irate03 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) My inspiration. 6152 angelus with arrow hands. River 6154 case heavily reshaped. (6152 shape cases are very difficult to find now especially one's that accept third party components) Athaya 8mm V2 crown + tube, case soldered around tube. dial, painted, resin filled and lumed. GEN angelus hands cleaned of radium (CAREFULLY....it was looking loose and unstable) broached to fit 6497, heat treated. powered by a cortebert 6497 with H3 set fitted. strap aged new leather made by me with an Elias brass buckle. gen shot my build Edited May 26, 2014 by irate03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Great job! But I'm also interested about the box below. Do you know what it means (it's my native language)? Is it original? And if so where the heck did you find it? :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irate03 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 The colour of the hands were scraping down the chalkboard of my OCD so I stripped them back and heat treated them again.... Now I am content. quick new photoshoot.Boxes are hand aged.Case is a reshaped River 6154, crown replaced with an Athaya V2 gen shapeDial is painted, filled and lumed by meHands are GEN Angelus hands, taken from an angelus travel clock. Sadly I didn't get the movement just the hands. I had to (carefully) remove the Radium completely before I broached the holes to fit the 6497, as a result I had to sand back to base steel and heat treat them to get the warm colour.movement is a vintage branded cortebert Swiss 6497strap is new leather aged and put together by me with an Elias aged brass buckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
