Old schoold big fat numbers with depth. (no longer available)
The perfect Palpatine Crown (as close as it gets)
Custom made monster CG flat ground to perfection (just like the gen 201A)
CG lever modified to be nice & tight in all positions "open to close" (yes sir)
Vintage super lume emulting the varnished Tritium dial (yeow)
Beautiful Non-matching super lumed hands (Un-hunh)
Dial modded to give grainy texture (just like the gen 201A)
The rest is pure Davidsen majic

Pictures could be better, I am not the perfect camera man.

Can't see very clearly here but is that a cut out dial?

Pamfried, that would appear to be a sandwich (cut-out) dial that has had the indices (cut-outs) filled with either lume material or something else.

azgjav did this same thing on his beautiful 202A with art glass, IIRC.

Amazing, amazing watch, p550! I wish Davidsen offered his new dial print for the 201/A (a bit heavier and bolder) with this old, fat indices sandwich dial. Simply stunning!

Thanks guys! It is a creatively done sandwich that very nicely emulates the engraved dial of a 201A.
