Valty Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Thank you! I'm almost done getting the parts together for a 4 liner 6538 build This is too much BC's for one guy mate... Sell one to me, sell one to me
cc33 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 I might sell one of them one of these days, but for now I'm having way too much fun. This is the dial for the next build. Have a phong case and gen 8mm crown. Im still looking for a gen bezel and 1030
Athaya Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 Hi Adrian, Welcome onboard, just a quick Thank you for the fantastic service you provided supplying the 2 brevet crowns i purchased from you a while ago. Nanuq has The Zigmeister fitted it on that 6538 yet??? @denihhead, thank you @cc33, the dial looks hot... oh man.. you will just hurt my wallet more
ck5533 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 @cc33, the dial looks hot... oh man.. you will just hurt my wallet more + 1. Like to get hold of one if the price is right for my wallet.
stolikat Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Great thread here! Welcome and looking forward to more of these posts!!
red series 3 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Welcome to RWG Athaya, Thank you for the pics. I was going to ask whether anybody has tried to finish the rear of these crowns with the flower petal look that is seen on the rear of genuine crowns. I find it looks great! The way the gen crowns reflection refracts light is something quite fancy. I've grown attached to my 700 crown for the same reason. It reminds of the way the rehaut reflects the dial markers on genuine subs. I was amazed when I bought a gen 16610LV how much better it looked than a rep in this area. I've got a planned method I was going to try to add this to your 6154 crown when the case set arrives. Could it be done at manufacturing? Edited March 14, 2013 by Red Series 3
flex Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 i cant wait to see the finished product! the tiger case set looks a abit like those Cartel vintage sub. wish smebody could post their yuki build for comparison. last i asked Yuki about the price - he said its 800 with customised engraving. phong's would be around 1250?

I am sure if Athaya can perfect the flaws on phong case, he will go ahead with this project in no time. So calling all the Rolex pros for more accurate inputs. Best of all, he asking price will be very affordable.......fingers crossed.

Ephry73 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Imagine if Adrian can get the 6538 case done with the correct slim side profile and straight lugs? I would sign up for at least two. One for the Bond homage and the other for the 5510. E
mac1914 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 This looks Great!!! What bezel is on this? Looks nice and Brassy, is it a Gen?. Mac The 1030 is what that case was made for so a skilled watchmaker should be able to fit it in for you. The dial is very important, I can reccomend a good one based on your price range. Gl with it!

freddy333 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 That's what I thought. I was hoping there was a revision 2 available with gen like bezel construction. Please do not re-quote an entire post (especially, when it is right above yours) just to add a line or 2.
freddy333 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 There is only 1 word to describe this dial - swell. The fonts look almost dead-on.

Max72 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 Can't see the pictures in the first post...
outline Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Where can i get a very good quality 6538 case?
