flyback Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Following are pics of my 6152/1. What do you think of it ? Comments (good or bad) are welcome That's a Davidsen case and dial with a swiss 6497 and a savage strap. Redone myself the dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubeistan Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 It looks very nice. What did you do on the dial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyback Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) It looks very nice. What did you do on the dial? I have removed Davidsen lume that was a little bit yellow and repaint the dial with translucent yellow/orange paint (that is difficult to see in the pictures but it's translucent).

l3x Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I like it. Great watch and strap combo. But would look even better (to me) if the numbers weren't as redish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 a beautiful watch, but the indices are a little bit too redish while the hands are too white. looks grat on this strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectologist Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I love 6152/1 projects. Your's turned out great, but have to agree with others and suggest toning down the reddish orange in the indices and maybe make it a little uneven. Congratulations and well done!

RWG Technical Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Good work, I agree on the numbers, a bit less red and more of a tan/ochre colour would be nice. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDBroucke Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 nice start loks good the numerals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBison Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 if you like the indices i say go with it, lovely match with the strap. the hands on the other hand are another story being bright white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibuti Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Agree with upper guys about numerals, too. Aging a bit of dial hands might help... Nice to see a watch case hanging on that huge CG... Good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
