SWATCHman Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) Got this Ultimate 111H from Angusyesterday. I put it on a Black sport calf leather strap (big copper stitch) by Manifatture Firenze. Then I did some minor DIY mods. I filed down the crown guard to make the fit with the case more flush. I overdid it a little bit (it's a [censored] to hit the right angle), so I had to file down the lever a little bit as well. I removed the lever pin and filed it plain to make it flush with the crownguard surface. That worked ok for the first attempt. Then I used heated glue to fill the hole in the lever. After the glue cooled off, I heated the pin an reseated it. Makes the lever nice and tight and removes wobblyness. Even if this is amateur stuff, I'm pretty pleased with the result. Plus I'm very pleased with the watch Angus delivered to me initially. Enjoy the pictures... I gave the lever Pin another go today and filed the crown some more. Obviously I have no life!!!

SWATCHman Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I just went through a DIY CG mod with my new Angus 111h too! Doing a much better job than I did. The lever pin looks absolutely perfect. I will probably have another go at mine, but the hole is not drilled as well as on yours. So there is a sunken part just below the pin on the crown guard. Thanks for sharing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wetsanded with 400 grit to start, then finished off wetsanding with 1000 grit sandpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATCHman Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 What did you use? I wetsanded with 400 grit to start, then finished off wetsanding with 1000 grit sandpaper. I just experimented with filing it down a little bit, then I use 600 grid paper and drysanded it a bit. But is was already 2 in the morning and I just wanted to be done with it. I had just spent the previous hour finding one of the screws that fell into my rather deep carpet. I did my wifes 217 yesterday, the results can be seen in the modding section. That went better. But still room for improvement. I guess you sanded crown and pin together, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Nice watches guys! And great work done on the CG's... impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 That's an impressive watch. Also love the orange stitching on the strap, makes it really stand out. I might think of doing a similar thing to remove the wobbliness of the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I am looking at some of your pictures and it looks like the crown guard is not fitting tight to the watch on each end. A gap exists at the end that looks big enough to slide a paper under it or at least see daylight if yoiu were to hold it up to a light. Maybe it is just the image or a shadow.

Usil If you look at the last two pics, the gap is pretty much removed. Had to do some additional sanding to achieve this...still not perfect, but hey I'm still young, lots of time to take care of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I can appreciate your desire to do this yourself but for a watch that has been specifically assembled and sold as a modded watch - this just seems like the modder should be responcible for this. This is a quality issue that, for a modded watch, you should not be responcible for. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
