meadowsweet_ Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philwongnz Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irate03 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
