I undertand, this DW daytona is a beautiful high end rep, far better than our modded silix. Cheers !

Thanks ! 1,5 hours of lume job [emoji51] [emoji632]

Yes my friend, it was a nice journey. Is your watch still in good shape ? [emoji632]

I sincerely appreciates a compliment from you. If we think the same modder, I don't like some of his work. Sometime he make a botch work. The dial before assembly [emoji632]

obviously. Dial and hands. [emoji632]

Today I want to introduce a new 6538. I bought this watch in August 2015, before discovering the existence of replicas forums. I quickly ordered a HR dial with Rolex logo, a patent crown and a red triangle insert. It's a beautiful watch but I have almost never worn. Many details bothered me too. Bezel profile too wide, thick case, low placement of the crown, wide crown. This summer, I was about to put on sale when @rolojack presented the same modified watch. A beautiful work of his hand, as usual. So I chose to keep it and to entrust him. His work on case and bezel is beautiful. Look at this profiles ! But I prefer a less aged insert and a true gilt dial. So I make a new gilt dial with gold leaf, recut the crown, prepared another insert and added a Athaya pearl. I know how to make a nice dial, but I need more practice in insert aging Thanks for reading !

Thank you my friend [emoji1303] [emoji632]

If I find time, when all my projects are completed Meanwhile here is a new gilt 6538 with gold leaf improvement ready to be put in case. [emoji632]

Gold vs brass [emoji632]

Thanks mate ! Its just a vulgar DIY, far far away from the quality of your project.

Can't see any bad things in this beauty. you're probably right [emoji632]

[emoji632]

Thanks all ! then someone to discover the hidden fantasy ? [emoji632]

Ok will ask.

Yeah the gold leaf effect is better than brassed plate. I will prepare a new 6538 dial with it. Is this small arrow hand fit ETA GMT pinion ?
