!Dear All

I just finished this watch last night. We all know that the 177 is beccming harder to source since it is out of production. I used an 036 case to build this one. Mods include eta cannon pinion H3 and hour wheel installed, relume was done with my great C9/C3/C1 mixture, not the cheap and ineffective noctiluma. Look at how nice the crown craddles the case, and look at the teeth. This is one of the nicest rep ti crowns i have seen. Standerd rep crowns are 1.89 mm, Palp crowns are 2.1, this crown is 2.0 mm. no lever pin issue. Cannon pinion has been flattened and polished, hands are nice and even. Notice the nice even lume on the dial and the great ar that is on sapphire crystal.

Now i only have 5 of these available for sell

Movement is the new asian h movement or the eta clone movement.Sorry people swiss movements are back ordered.

Now enjoy the pictures of this amazing watch :D

I forgot to add a movement shot. Please also note that this is an 036 case, but i did have one spare 177H caseback.

Actually, I think DSN's Ti crowns are a bit more accurate than this one. I had a crown just like that on my 036 from Ruby (and a SS one just like it on my Angus Ultimate 111E that's on my wrist as I type). The teeth are too big and there are too few of them, plus there is no bevel cut on the inside edge. Personally, I'd go with DSN's Ti crown. You're right about the CG, though. Looks pretty good!

DSN's crowns and guards are the best. Most often though what people do not tell you is that the tube is to large for the case so you have to drill the case out :wink:

I do agree with you though.

Certainly Sir.

Plumed means lumed by TWP. It is my unique mixture, 3 parts of different tritec lume, 3 parts binder, and after looking at the finished product 1 part semen :lol:

Yeah, and I gotta assume that's a bitch with SS, let alone Ti! :wink:

Yeah and on the wrist without closer inspection, that crown looks pretty darn good anyway.
