woof* Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Beautiful You haven't been around in awhile...I wondered how this was going, tell us the specs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6541 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 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.

woof* Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6541 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Nothing about it was cheap However, I am very pleased with how it worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Great watch !! Congratulations I always loved the 6541, but finding a correct dial & hand set is pretty difficult... [off topic] So, finally, JoJo knows how to send a dial without damaging it ? Interesting... [/off topic] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6541 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 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.

woof* Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
