This is my first River 6154. The required look was old but cared for, not overly abused.
Parts:
River 6154 case set (softened and shaped slightly by me )
River stock crown, softened and aged.
River stock rear plexi yellowed and aged.
River front stock plexi aged slightly.
Movement ring is modified from an Athaya moly ring for a silix 6154, needed to be sanded on the outside and height dropped. It has also been treated with a salt / lemon / vinegar bath to age it and some beautiful green patina formed.
Athaya hands ( aged and lumed by me )
Athaya RP dial ( Painted by me ) Lumed with Cornholio's vintage lume.
Molnija 3601 seconds trimmed ( cleaned and serviced by me ) (thanks Tanukjaju for the help and advice :thumbup: )
I'm using a sanded and slightly thinned moly dial as a back plate for the dial to raise the stem a little. It's still got it's pins so it's locked in to place and the Athaya dial is attached with dial tabs.
