177L + 111J transformation complete! Few pics

[cgn1017]

Guys

Just finished up. Previously the CP wouldn't take my 177 hands so had to settle for sub par superlumed hands. Well... I switched out the hour wheel and CP for a nice tall polished and put it on this nice Asia high beat I had laying around. Whaddya think? sorry guys from tapatalk... you have to click on the pic to make it bigger in the forum.. apparently they changed their formatting.

- Asia 6497 high beat engraved bridges ( I think pretty spot on)
- 177 hands/ base plate
- 111j dial
- of course 177L case set.

So .. you mean 111J dial is better than "H" factory 177M, 111M dial?...

Yep I've read from many of the leading PAM experts across the forums that the 111J noob top plate is the best out there. best colour and best cut outs for indices. Combine it with a H factory lower lume plate.

yup 111j top plate is the best. Cream text and more of a matte finish.

It's totally sweet. I need to get another for the 111m I'm gonna order. Sanding the feet on the 111j dial isn't that bad...

Nice, great upgrade for the 177
I also did this swap, 111J dial is very nice ....
