donerix Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 It's a PT donor watch with an ImGod dial, NDT bezel and insert and Clark 25-116 crystal. It's not for sale (I am putting it together for a great member at another forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not for sale (I am putting it together for a great member at another forum) are those dials still available? and is the PT case a good base? or should one go with one of the more expensive ones (Yuki, etc.)? because this is definitely one of my favourite watches ever! (looks great by the way! ) cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I am not an expert, but IMO the Yuki case is just as wok-ish as the PT, but a lot more money and you can use the movement, DW, hands and great bracelet of the PT. I think InGod still has the dial (I already bought two from him). I know some people say that lug holes are out of place on the PT, but I don't think it's that bad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bones Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 so tempted, but your looking at a $780 just for base watch, dial and bezel assembly. Not including crystal and any gen parts you may want to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bones Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'm also curious if the NDT bezel/insert was aged or it that was how it came supplied? How about the ingod dial as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I aged the NDT bezel (to bring out the brass) and I took down the highest part of the insert (it's a bit too high compared to gen pics), still need to round of the edge where it drops off, but it is easy to sand and polish. I didn't touch the ImGod dial, it was perfect IMO, but I aged the hands to match the gilt dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bones Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Man, if I didn't respect the work of the master modders on here so much I would absolutely be pumping you for exact details on how to do all the steps so I could replicate for myself. But I understand that a person also has the right to safeguard his techniques. Awesome work anyway Don. Do you think you could get roughly the same results using just the PT stock watch?

donerix Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 bones: Honestly I think the bezel and dial are what makes the big difference. I know that these two items cost twice as much as the base watch, but after wearing this baby for a few days I hate to say this: it's worth spending the money (until they come up with a better version (and I wouldn't hold my breath for that)...

ipreferpie Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Wow! Reducing the rehaut makes a big difference. I've actually been working with PBDad in making the 6542. But the project has been halted for almost 6 months due to Silix not making the ROLS176 case in 38mm anymore. But recently, I contacted Jee and he said that there's a case that is 38-39mm, no crownguard and coin bezel with a smaller rehaut. I'm going to check out the ROL245 to see if it does indeed work. Does anyone know if the PT/ImGod combo would be the same as the Silix case with a NDT dial? Would love to finish this project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Boy donerix, now you have me going again! Since I had the white 6542 serviced, it's been just sitting in the watch box. I've thought of trying the Josh 1655 case and removing the cg's, installing a bezel- that NDT one would work I would think, and going that route. But I really like your results- looks a lot like my grail go by watch I really like what you did with the rehaut- no more wok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Sorry to thread-crap guys, but does anyone know whether swapping the datewheel with one from a turn-o-graph is OK (the roulette one with white background), as my white 6542 apparently comes with its odd days red instead of even, unlike donerix's gilt dial stock version...

donerix Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 And the 6542 craze continues: Alone at home and searching for stuff on ebay I came across this gen 6542 mid case: I just bid thinking that somebody is gonna bid a lot more anyway, but ended up winning the auction, so now I am stuck with a Franken project that will probably bankrupt me. Where to get a case back? And the one correct crown I saw was almost $400 ............... arghhhh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
