First Pre-V Build: 201/a (pics!)

[jbetts1790]

After a couple months of collecting parts and getting everything to fit together, I present my latest build: 201/a. This is my first Pre-V build, and although I have some future upgrades planned, I think it looks great as it is now. I have two straps for it, a black Dirk, and a brown Orloff (both fantastic straps). This is already one of my favorite watches! Here are the specs:

- 111J case
- Goin Pre-V CG
- T48 crown
- FGD dial (lightly lumed)
- Helenarou Pre-V hands
- DSN caseback
- Swiss low-beat 6497
- No-AR Sapphire Crystal
- Dirk black strap (also Orloff brown)

The orloff brings out the color of the tritium better. Just need the hands to match and you've got yourself a winner.

Did you do the work yourself? Nice job.

Yes I did all the work putting it together and getting it all to fit; the CG still needs some minor adjustments. I actually like the slightly not matching hands (there are some gens like that), and in person they are not that far off.

Cool. In my mind if you love love the watch thats all that matters. Again.....nice job.

Great work mate!

Like those many little fine details, i.e. Unbranded movement, crystal and so on

Well done
