ravishingrick Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
