meadowsweet_ Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 I have always disliked the over-use of the word "Grail" to describe a watch or a build, but this one certainly has to be up there for me: a 6305 "Ovettone" DateJust with a honeycomb dial. As much as I would like to invest a considerable amount of time and energy into such a build, I've never really seriously considered the endeavor as I've never seen a dial come up for these, gen or rep. I know both NDT and more notably Minh offer pretty nice honeycomb iterations of Milgauss, Explorer, Turn-O-Graph, etc. dials (and I'm guessing probably Tonnywatch now as well), but the 6305 is one I've never seen and was wondering if anyone has ever come across such a dial? Tall order I'm sure, but man, just look at that thing... Would make a helluva franken project imvho...
philwongnz Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 I think DJ in general doesn't seem that highly demanded compared to an Explorer or Milgauss honeycomb. Nice watch indead, but I personally think is a bit niche.
irate03 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Posted April 21, 2016 indeed the 6305 was on my hunt list until I realised how much more they were than a datejust. A build would be amazing as long as it could be made of gen parts including case. I have spoilt myself now with a gen 1971 DJ and my franken tudor
