Grimlocktime Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) DSN is the best current source for out-of-the-box a series. But the CG okay at best and the crown is not accurate. If you want to take your time and source some parts, H factory V1 seems like the best way to go as suggested earlier in this thread by Mir. KW makes a PVD case with a nice thin lug profile that is a bit closer to A series 6502. Edited December 13, 2013 by Grimlocktime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlocktime Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Speaking of H factory cases.... I think I am finally "done" with this watch. Here's the new recipe all H factory V1 case Drilled out and added DSN Pre-V crown and tube Polished rehaut Ultra clear Noob crystal Swiss 6497 with decorated plates H1 CP flattened, polished Mystery cartel CG, polished body Flattened and polished CG pin DSN caseback (surprisingly accurate) Good bye ugly H factory hex tube!!! After I installed the crystal I realized I should have polished the rehaut a little more. Maybe later... Flattened and polished CG pin H factory lug profile versus gen 6502 Gen 6502...looks pretty close Pretty happy with this build. I think it's a keeper;) Many thanks to Rolli and FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granvino Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Grim, I found this pic from a gen sale a few months back and..... your built is right there! The dial on this gen should confirm the variance on the shape of certain numerals..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlocktime Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Thanks G! I have done the most with this one. It's approaching "gen feel" status;) I found a similar picture today with a 9 that doesn't curl as much. There were definitely variations as Pete, Rolli, and FGD sight.
