Yo Adrian! Part 2: Sly Tech 205/a and 218a

[mir36]

There's never been a better time for PreV and PreA projects, thanks to the collaboration between Rolli (Rolf) and FGD.

I put aside some bench time this weekend to update two of my favorite builds:  the Sly Tech 205/a and the 281a Black Seal

The previous generation FGD dial (circa 2009?).  I tried to capture the sheen.  The earliest FGD dials were shiny, hence the need for a coat of flat varnish.  I never varnished this, since it looked ok when cased.

Close-up of the new Rolli/FGD dial.  Note the even flat sheen:

A hand press.  Life is so much easier since I got one of these.  No more popsicle sticks.

 

The new dial cased next to the previous generation dial:

The 218a was cased in an OP 6500 with fat CG and double-screw lug bars.  I used a Kuvarsit V2 case (circa 2012 ) with DSN's previous generation (super fat) PreV CG and crown.

Note the lug screws on the left side of the case...

An early morning, house is all quiet, bench wristie:

And finally the daytime wrist shots which capture the true color of the indices:

Thanks again to Rolf and FGD for the amazing dials.

Those dials.... Wow.  As one of the very few people to have actually held a genuine Pre-V dial next to Rolli's... I can say for certain that they are identical in terms of how they are made. Congratulations on your beautiful dials.

requirement is a perfect dialmaker in switzerland with high precision

cnc machines and all other swiss machines.

 

and i very high end made vector graphic with all coordinats points and the correct measurements like the genuine one.

 

oprical laser measuring machines to measure all elements and indexe.

 

when a swiss dial mkaer works dials for a swis top watch brand, the results of the dials must be 1000 percent perfect.  only dials from those dialmakers will be installed in the watches for baselworld.

 

all the best
