume I replaced the lume... Care to share please Congrats mate I decided to stop my 209 project and go for the anomolous 6502 with 201a logo dial....mainly because of the CB and dial finish and hands
colorao Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Congralulations your Pams are marvellous my favorite 040 my kingdom by your pam.
