Recommended Posts

hi all,

here is the 5218-201A logo gold with simona pav edition black with logo buckle:

details:

case with gen sapphire: andrew,

dial, handset, caseback: davidsen,

crown-guard: v-crown-guard,

crown: t_crown,

movement: gen unitas 6497 with cote de geneve and h3 cannon pinion,

strap: simona pav edition black without buckle,

logo buckle: purchased from a rwg member,

modifications:

original 5218 strap attachment systems, screw/tube system: new manufactured with a tech. drawings by a local fine-mechanic company,

and reworked and adapted to the case-lug holes by my watchmaker,

( i have two original gen 5218 screw/ tube systems as sample )

workings by watchmaker:

crown-guard and lever adapted to the case and crown,

crown-guard and lever polished and satined,

crown-guard disassembled in single parts,

new crown-guard screws manufactured with a longer thread and round-head,

both left case lug-horn threads drilled out to a 1,8mm diameter hole,

case disassembled in single parts,

case completely polished,

sapphire ar coating removed,

all single parts went to a local fine gold company for plating:

before plating, crown got a stem for the protection of the thread,

crown-guard screws were screwed in the case for the protection of the thread,

1.) basic plating all single parts: 5 micron copper for a better bonding of the gold,

2.) 750 fine gold plating 5 micron,

after the second plating some parts of the case had to be covered with a special varnish from the gold company, done by my watchmaker,

( bezel inside part, case part for the bezel and sapphire/gasket, case thread for the caseback, thread of the caseback,

case tube inside for the o-ring, lever-pin-shaft, inside-part of the crown-guard for the lever, left-right side of the lever, crown inside part for the o-ring )

3.) all case parts went again to the gold company and got the main plating, 750 fine gold 25 micron,

all varnish covered parts removed with a ultrasonic bath, done by the gold company,

final workings by my watchmaker:

all case parts assembled including o-rings greased, tested and adjusted,

enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Well Rolls Royce

What can I say that I haven't said about your earlier projects, among which are the SLOB and other amazing unique pieces? I don't know what you do for a living - but Panerai should double your pay and get you on their team. You have the appropriate amount of love AND the appropriate amount of logic (a rare combination) to be - what you are - the master.

When I see your projects I react with 1) Awe 2) Envy 3) Respect 4) Inspiration

Gold is not my cup of tea, but that's besides the point. It's great. Hey Rolli...keep it up!!!

Ooops! Just thought of a challenge (&please excuse my blunt spontaneity): Design a watch from scratch! I'd buy a Rolli (or whatever it would be called) any day (if I could afford it)....go for it dude. You are better than the brand

you love.

dear friends,

thousend thanks for the kind words.

of course i'm looking always for a new challenge, thats my addiction.

after i've seen the result of the 201A gold, promptly grew the idea to make also the 201A in steel.

next week i will calculate the complete price for all these workings.

the most tricky work was to cover the case parts with the special varnish, that nerved a bit.

but the result is amazing.

normally a gold watch is not my thing, but this pam with its technical design and in gold, thats really outstanding.

further have a great time here on board

and a lot of greetings to all

rolli
