Cannon Pinion Needed - 111H

[golgi]

I have tried to find a source for a tall cp for a 111 but can't seem to locate one. I'm sure it's here in RWI in spades, but the search engine won't allow 'cp' 'cp mod' etc. 'Cannon Pinion' turns up a 4 year old thread. Can anyone direct me to a source for the part?

I actually got a BARGAIN $99 111H from Trevor with dual sapphire, textured dial, and swan/dagger...sort of a consolation watch. It's become a recent favorite so I'd like to upgrade it to as close to gen as possible. CP mod and a lume job.

I've replaced the cg screws with aftermarket Pam, cg lever pin flush and polished, and hot glue'd the lever. It even gives a nice click when closed tight. The strap is made from an original 1920's Italian leather holster! Well I doubt it, but it looks good.

This baby is currently one of my favs, and I would love to finish it off. Help

Oh, and if someone can recommend luming, I would really appreciate that as well. I realize the sandwich is a bit easier, but is it something I should attempt myself?

Thanks!

Some here but a little pricey. Also I've seen them on FleaBay lately. If you're lucky maybe another member will have one for you.

Thanks for the link jcrry2.

So to have all the parts to make the tall CP on cousinsuk.com, just order the hour wheel & cannon pin, correct ?

 

[jcrry2]

[HeadToucha]

Ok, thanks for the confirmation, it's a lot cheeper than wiegandwatches.net

Is the cannon pin also polished on cousinsuk ?

 

[jcrry2]

I found a set on feeBay for $25. Cousins was MUCH cheaper, but I would have gotten killed on the shipping. This will be my first mod ever!

I've been slowly procuring the tools I'll need: hand puller, presser, jewelers tweezers and screw drivers, caseback opener and a lume kit (I'm going to swap to a better superlumed dial and try luming the hands...first lume job). Anything else I should expect to need?

 

[HeadToucha]

yes, the ebay link @ 25$
