...at least or me!
In 2012, when DW was still reliable, I commissioned him to produce a 6265 black dial 'non-Sigma'.
The one that's pictured in the RDALB Book:
I paid for a prototype dial, which was delivered to me a few weeks later.
A nice dial, even though the subdial paint was kinda fragile and already fainted at two subdials. Who gives right? It's vintage after all.
Then communications got rocky and DW disappeared...
So I was left with one dial, even though a lot of members wanted one back in the days.
Anyways, I started gathering parts again and kept them warm and cozy for more than another year
Yesterday, after weeks of tweaking, filing and re-luming - I finished her.
Parts:
Cartel 6263 reshaped
Cartel hands relumed
DW dial
DW bezel
Genuine coronet
Genuine 702 crown
Genuine T21
Athaya tube
Cousins UK pushers
The greatest thing for me is that I was able to make the Cousins pushers work. Don't ask me how, as it was an ugly fight.
However, the pushers work and the chrono runs and resets perfectly!
Now, to the pictures:
