Hello gang,
Finnaly competed this one. Had lot's of problems here and lot's of waiting,but finnaly done. Actually this is my very first attempt to build 6152,so letting it go for your judgement :?
MOVEMENT:
Cortebert 624 It was fully serviced by authorized Rolex dealer in US (doubled checked in my country). Clean as heaven, runs perfectly.
DIAL:
this is SOUTHY 4-liner dial. All finish by me. Aplied 3 colour on it to achieve
light redish colour with texture. Made crackled numerals.
HANDS:
this part was damned! ordered tall tube from Athaya (did not fit), tried to modify them, broke them :evil: . Then took 6497 pencil hands, modified them and whualla,fits perfectly (only not high tube
)
PLEXI:
Q25, i love it !! :thumbup:
CASE:
Jackson new case, just throw out stock bezel and plexi and instaled 2 pcs bezel. Well actually there is 3 pcs bezel,because i had a problem with extra space inside from dial to bezel,so inserted modified metal ring there.
Brass modified movement ring.Also modified a bit CG and lever,because stock one is not so good :roll:
BUCKLE:
This is one of a kind,special order (thanks to Uwe). Buckle is made from bronze and engraved GPF mod.dep (backside), and on front side 6152-1)
STRAP: this strap was made from Brithish army leather ammo pouches
from World War II. Strap is thick (~7mm), but very very soft and
confortable. Heavy aged and with burned decorations. (all my job here)
Inspiration i took from this one:
and here is mine, but i think i'll let it go soon,because when placed on my wrist..it's too small for my whole hand :
Thanks for watching :thumbup:
