Rolex Milgauss 6541 Build Plan

[6541]

Thanks Nanuq!!

Beautiful

You haven't been around in awhile...I wondered how this was going, tell us the specs!

[6541]

Hey Woof! Specs are...gen 1030 movement, NDT case with nice engraving work (which I forgot to photograph before the band went on), dial from JoJo (I'm not sure where he sourced it from, but the aging of the lume dots is custom), hands and bezel insert from Michael Young, gen tropic 16, gen C+I 20mm expanding rivet bracelet. Finishing touches I'm considering are a 7206 bracelet with 80 ends, which I should have gotten in the first place, and perhaps a trip to someone like PBDad for gentle artificial aging.

That came together great, I'll bet the case wasn't cheap either.

Glad you got it done, I know there's a ton of satisfaction starting with an idea and finishing.

Nothing about it was cheap

However, I am very pleased with how it worked out.

Great watch !! Congratulations

I always loved the 6541, but finding a correct dial & hand set is pretty difficult...

_{^{So, finally, JoJo knows how to send a dial without damaging it ? Interesting...}}

Valty - Michael Young seems to have plenty of hand sets, both aged and not. Completely closed without lume would be better, but that's another story. The dial, on the other hand, might be tricky to find for a 1030/106x.

I saw that dial up for sale when JoJo had it up for sale awhile back.

I seriously almost bought it to put in mine. Glad I didn't now..since youve done better than I would have!
