New 111H's . . . Where Are They?


Recommended Posts

I seem to remember a month or two ago some discussion about a new version of the 111H with improved CDG engraving and operating swan neck, like the latest "Panerai"-engraved ones. Anyone hear anything more about this? Thanks.

You can ask the dealers. They can build you one with the new movement.

CDG movement?

It just seems that if they were available, people would already be buying and posting pics of them. And, the dealers would be advertising them. But, you're right, I should just ask.

You mean the H series movement with working swan neck? It's coming out soon afaik.

Save your money and get a non-display back historic with a swiss unitas. The money saved can be used for pin fix, relume, and crown if you so desire. I seriously don't understand why people spend the money on the "fancy" movements. The $150-200 premium spent seems foolish.

I've already placed my order with Palp for the 2.1mm crown. Estaban, which model numbers correspond to the non-display back historics? Thanks.

005, 000, 001. There may be others. The functionality of a standard 6497 is identical to the "decorated" newer versions (as long as you're comparing swiss with swiss). Even if I did have a display back, I still wouldn't care. I had a 111G with a display back.

I ordered a crown as well for my 029. Now all I need is a 6mm cyclops that actually has magnification and I have the perfect rep.

BTW-I always appreciate what you have to say on the board. You have good taste in watches and don't ruffle any feathers.

I like the 005 - that looks like the way to go, and no worries about the way the movement looks. So, an 005 with 2.1mm palp crown, Davidsen capped hands, superlume (?) - and I'm good to go? Anything else besides a "Christmas" strap?

I don't understand what is the fixation with these movements, these movements have the same functionality as a normal Swiss ETA 6497-1 anyways. These movements won't fool someone in the know anyways, as there is always a giveaway on these movements, such as bad finishing or incorrect font. It's not worth to pay another $100 for it.

I say get a 001, as that watch is the closest to gen when all mods are complete. I say you should try to get an actual set of the canon pinion to mod it, as the Davidsen capped hands still look a bit "fake" to me. Relume, crown and maybe AR caoting and you're good to go, you've got something that is 99.9% to the genuine. You should do a 005 if you like it, but the only problem is the caseback is inaccurate, but I think Davidsen has a correct caseback avilable too.
