Another 6265 "Big Red"

[polexpete]

Hi guys,

               ok so here's another 6265 Big Red to check out. Its not quite in the same league as Valty's amazing piece but i am happy with the way it turned out. As usual with these builds nothing was easy. This was originally built with a silver dial but the V72 movement needed a rebuild and parts so off it went to The Zigmeister who did an amazing job with it. Thanks The Zigmeister ! 

 

I also brought a black "Big Red" dial off of Laser3000 which he had Phong make at great cost and trouble to himself. Gen crown was wonky so i replaced it with another and put it on straight. Subdials were too white so i aged them to a more dirty white using soft pencil lead on a Q-tip. The lume dots are too small and the one a '6' fell off. I will have them fixed one day.

 

Specs are:

 

- Phong case engraved 5 million serial number

 

- JLC V72 rebuilt by The Zigmeister. Crappy Rolex 5 line bridge

 

- Phong dial with gen crown Phong hands

 

- Gen 78350 bracelet with 557 endlinks. Correct 571 won't fit Phong case

 

- Gen 703 Crown and tube. Phong pushers

 

- Gen tropic 21

 

ok here the pics:
