Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Report 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
cc33 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Looks fantastic! Glws this will be gone in 8 secs
Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Posted July 16, 2013 This ones already taked by a member he requested I do the work for him and is off on its way to him tomorrow
cc33 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Oh ok sorry I thought it was in the sales section. That member is going to be thrilled you did an amazing job
fraggle42 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Why is the seconds hand really white and looks brand new and the hour & minute hands look aged? Looks odd.

Looks odd. The seconds hand is painted white. The minute and hour hands are bare metal ..

Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Posted July 16, 2013 I still think it looks sweeeeeeeeet

(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!)
Nanuq Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Spectacular work, Big D! Boy my Big Gonzo 6538 build better look about 5x better than this, cause that's how much I'll have in it!
Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Posted July 16, 2013 No offence taken Fraggle its all in good fun It'll look spectacular Nanuq! Keep the faith 1
denimhead Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Very nice as always D, Looking forward to getting my 1016 parts over to you for the build! Cheers M
Nanuq Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Is that a Helenrou insert? Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry tasty!
panerai153 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 This one looks great!!! I'm sure the owner will be thrilled to have this one.
Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Posted July 16, 2013 I believe it is the HR stock insert. It looks smashing with the acrylic pearl
freddy333 Posted July 16, 2013 Report 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.
rower Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 That looks fantastic. More details on the dial, hands, etc. Thank you for sharing!
Big Dazza Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report 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
ogladio Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 Great work Daz, really impressive! Would be nice with a profile shot
