coolfire Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I know SD has been consulting with very knowledgeable folks along the way and frankly on that basis bought in as soon as he was willing to accept money.

gnarly Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Awesome, Rolli. Why don't you do a run of your dials on that top equipment and show what it will look like? I'd buy at least 2 dials off you, and I am sure half the pips on the list would do the same, in addition to this current project. The more the merrier I say! Go for it. +1 Let us see rolli how ur top equipment result I'm sure I'll buy from u... sent from my cheap android tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korneevy Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 looks amazing you will get a PM rolli It does look good indeed...wish it were preV or preA dials though, as otherwise finding it hard to justify that sort of investment in just one part of the build. Anyways- back to OP: any updates on 202a status? Timeline? HQ photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 when you use a top profi with all profi machines and also you have a personal engineer who makes the profi work for you, and also a profi graphic designer from one of the best publisher company with a lot of technical experiences and so i learned the absolute profi work. you see it in the result. that opens a new range of dial possibilties. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esco Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thread definitely hijacked... SD, don't let it distract you! Any updates on your end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugop Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Sorry for my part, I'm still in SD. I will send payment when you are happy with the 201a non matching. No disrespect meant. I think everyone just has a great regard for FGD's work. Edited October 1, 2013 by hugop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 FYI, if and when there is a new FGD dial it will merit its own thread with all the details - aesthetics, availability, pricing, etc. SD's project is what is actually available and is a huge leap forward from anything available to date for Pre-V projects. Kudos to SD for following through and a number of us eagerly await the final product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I was lucky enough to procure SD's prototype hand made 201/A dial and upon returning home from a trip to Disneyland, I found said dial waiting for me. Needless to say, I very eagerly performed some last minute surgery on my watch... These are just quick snaps... Love the shape of the index/markers!

ubiquitous Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 One more quick pic... I will try and snap some better quality pics later today. I'm very impressed with SD's work; if he can do this by hand using simple tools, I'd love to see what he can do with machinery! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esco Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 depth of those indices are to die for love the shadows it produces when filled in like that... good stuff SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 This is quite good indeed. First dial with a correct 2 in 12, serifs and lacquer fill. Proper texture can be accentuated with TS79. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimlocktime Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) How dare you sir! These are clearly pics of a gen dial!!! One thing is clear, those with doubts can calm down and the people who backed out can come back begging for a second chance. SD proved himself to be a master artist! Beautiful work SD! By the way UBI what CG is that on your 201a? It's one of the finest examples I've seen. That lever tip is solid!
