I just received photos from my supplier,,
[blink:1rfg41gh]I GOT THEM TO DO THE BASE DIAL!!!
AND THE STANDARD 113 DIAL[/blink:1rfg41gh]
They messed up and put a white second hand on the 113 so that is being swapped out with a black one before it's being sent to me.
They also put PVD case backs (see through) on them,, I am having it sent to me that way so I can inspect and photograph. We know what it will look like with a SS 113 case back ... might as well look at it with the PVD caseback..
It is the "swiss made" instead of the "L Swiss Made L" but they are not interested in correcting the dial,, too much cost and with current stock of white dial they are not willing to sacrafice that stock for a correct dial with such little demand for it (30 black dials sell to 1 white dial) so economically speaking it makes no sense to fix.)
Also, lume dot issues.. being not perfectly centered... but when have they ever been? Not to mention,, it's easy to fix if you want modded.
The movements look nice!
Details:
113 or 114 Dial
PVD Case and Caseback
Asian 6497 Swan Neck Movement
Tall Canon Pinion Modification already performed
Price: $190
Shipping from China via EMS or HKP $25 (except to a couple countries in EU that require DHL,, shipping then is $45)
Sapphire Crystal with AR coating.
Again,, knowing what a 113 dial looks like,, and now we see the base below...
I will be happy when I have these two in my hand and can take my own pictures as these pictures do not do it justice according to my supplier.
I can start taking sign-ups for these.. and I project to start taking money by the end of the week.
Dont sign up unless you are serious and capable of buying one by the end of the week maybe early next week as I need to show enough interest in this project to make it a permanent ordering option. Assume a PVD Back although I could probably get the SS back too.

Here is the photo of the 114 PVD, I will not show the 113 until the second hand gets fixed (they put white on it instead of black) as I dont want people to get turned off by it.
