dbane883 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Well, I think I have finally completed my 6538 sub build. Just replaced the 6636 bracelet from '65 to a "more correct" 1957 6636. Ideally would have liked a 1956 bracelet, but what can you do. The rivet bracelet is near mint and very rare to find in this condition from the mid '50's. I also acquired a genuine bezel. Bezel was lightly aged to reveal the brass. Although it's a service bezel, I really like the profile. Specs:Phong midcase/case backRed depth gilt dial from the dark lord,Gen T17 superdomeGen service bezelGen uber fat font long5 insert Gen 8mm crown/tubeGen '57 6636 expandable bracelet with 58 endlinksGen gilt handsGen 1030 movementI'm putting the tools down now (and my wallet).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub007 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Museum piece quality I´d say ...but luckily I think this one will be getting quite some wrist time. Once you go this road I guess there´s no cutting corners...amazing build !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
