ravishingrick Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 Excellent choice, one of the nicest dials I have ever layed eyes on. But why did you order it unassemled? If something goes wrong while assemling it's coming out of your pocket?

If something goes wrong while assemling it's coming out of your pocket? well it would be easier, but i am not that kind of guy i just thought that it would be fun to assemble it my self, always liked to take apart things and put it together again, nice to know how things are assembled the dial is SO beautifull IRL, i must say that i am stunned by the quality of the parts that Davidsen provides... and the PVD case is breathtaking, cant wait to get it together.....
marinamm20 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Posted July 10, 2006 Mmmm... I see T-SWISS-T! Very nice! hehe my thougths exactly, it is such a treat to get such supber quality fo so small a price.
premiumdesigners Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 very nice. i just put together a davidsen PVD myself nice dial
marinamm20 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) Just fantastic! How much was the damage? a mear 270$ - and 93 Euros for the strap... so it is quit cheap Edited July 10, 2006 by marinamm20
fitmic Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 Great... Show us pics of the final result, will ya?
chris5264 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 I'm waiting to see this also. I think davidsen has great dials, this should turn out very nice.
marinamm20 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Posted July 10, 2006 So here we go - let me start saying i have newer done this before but with some patience, coffey and smokes - i did it - well sort off the only issue - i broke the stem - but davidsen will ship me a new tomorrow - but here is a small pictureserie of putting it together get the minutwheel and install it mounted the dial - fits like a glowe now to the hands - i was fearing this with my shaking hands (the ones attach to my arms) But it turn out to be quit easy, with wrapingtape and a ballpen without the insert it was easy to press the hands into place another handshot Dial and case cleaned for dust, movement installed in the case - then hell broke loose - or was it the stem ****sign**** but davidsen is the knight in armor and is sending a new for me.... but i needed to see the final result..so here goes - it is stunning - i am in love again.....love that yellow/orange color on the numbers it is just wauuuuuuu The AR coating is awsome........ i will bring a update when i get the stem and the MF strap for it......

Highflyingclive Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 Now, this is tempting... since receiving my David Sen 195... I seem to have lost interest in my 111. Seems to me that I could recycle the movement into a PVD destro like this. Now, that would be fun.
Estaban Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 One of the better posts I've seen in a long time. Beautiful watch. The AR is amazing.
Pugwash Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 The AR is amazing. Is it? How come I can see reflections in every shot?
chris5264 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 Looks great...Is that the movement with the longer cannon pinion?
marinamm20 Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 Is it? How come I can see reflections in every shot? due to the lack of my photograph skills - but i am trying to improve this..
marinamm20 Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 Looks great...Is that the movement with the longer cannon pinion? yes it is, this is the CN 6497-2 with XL cannon pinion
spock Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 Great job. How did you damage/break the stem? I always thought the hands was the most difficult,it seems to be not. It seems to be you have the power. LOL
