polexpete Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 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: Thanks for looking P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
