I have been lucky enough to be able to acquire some parts to put together a special pre-v watch - the legendary 5218-205/A Slytech. Ingredient list includes a Rollie dial and FGD hands, Noob 111J case, DSN PreV fatty CG and PreV double gasket crown, Jakob 205/a caseback, and new Swiss 6497-1 high end elabore movement plus H3 kit (although without the amazing laser etched markings of the authentic movements I’ve seen in some versions on H-F).
My thanks to @Mir36 for giving someone like me the opportunity to be able to build this watch and for @kilowattore for helping someone with (somewhat limited technical skills) to put this together. Anyway on to some photos…

Congrats - that is a very special watch! I'd love to find a Rollie dial for a build.

Enjoy in good health.

Just got this, cost me about $30, a little bit expensive for a Russian watch in this condition.

Just thinking what should I do with it.
