Helenrou 6538 Modded by Yours Truely

Recommended Posts

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 :)

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.

Ah, the gen looks like that. That explains it then.

 

I still think it looks odd :D

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!)

Boy my Big Gonzo 6538 build better look about 5x better than this, cause that's how much I'll have in it!  :o
