mir36 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 After seeing w0lf's post I promptly ordered a 61D from a TD. I Received the watch today and finally built myself the 40B I've always wanted. First, some quick pics of the 61D's components (I'm sure our resident experts will come along and do a proper shoot of these soon enough ): The dial compared to an old school El dial. The 61D has a very subtle brown hue and off-white indices: The crown looks comparable to a Ti T48: The case looks similar to a Kuvarsit v2: Now on to my 40B. Nothing revolutionary here, I'm just happy to finally have one: No surprises in the parts list: Case set: Hfact 61D Dial: FishGoDeep Hands: FishGoDeep v1 Movement: Swiss w/ H3 flattened Caseback: Jakob Strap: Simona Bruno v1 Finally, I really like the 61D's dial and decided to use it for a simplified Slob build (no plexi, brass ring, Ti lever for now). I know the proper way of doing this is to use the old school El dial. However, I really like how the 61D's dial indices are more off-white as opposed to the El indices which have a greenish tint. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapman57 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Congratulations - great stuff! Did I miss it - but which CG did you use? It looks better than the other 61c CG's I have seen to date - much more correct upper section above the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir36 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks for the nice words folks. @ Mapman, the CG is the stock one from the 61D. Hope these shots help you: I'm still working on my Slob, but hope to finish it tonight and post some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Lovely work mate... I always loved the look of a SLOB..... just where to find that crystal... though the bronze does start to show through the PVD I wonder how this could be achieved..could it be done in a pre vapour process I wonder?
