Best guess, Akira

He's not far off, sealed p301's have gone for 2000$+

Can't see anything.. , but I live in Montreal and saw it on the news, that was hilarious. My brother works on McGill in an office and watched it all! Good thing everything is connected underground so he could just go right to the metro without drowning

The tool you need is a Torx screwdriver, not sure the size but if you get a set you should be fine. Cool watch!

Nice watches guys!

That's really cool, engrave the case back imo and don't worry about the value. It doesn't hurt the value that much if at all and I doubt she will ever want to sell such a thoughtful sentimental gift. It's really up to you as far as what to engrave.

Yummmm

Sorry, fixed

That's great news! I can't wait to see the completed watch, I think it will be amazing

Haha!

I hope it's not too bad, sorry to hear that but a good watchmaker should be able to set it straight Good luck

Now that's nice!! I love it

Why am I not surprised! Thanks, ill talk to him about it

Problem solved, this gen set is only 5000 euros on vrm.. Shipped.. Lol, oh my lord

I can't believe I never noticed that extra long hour hand,, I have a set on the way from Michael young but I don't think they have that feature,, oh well I will have a little more time to get it right as the 6538 is happening first.

By the way was reading an article on rpr that was talking about what I'm pretty sure was a Minh dial. They have to use Geiger meters to know if they are gen, I'd say the dials are getting a lot better these days http://rolexpassionreport.com/8112/be-aware-of-the-new-generation-redone-fake-vintage-rolex-dials-that-are-coming-to-the-market/

I just told my dogs what you guys are saying and they don't like it!

Thanks Denimhead, I Have a small business that I run with a friend. More importantly I'm not married and don't have kids, that's why I have the extra money to spend on this stuff! Trust me if I was married and had kids there's no way I'd be able to get away with spending most of my money on watches.

You know, that one month of summer between winter and winter lol

Lol, I never seem to fall in love with the other crown guard models as much as these. Something very special about them! I wish I was older and fell in love with them in the 70's/80's when the gens could be had for very little $. Now aside from my 5508 and hopefully a future 6536/1 I don't think I will ever be able to spend 30-40+ thousand on one

Looks a bit like some old no crown guard subs that had radium on the dials, it seemed to literally fry the dials and hands sometimes. Here's one,, 1680's didn't have radium though

Few pics of the gen 6538 four line red depth that ill be attempting to make. This is going to use his 6538 case and a 1030 movement.

Wow Joey, awesome 6204!! Well, the saga continues... I've been emailing Minh back and forth all night trying to chose my dial. I wanted this one (pic 2) but he said they had none left. He offered me the one in the first pic but it wasn't up to par at all imo. So after a bunch of back and forth I settled on this dial (third pic) which is for a 6538. I guess it makes sense in hindsight to build the watch around the dial and that I made the mistake of choosing the model I wanted before knowing if there was a great dial to use with it. A 6538 is still a grail of mine and a big crown so Ill be happy. I still really really like the simplicity of the 6200 dial's and will make one when Minh gets the exact dial I want in the future.
