Finally done after many months... My 6152/1 Build with tall canon pinion and Cortebert 616. A modest build that took a life of its own Finally done after many months... My 6152/1 Build with tall canon pinion and Cortebert 616. A modest build that took a life of its own and became a black hole of time and money. It isn't historically accurate, but am thoroughly ecstatic with the results. Thanks to all those who in some way inspired and contributed to its construction - Bob, Clint Eastwood, Gordon, Joel, Pablo, and Steffan. Here are the specs:

-Reworked/reshaped DSN 6152 case set
-Genuine Tropic 24 Plexi
-Overhauled and Regulated Cortebert 616
-Custom Tall Canon Pinion
-Okabum Hands with WatchLume Vintage Lume
-Okabum Brass Crown Tube and Crown
-Okabum Crown Guard, modified and refinished
-NW MM 8GB Vintage Brown Dial with WatchLume Vintage Lume
-NW Movement Ring
-NW Thick Exhibition Caseback with Curved Plexi
-Donerix Maggiore Vintage Strap

Apologies for going crazy with all the pictures (Got rid of crappy compressed pics):

Apologies for quality of previous pictures, compression was a bad idea.
Better quality, gratuitous wrist shots:

All you need is a flat mainspring wheel and a rolex engraving and she'll be a diamond. Very nice work.

Likin' the tall CP. Unique look.
The plexi really sets it off too.
Nice strap combo.

I know this is an older thread but I’m so stumped. I need to mod my 616 to have a tall canon pinion and am trying to learn how I can make or buy one?
if you know what I might do to fabricate one I’d be so grateful and might give you some great pam parts I’ve collected a very long time ago but are the best.

thx
