Imho this watch deserves a thread since it's the only rep dial which has been modded to have a tropical look. I've done quite a bit of research on no crown guards Submariners lately. A thought was building a franken by using Phong's midcase, ETA 2846, Minq dial... Well maybe in sooner or further future. I ended up getting this a lot more inexpensive version of the 6538. A Phong franken would've easily set me 1800€ back if not even more. At first when it arrived yesterday I thought hmm cool watch but I'm not really feeling the love. I was sitting at the dining table and was opening the parcel when a light ray was shining inside.. And there I saw it. This was awesome, everything I was hoping for when I bought this watch. The tropical dial has got so many facets depending on different lighting and surrounding. It's simply astonishing. Ingredients: Cartel 6538 Sub with clone 2836 movement Sternkreuz Tropic shaved to correct height and fitted Athaya Brevet crown and tube (case redrilled to fit Athaya tube into the case) Lug holes drilled to accept gen spec spring bars Hands and dial relumed Dial aged and treated to a tropical brown Insert aged Case aged and polished Rivet bracelet Hope you liked it
