Thanks, yes this one came out quite nice. I am figuring out the smoking of the dial better with each project. The indices were bright yellow before....

Gave me goose bumps watching it. Very well done. I was in NYC right after it happened and saw many very impressive gestures of humanity and solidarity. Unfortunately politics and the media have abused these and changed their direction for their own purposes. Hopefully this anniversary will remind people again about the true values in life....

Photobucket decided to cooperate again:

I personally like gold hands on a Cali dial: I have a better pic but somehow photobucket and I won't cooperate today.....

I live in Nicaragua and we have about 2-3 power outages a week, you get used to it. On the other hand I lived the first 25 years of my live in Germany and I can only remember two power outages during the whole time...

Even for a V1 this is a pretty lame attempt IMO. You are better off buying a 5513 and a better aftermarket dial and hands...

NDT has two different types: The one for the 6542: and this one which I think is for a 6538:

Thanks for the link, buffering right now

I know Matthew Bain back from my days in Miami, actually just saw him a couple of months ago, sporting a 6542 on a leather strap. He and Massimo Barracca used to own a store called "Senzatempo" that had an upstairs office with some of the finest vintage time pieces. I bought a couple of Submariners and a GMT from him then and saw my first 6154 in the wild at on of the soirees at the store. Wish I had known more about watches then, could have picked up some nice pieces in the 90's Today they both run watchcommander.com and have (co)written a few books on collector watches.

Very very nice. My favorite Pre-V so well executed. Congratulations
