ebzen02 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 So I have been in search of the best 6152 case for about a year now. Back in January I finished this case for a friend of mine and fellow modder/dial extraordinaire that I thought came close to that illusive pillow shape. I kinda didn't want to give the case..lol!! Anyhow, here are the pics.. The whole watch is not complete. This watch will truely be special when it's done because it will have a three part dial like gen and a bigger CG modeled after a Marina Militare 6152. Better plexi, bronze crown tube, etc.. It is going to be one sweet watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Mate that looks great ..It looks like you had to take a fair bit off the top of the case looking at the bezel edges? I really like the relationship of the lugs to the edges of the case... So is the 3 parter a one off? And how long have you been at that because the polished finish in relation to the amount of shaping looks really good Look forward to seeing the finished product especially the CG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebzen02 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 This is my 3rd 6152 case. I have done a couple of 6154. Once you do a 6154, you can do any..lol..a big PIA!!! Anyhow, the 3 piece and CG as far as I know it is a one of for this case at this time. The corners contours are important and take a look of visualizing. I put more time into research and looking than reshaping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebzen02 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 The second pic details the corner and how I think it should look like a bit angled towards the center of the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It really is very nice mate...I like the way the 3 surfaces meet at the corners of the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Is this the one we were talking about? If so I will have to take you up on your offer You see what I meant when I was talking about the rounded sides by the crown guard. You hit it right on the spot with this one. Excellent work either way!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
