Luthier 1 Posted April 3, 2012 Glad you sorted everything out, Dennis. Now - most painful - waiting time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFH 0 Posted April 3, 2012 Looks like DSN moves fast - he has the parts, will send QC pics early next week and I have heard he gets things out quick! I have read numerous posts about lightning fast EMS deliveries from him across the globe. "The waiting - is the hardest part...." (T. Petty rules, by the way...)

Luthier 1 Posted April 3, 2012 I'll shoot him an email - I need seconds hand, don't know, why, but only two hands make me sad... So, I'll ask, how soon he'll get proper Molnija. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DFH 0 Posted April 9, 2012 UPDATE!! Here is the first set of QC pics I received from DSN this morning. So far so good - only real issues at this point are changing the Rolex/Brevet crown to the Brevet/Swiss Cross crown as requested - and getting a good lume shot with no additional lighting to cross-check the lume on the dial with the lume on the hands. Will post the next set of pics later with open end straps/GPF buckles mounted, the new lume shot and of course, the correct crown in place. Wish I could get pics to show the detail of the tobacco dial, but we all know how hard that is to capture... Nice blend of vintage/new don't ya think? Would love your thoughts...

DFH 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Beauty, Dennis!!! Thanks G !!! Just got the lume shot - looks great and the watch is now 100% approved and wil be shipped out today. Now the fun part.... waiting! DSN did a great job, excellent communication and fast build. Will post shots of it mounted on the 3 straps and GPF buckles when I receive it! Thanks for your help and counsel on this, G - much appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

str8 0 Posted April 10, 2012 That's a beauty, D ... me too love the look of 'clean' vintage. Don't forget the wrist shots ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFH 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks, D! Very happy with how it turned out. Should have it in my habds in a week or so - will definitely post photos/wristies when I get it! Now, if only my preordered 243 from Toro would show up - he is still waiting for the new batch to arrive - it's been weeks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted April 10, 2012 Dennis, little advice, if you didn't cover it already - be very careful with choosing the strap - it should be "Bingo!" right away, changing the strap on this beast is a nightmare. So, ask David to show you a few, and choose one. Good luck, mate, we all envy you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, ask David to show you a few, and choose one. Good luck, mate, we all envy you. Thanks G! I studied up on this a bit, and ordered Open Ended Straps for this one! They fold over the lugs and are put together by clips (I did not like the traditional pilot style with the snap/buttons). Got them in Black, Brown and Tan from DSN. I will have a really beat up vintage style open end strap made as well - will design it as soon as I see the watch in person. here is the black version from DSN so you can see how it works - makes the fixed lug issue a breeze to deal with!
