I'm trying to post pics of my Big Crown, but the image uploaded won't work. Why is it so damn complicated and frustrating to simply post a picture here?!? Every other forum uses straightforward, easy to use uploading programs or apps. Smh.....
Nothing should be this difficult.
Maybe I'm the only idiot who cant make it work...
Heres the link to my watch....

Ok, joined the Big Crown club today. Just picked up this 6538. Big Dazza build and dial in a helenarou case with a 2824 clone movement and HR lollipop hand set.

So here I go again after a long wait for HR to complete my order of a 6200 dial. I’m quite happy with the outcome except for that weird overlapping seconds hand.
I found a great guy here in Hungary to do the modding job for me. He might be able to pinch off the excess length. Have you guys ever dealt a similar issue though?

Nevertheless things are coming along nicely!

So far the part list is the following.

- Silix case, bezel and insert

- Athaya crown and pearl (if I decide to add one)

- HR dial and golden hands set

- ETA 2846 movement

- T21 plexi

That gloss luster on the dial is amazing! It appears to be a pad or screen printed dial I assume.

Thanks I wanted to have that glossy look, it’s an HR dial by the way. So I assume it’s a pad printed one.
