So I fitted a t39 to my 5513 today, no distortion on the edges /rehaut like I had with the Clark's t19, it's a bit tall but it's a really tight fit and passed pressure testing with flying colours,

Bad photos but just put this new dial and hands in my 5513,

That's a bit above my pay grade , I'll just have to live with it I think

I had no response either which is a shame as there was a nice 6538 4 liner that I had my eye on.

I think I'm going to order a couple 2836 cases, plug the tube hole, re-drill in the 2824 position and see what happens...

How do you plug the hole, it would be good to do that on my HR 6538 case

I'd better make some nice food or something today as I have a day off, little does she know that I'm on the hunt for a 1030 movement now

So I had a bit of trouble with the new big crown last night, I was staring at it and flicking the light off of the gilt dial and admiring my grail watch and the wife got the hump with me and asked if I was bored and why am I staring at the time constantly,
I tried to explain that I was just admiring the watch I'd built, she didn't get It, she then said 'So much for date night then you sad w@nker
And then took herself off to the spare room.
Oops

Thanks guys, I've ordered a big ball second hand from HR, very reasonably priced too, $10 posted , I'll age it to match, I used an HR second hand on my 6200 as well and think it'll be a nice addition to the 6538

Stunning work mate

So after practicing builds with silix and he cases I finally took the plunge and got a nice Vietnam case and dial and put together a nice 6538 sub.

I used a 2824 movement with h4 cannon pinion

I sanded the nickel plating from the bezel and aged the insert a bit and added an athaya pearl (the colour dried lighter than I wanted tho)

I aged the hands (maybe too much) and I think I will add a big ball second hand soon,

Overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out

That looks really good

Had a bit of a go at the cg's, not being too ambitious with the shape for my first attempt, softened up the case a bit too.
