Don't use a phone on a smalband internet operator....

Building a gen small crown 6536 it is! I have a pristine long 5 insert but this one looks a lot better.

Jup I asked a price, it was only 6000 euro's.....It's a well known member on VRF btw

Emanuele, from VRF sold me a gen early service dial for 1000 euro, I can live with that. A dial from Ivan was an option but to expensive and not gen.

Saw that service dial from E, wasn't bad. 6000 is about right for that gilt dial, even though it's kind of unaffordable.

I wanted to start a very low cost 6536/1, build with gen parts under 5000 euro without the bracelet. It's doable but you have to wait a very long time to have the right parts for the right money.

Just need a 1030 movement and hands to complete the build
