6265 big red

[cc33]

I finally got my 6265 daytona complete and returned to me. It cost a lot and took a fair amount of time to get it right but it was worth it. Special thanks to Valty, thank you sir, I couldn't have done it without your help! Specs are v726, phong mid case and case back, gen pushers, gen crown/tube, gen bezel, gen sd t21, gen big red dial and gen tritium hands, gen 571 ends and 78350 band. I will add a few more pics when I have time to take more, here are a few from today.

Very nice, cc33!  Lots of character in those 'dirty' registers!

 

When you post additional pics, could you take a straight side profile? 

[cc33]

Thanks, I love those subdials! you're right lots of character. Yes I can take a side shot np

I would get a gen folded or rivet bracelet to top it off right.

Don't know if I've ever seen a more ambitious (and guess expensive) project. Well collected! Needless to say, it looks bloody darn great. I can't stop looking and will go to bed extremely envious.

Thanks a lot everyone! I actually sold a big crown build to fund this, I just have to get used to the manual wind again now

You know, you could add an 8mm Brevet crown and make this an 8285 .......   

 

That's a spectacular hunk of steel there, my friend.  I love those subdials.
