altesporsche Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Just finally finished my 201A build. Quite pleased aside from I have to redo the black paint on the caseback and eventually get another CG as I'm not fond of this one. The build is: -Wolf reshaped 111 EL case to gen specs (this guy knows pre V cases well) with DSN crown and tube for pre V. -DSN CG refinished (not happy with this) -Matt C3 pre V spec crystal -dial is the new Rolie 201A dial and hands -Gen swiss 6497 with cote de Geneve in the correct pattern for a Pre V and correct markings for early pre V 201A, brass hour wheel like gen and polished CP -Jacob caseback with small serial -gunny tan strap I've had for years, so buttery soft !

Dinkis Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Really nice build, sir. Excellent. Still one of my favorite watches all time. Hey how will you redo the caseback? Just curious as mine has a DSN caseback that needs retouch tooSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beone21 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Great build, and it might just be the angle but it looks like the dial is tilted to the right a bit? Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A3003 met Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A3003 met Tapatalk Hey, yea I just noticed that when you mentioned it. It's not as pronounced when looking directly at it, but at a slight angle I guess the parallax exaggerates the misalignment, however I'll have to take it apart and re align it lol I'm super anal! I must have done this when I swapped out the hour wheel yesterday and quickly reassembled it. ? Also need to figure out a way to tone down the gloss given by the fresh lacquer on the dial. Apparently it will soften in its shiny ness in time like the original. But I'd like to push it along if I can ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
