High grade 6538 build using Phong parts

Recommended Posts

It's been a while since I last took a minute to post pictures of a build, but it's not everyday I get to work with Viet parts these days... And I wanted to share about this one.

 

This is a case retailed by Phong. I reshaped it to have a better angle of brushing on the lugs and create large bevels. The polishing was made to give the feeling of an extremely well kept watch. No new. Not half destroyed. Just right.

 

The crown is form the same dealer, but it was completed with an athaya tube featuring the correct seat shape allowing the crown to seat higher. Dial, hands are from Phong as well. The dial was matte: I tripped it and lacquered it with 3 coats of arylic, and finished it with Vernilline to simulate the patina. A puffy lume job after and voilà ! Bracelet is from Yuki of course, refinished with the mirror polishing inside like seen on early models. Inside beats a swiss slow beat and non hacking behaving like a genuine rolex calibre. A super piece to wear and keep !!!!! Enjoy the pics !

Was the movement modified to accept gen dial feet? I have a 6538 built with a dial by the Dark Lord. It's ticking with a 1030 inside but I'm looking to replace it with a modern low-beat ETA, if and only if I can find an ETA movt to drill to accept the dial feet.


If anyone has any input here besides OP I would appreciate it!

 

Thank you

I have no words to say how much I thank Rolojack for the amazing job he has done on this watch. All the time spent and his precious advice. Really happy and can't wait to wear it.
Another thank to Bart who drive me also in this aventure.

Received yesterday and I must confess I'm completely in love with RJ's work.
Everything is perfect and the watch smell perfection. Dial can be improved by a real gilt but it is definitely the best I can expect from the pieces I've chosen. 88db98194c6bfe9b6244db69947c169c.jpg16ad212d319819b8d69ad95168d1e4f9.jpg
