spboudart 0 Posted May 3, 2011 It all started with a watch I brought from another member and it was already modded watch, but when I got it it was a 004. The previous owner had it Dlced by Avitt and had the AR removed. As I bought it 'head only' I added a Panatime 'Loco horse' strap. What it looked before: I always had in mind that I would turn it into a 202a, so I bought an FGD dial but it had a flaw (around the 'E' of 'militare'): So I sent it back but it was impossible to find another FGD dial so ended up buying a Dsn Hands and dial set (also got the Caseback then): But that wasn't good enough, and Dsn's hands were not pre-V... Luckily enough after a while, I was able to find the dial I was looking for, bought it and had it sent to Goin (FGD dial are unlumed). Got some Pré-V hands. I also bought some of the Pré-V tube and drilled holes in the case to fit them in. Here's the final result: Lume shot (on the left is my Gen 177): I thought the lume wasn't very stong but Goin told me that it was the strongest of all vintage lume, stronger lume is possible but not in the correct color...

greg_r 82 Posted May 3, 2011 Looks pretty damned good, mate! Enjoy! CG pin could maybe use a little flattening, though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted May 3, 2011 CG pun should also have the PVD removed but it's fucking awesome!! Oh and you might want to ask FineDD about the Lume. He does cracking vintage work, correct colour and just as bright as the gen. Deja's 202a which I built for him had a FineDD job on the dial and it's breathtaking.

spboudart 0 Posted May 3, 2011 I thought the CG pin was Dlced, so that's why I didn't want to flatten it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
