joepinitza Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 I just picked up a Rolli/FGD 202/209 dial and am trying to figure best options for rest of watch. I will end up having to find someone to put it together so was hoping to get as close as possible with the the watch. I was thinking either the Davidson 002??? Or maybe his 009???? Not sure how acurate the PVD is and if I have to source other parts to make more gen later ... if I could match the PVD. How accurate are the DSN A series casebacks? Are Jakob CB's with custom serial obtainable? I read somewhere that the DSN crown guard is off ... is there a good alternate that is able to be sourced? Also ... any recommendations for the build once I have the parts? I realize that is a bunch of questions ..... Thank you Joe

ogladio Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Nice to see your first post coming after 6 years btw!
joepinitza Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Posted January 7, 2014 Yeah .... takes me a bit to get started ..... I'm not a big poster but the science and attention to detail facinates me.... so I read a bunch on here. I have posted a little bit more over at RG. Thank you for the information!
owram2 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 DSN is preparing a new 002/009. You might wan to watch for that. I have no idea how good it's going to be. I am also trying to make one after having Rollie's dial.
