:wave: Hi there fellas, I've got myself a cool new build here... my Helenarou Rolex 6538 aged by DAZ :thumbsup:


This is a short pictorial review of this beautiful vintage timepiece.
DAZ did a wonderful job here, true pal and artist... big thanks to you mate :cheers:

A bit of info, here... you can find information on the differences between 2-liner vs. 4-liner, if you are not familiar with the terms.

Yes, I believe Connery wore a 4-liner... I am more of a fan of the 2.





SPECS:

The 6538 is a Helenarou case with engravings,
HR dial with smoke age, texture and vintage relume,
HR hands aged and relumed,
Yuki pearl and relume,
Bezel bleached and modded for pearl to fit,
BCL plexi dome fitted with original crystal gasket to ensure WP,
Nickle-plated seagull eta clone movement


Check out the pics and enjoy. Please share any feedback here. For now this watch will sit as is, can't think of any possible mods for this other than gen parts... those are damn expensive.









































































Thanks for checking it out guys, cheers!

Very nice, Denis. One of the nicest builds out there. Very sexy.

I'm putting together similar build on HR engraved case. I purchase 7922 engraved but got 6538 so I'm changing build.

Dial work by Daz? Looks like his work. Is that the HR insert? I couldn't get mine to fade much after more than half hour in bleach.

In some photos crystal looks like Plexi. What crystal did you use?

Thanks pal :cheers:


Reach out to Daz, he can answer your questions better than me since he sourced all the parts himself.

I've sold two 6538's and a 7924 and now I'm doing builds again. Granted I had to sell to pay bills, but my point is once you sell you're going to want to build one again.

Save yourself the time and effort and keep it..if you can.
