Angus' Ultimate 111H with some DIY mods... [Modem Burner]

[Swatchman]

Got this Ultimate 111H from Angus yesterday. I put it on a Black sport calf leather strap (big copper stitch)
by Manifatture Firenze. Then I did some minor DIY mods. I filed down the crown guard to make the fit with
the case more flush. I overdid it a little bit (it's a bitch to hit the right angle), so I had to file down the lever
a little bit as well. I removed the lever pin and filed it plain to make it flush with the crownguard surface.
That worked ok for the first attempt. Then I used heated glue to fill the hole in the lever. After the glue
cooled off, I heated the pin an reseated it. Makes the lever nice and tight and removes wobblyness.

Even if this is amateur stuff, I'm pretty pleased with the result. Plus I'm very pleased with the watch
Angus delivered to me initially. Enjoy the pictures...

I gave the lever Pin another go today and filed the crown some
more. Obviously I have no life!!!

That looks awesome, love the MF strap by the way, very nice combo. More and more it seems Angus is the way to go for the 111 fix, enjoy it!
