Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hey as most guys here probably know I do love the big crown models be it Tudor or Rolex, after the Silix case disappeared I havent really seen anything cost effective until a few guys here have sent me their Helenrou 6538s for modding, once completed they look absolutely fantastic: Plexi crystal installed, aged insert, acrylic pearl with relume and relumed/aged dial and hands with some vintage texture Love the feel of it so much i've plunged into getting the Tudor version for myself, now comes the wait to get my parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Why is the seconds hand really white and looks brand new and the hour & minute hands look aged? Looks odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I think it looks dead on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Why is the seconds hand really white and looks brand new and the hour & minute hands look aged? Looks odd. The seconds hand is painted white. The minute and hour hands are bare metal .. (gilded) I think it looks dead on He doesn't understand how it's supposed to look, and why it looks that way.

fraggle42 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 The seconds hand is painted white. The minute and hour hands are bare metal .. (gilded) Ah, the gen looks like that. That explains it then. I still think it looks odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I still think it looks sweeeeeeeeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I think it looks dead on Sorry, it wasn't a criticism, it was just a question. (like / dislike of any watch is a subjective matter so it makes no sense for me to criticise anyone elses taste, I can just say how I feel about a watch!)

mellons Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 This case set needs an aftermarket plexi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 This one looks great!!! I'm sure the owner will be thrilled to have this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I believe it is the HR stock insert. It looks smashing with the acrylic pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 How is the case profile (height)? That is usually the shortcoming of rep cases that spell their downfall for any serious construction consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rower Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 That looks fantastic. More details on the dial, hands, etc. Thank you for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 not too sure how the profile matches gen to be totally honest. Hands and dial are from Helenrou and aged and relumed by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Great work Daz, really impressive! Would be nice with a profile shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
