Guest avitt Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Well, my pilot watch bug has continued... Here's my latest creation: Those who saw my post on Custom Homebuilt Flieger #1 will be familiar with the specs: 3-piece, 42mm German 316L stainless case, with a low-domed, double AR coated sapphire crystal. Superluminova dial and hands. This one features PVD coating on the case, and on the CDG decorated Seagull movement. The watch is currently wearing a black leather flight strap, in the original B-Uhr style. Here are a couple of shots of the twins (soon to be triplets)...
Guest asim Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 hey that looks amazing!! im a huge fliegeruhren fan and your twins are stunning. love the PVD. how much does it set you back making one of those??
dluddy Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Love it Avitt....More than your first one
bwhitesox Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 I think this one is better as well but did you consider an onion crown on this at all.?
chubbchubb Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Especially the black Flieger is awesome....
FxrAndy Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Looks great Avitt, I have been wondering about these, did you do the DLC your self?
Guest avitt Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Thanks guys! I think this one is better as well but did you consider an onion crown on this at all.? Yes I did. In fact, I ordered a completely different style for the mid-case and crown (not an onion, but a smaller coin-edge). But I received the parts that you see, so I went with them... Looks great Avitt, I have been wondering about these, did you do the DLC your self? Thanks Andy. No, with these parts, it is more cost-effective to have the coating done by the vendor (standard PVD, on both the case and the movement). He also pointed out to me that the crowns have internal gaskets, which are not easily removed for the coating process.
cc Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 wow!! the PVD Pilot is looking sexy i happen to have one more open spot in my box
