Oh right, I forgot the lume issue and cannon pinion issue.vaccum said:
What about the crown? Are the current reps that far off in the crown design? What about the crown is off? How much does it cost for just the crown?

Palp crown is way btter then regular rep crowns.
Cost isa bout $80us + new stem + install fee.
So did you assemble this watch completely yourself?
Does any current rep dealer sell a model that comes with an accurate case, accurate bezel, swiss movement, accurate dial? I assume none of the rep dealers sell a model with the 1:1 crown and crown guard?

They all have flaws, it's a question of which flaws YOU are willing to live with.
Man, 33 posts in a day. You need to find a second hobby. :wink:

I've been lurking, was active on another rep forum that is closing. I guess I had a lot to say. 
I want to put together a 111H. I might be willing to get a new crown and guard, but I would prefer to get the case, bezel, dial, hands, swiss movement all from a single dealer. I was hoping Trusty time, perfect-clones, or one of the others would have a 1:1 case and bezel and a good dial. I know they offer the swiss movements. I could have the cannon pinion fixed at the same time as the crown. I might live with the lume for a while.
What do you think? Is that possible? If so, which dealer has the most accurate case, bezel, dial?

Davidsen's new 111 dial will be pretty tough to beat. IMO, his crown guards look damn good, too. His crowns are 2mm wide, the bevel on the teeth is just a bit too pronounced. No idea about case/bezel correctness, I'm horrible at spotting differences there.
Thanks all for the compliments. Other than having the money to pay for it, I can't take the credit for any of the work done. A watch smith in Netherlands is to be credited for the work.
For those who are interested: Jimmyfzu, Finepics and Palp (Palpatine) are members of those other boards: TRC and RWG. Do a search over there, and you will find all the info you need.
A great Jimmyfzu CROWN GUARD comparison. Unfortunately the 1:1 crown guard is no longer available! Reading the review you can indulge in fine nitpicking we all love.
Great info about PALP crowns. Not sure if he is planning a new run soon.
If you are looking for Finepics, try to PM him at RWG for luming and cannon pin jobs, among other things. He resides in EU. In US our own Vaccum is the man. In Canada look for Ziggy (Ziggyzumba) on RWG.
If you want a great out of the box 111H, wait for Davidsen's fixed font version. Superlumed dial, hands, cannon pin fixed Swiss mov. with Davidsen's AR coated sapphire crystal, not bad crown. Should set you back $300-$350. That's at least what I would do.
Should be for sale any minute. Don't hold your breath though.
From Davidsen, I would probably go with the 005 right now.
A very smart man on this board said once: If you wanna wait for somebody to come out with a fully moded 111H, you might be waiting forever. Or something like that.
Babola, that 'L Swiss Made L' comment of yours made me restless again. Now I can't look at my dial anymore.
I wish you all that you find your own "PERFECT" 111H or whatever turns you on.
