milgauss ref. 6541 modded from a MBW

Recommended Posts

i have had this one from a reliable member here...

but i have had some spare parts to use (for one other project.... )

so i've started to mod also this one...

lug holes drilled

case softly aged

dial softly aged

tube and crown changed with original rolex spare parts

bezel fixed (MBW did't turn when come here) to be not too many free and not to many hard to turn...

bezel insert changed with a more beautifull insert ( the MBW one was terrible....)

POLEY MBW 6541 modded....

I'm not a Milgauss-expert but looks like great job. It's an exciting model for sure. That lighting bolt second has is way cool.

Thanks for sharing, good pics. This is what this forum should be all about.

I really like what you have done with that watch -- you're right about the insert, it looks MUCH better than the MBW.

You may send it back now.

LOL

great Bill !

do you remember it ? ... eheheh ....now it seems real next to the gen....

as you can see i don't need any more a bezel insert... i forgot to tell you...

the only sad thing is that i think it will seek the same end .... i have many projects to finance...

(sorry for my bad english...)

Well, if you must part this beauty ;) think of me hehehe... lovin' this piece :wub:

i will see the next week what to do....

i hope to keep it ... but i have some problems...

first my wife ....

i have a big safe .... but it's full..... i know... i have many watches.... but i can't maintain the safe password secret to my wife....

so i have bought a second safe... i told her for my work documents..... (ehhehehehe....) she can't know this password....

but i have also this one full....

now i should sell some watches... my choice will fall on reps.... next week i know if one of my friends want some of them.... after we will see

if yes i will put a regular topic in the regular section

i don't want that this topic could seem an advertise ...... for now ( and i hope for ever...) this watch is not for sale.....

:Jumpy:

;)

as you can see i've found some dials for my experiment....

but i want to give to all a preview....

the pics i've posted before come from a modded MBW...

but i have a gen case of this ref. .... yes a gen case.... so i've found a good dial .... a gen crown and a rol*x cal.1030 (1080 cost as a maserati....)

so only for all you my two 6541....

on the left you can see the one with the gen case and the 1030 ( i have no time now to do other pics... in the next time i will show the particulars...)

thanks to classicwatch parts for the bezel and the hands....

Jaw-droppingly stunning M.

I've never seen a c.1030 in such excellent condition before, usually rusted up a little.

Congrats :thumbsupsmileyanim:

it depends from the origin of the movement.... i have had this one from some years... i was waiting only a good "new home" for this one ....

starting this project i would like to use another one but it was into a watch of my wife .... i was planning to put into a "swatch auto movement" and to take it over to use for my franken....eheheh

but thinking better i could be killed .... so i used the one you see....

now i'm thinking new time to the other 1030 to make a 6538.....eheheheh.... if you will read about a man killed in Bologna Italy by a wife you will know why.....

about your 6542 project? mine is becoming the last of the list.....
