Hongkytonkman Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi RWG Been here half a year now, and since my first day here I have gained & received tremendous amount of information and tips from many ppl here at RWG. Due to this warm welcome by RWG, I have decided to contribute to the forum(not much but...) by being a proud RWG supporter from today. And as a supporter, I might as well show one of my collections for you guys to enjoy. I have yet to acquire huge amount of expertise like the majority here at RWG, but hope one day I can melt in to the community with all of you. This is my modded 111H, not fully modded <yes I need a V-CGs and some improvements on the back side, swap CDG bridges and accurate engraving> but still satisfactory project that may be the best 111H up to date. Thanks to Vaccum for the Vaclume, Tourby for the nice T-Crowns, and LH for the near perfect dials. HKT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milsub5517 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 LH dial is awesome, finally good spacing and font! Wish it cost less $$$ though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Beautiful watch!!!!! I'm in the process of ordering an LH dial myself. The price works for me...Can't wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkirke Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 that baby is absolutly stunning bro. i love the new dials and t_crowns. it used to be that we were stuck with the crappy dials, thin crowns, pos crown guards, but now with the help form some amazing people on these boards, all of that has changed. it's a great time to be getting into the rep game especially if you're a panny fan. cheers again to the beautiful project, and the soon to be one off once you get a V cg installed.

fitmic Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Absolutely fantastic!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milsub5517 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 such quality dial screams "put me in the closed caseback PAM"; With 1:1 CG and good crown that would be one "scary rep"!!! Gen owners will freak out what level of quality reps have these days..... Transparent back is a major step back, no matter what you do you cant achieve the finish of the gen movement.

Shundi Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I agree with mil_sub- closed back and a V CG would make that 99.9999% impossible to call out as a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I agree with mil_sub- closed back and a V CG would make that 99.9999% impossible to call out as a rep. A sandwich dial in a closed caseback will be a rep for sure. These dials didn't appear until the H series and the display backs were since the E series. nice dial though.

jjfesq Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 If LH does a logo dial for a 005 the closed back would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwisner Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 So for the 111H a closed back would be better than the clear one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that: You knew enough to not post too many questions that have been answered 5 times/dayYou knew about sourcing separate dials, crowns, etcYou embarked not on a simple purchase but a substantial mod jobPosted some great photosAND...upgraded to Supporter I think means you have already melted in, and know a heckuva lot more than the majority of members here. Remember...a substantial majority lurk and don't contribute (time in posting or money). There really aren't that many regular posters, and even fewer who pony up financial support. You did both. You're in the top tier!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Top Notch HonkyTonk... Great photos of a great looking watch ...the dial and the crown look especially good......you know you want a 1:1 V CG though!!! I hope that LH does make a 183-G dial and maybe 217/127 soon ..? If he doesn't I'm sure someone else will......it's not that costly to etch through thin steel and get it screen printed/ pad printed in a correct pantone... Just getting the artwork right first is where the real skill lies!!! Enjoy that PAM!! FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sattop Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I agree... a V CG is a must for that awesome dial!! And eventually a T-48 crown if T decides to make them. Hows the availability of the dial? Seems like your the only one that has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're in the top tier!! Thank you very much Toadtorrent, Now I really feel this place as home sweet home Your spectacular reviews here have given me so much knowledge to REPS. And from your pics and valuable tips on many many watches, I'm currently in the middle of a mod project for the SMP chrono as well. Also I'd like to shout out a big THANK YOU to other repected members here at RWG for your sincere compliments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have 'em with me since I work somewhere else on the weekdays. One slight problem I'm facing right now... got them hands relumed (the rep hands lume were just terrible...think they painted them in green LOL) from a local watchsmith but it came out too dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
