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?

well it would be easier, but i am not that kind of guy :Jumpy:

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.....

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 - :thumbsupsmileyanim:

but here is a small pictureserie of putting it together

get the minutwheel

and install it

mounted the dial - fits like a glowe :D

now to the hands - i was fearing this with my shaking hands (the ones attach to my arms)

84349-29714.jpg

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....

84349-29717.jpg
