Submariner 6538

Recommended Posts

So after practicing builds with silix and he cases I finally took the plunge and got a nice Vietnam case and dial and put together a nice 6538 sub.

I used a 2824 movement with h4 cannon pinion

I sanded the nickel plating from the bezel and aged the insert a bit and added an athaya pearl (the colour dried lighter than I wanted tho)

I aged the hands (maybe too much) and I think I will add a big ball second hand soon,

Overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned outb15e09a274ed38c1441c6970a6fc7715.jpg7e60448845802be35b47f529ef7729d5.jpg2c988621d297dd239214f079b1686af9.jpg80d327c864ac7ef6bab2241e50a59b2a.jpg740a02f2ec30d4f67327324a28de742a.jpg049726d4afe89b495285530d69dabd89.jpg30c8976287a014fa33d47446ebd074d5.jpg591353c6a0e5fbe11f74a5b127446b91.jpga0f085133f9732beadbe90fddafc1951.jpg

So I had a bit of trouble with the new big crown last night, I was staring at it and flicking the light off of the gilt dial and admiring my grail watch and the wife got the hump with me and asked if I was bored and why am I staring at the time constantly,
I tried to explain that I was just admiring the watch I'd built, she didn't get It, she then said 'So much for date night then you sad w@nker
And then took herself off to the spare room.
