joepinitza Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owram2 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
