Very happy with these 3 new case backs from Belkin12. These watches had been rocking some old and inaccurate DSN for the last 10+ years, but now they're how they should be. Amazing attention to detail and finish, especially the 082 which is a personal grail.

Absolutely ridiculous specs. I am very jealous. And those Kostas and Dirk straps: I am drooling in my beer my good sir.
Actually I'll just add: the Rolli dial on the 209 has such an incredible lacquer, idk if it's your pic or the actual dial but I've never seen one lustre like that

From Rolli and my original post on RWG in 2014:
"Last year, we ingeniously developed a high-grade Super Luminova color that simulates the appearance of tritium that's been aged for ten years. This unique color was analyzed and subsequently produced for us by RC Tritec in Switzerland, utilizing a triple high Grade-A Super Luminova formulation created specifically for our needs.
Furthermore, we were fortunate to acquire the remaining stock of original tritium resin varnish UV820 from RC Tritec. This stock, dating back to 1993, is invaluable. The UV820 varnish isn't just any varnish; it’s the original high-gloss resin used in all tritium mixes and serves as a protective layer against radioactivity.
In crafting our indices, each one is meticulously hand-filled with this specialized mixture by skilled employees at Swiss RC Tritec. This process is executed with precision using a stylograph, adhering to the distinctive recessed Pre-V style filling that is typical and sought after."
so now you know how and why
Thanks
PS I don't have any UV820 varnish, it remained at RC Tritec after Rolli passed.
Absolutely amazing information. I have been scouring RWG this past weekend in search of very old threads and research from all the OG members, w0lf, Rolli, FGD, Grimlocktime and all the rest, unfortunately a lot of information has been lost to the mists of time. Pictures have disappeared and all of this stuff has never been compiled and classified... I am looking for all the w0lf pictures showing his reshaping work for example, I have the thread that supposedly documented his work, unfortunately the pics are dead nowFrom Rolli and my original post on RWG in 2014:
