Toadtorrent Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Beautiful. Is that the Brevet crown? Nice pics too. What's the story on the bracelet? Why did Rolex do that taper on the clasp connecting links? I like that wrist shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on a true keeper, enjoy and wear in good health Nice work Freddy! Lovely freddy! Just plain lovely. "luv your work" Offshore Thanks all. This watch, while a classic, is just a carrying case for its 1035 movement, which will ultimately end up in my other 6542 project (when I locate the last part I need to complete the gmt conversion). The watch has been sitting (in pieces) on my bench ever since I rebuilt the movement, but I finally decided that I might as well put it together & get some use out of it as it may be some time before I locate the missing part.

Why did Rolex do that taper on the clasp connecting links? I like that wrist shot. Thanks. No, the Brevet is for my 6536 Sub project, which is complete save for the exception case I ordered (over 2 months ago) from the always slow-as-molasses Silix boys). The bracelet is a riveted 7205/57, which was shortened (by a previous owner) without any apparent regard to maintaining the bracelet's intended taper.

freddy333 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks all. I had planned to do a mini-picture-tutorial showing some of the reassembly highlights, but, unfortunately, my camera's batteries died right after I installed the train bridge. But here is a picture of the partially assembled calibre And a glam shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks Freddy. Kinda bittersweet to see the names of members that have moved on, though their words still inspire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
