Wow I haven't visited my thread in a while. Things got interesting here
I still love this watch. I made some further improvements and I think I am finally "done"
Here's the new recipe:
H factory V1 case
Drilled out and added DSN Pre-V crown and tube
Polished rehaut (just a little)
Ultra clear Noob crystal
Swiss 6497 with decorated plates
H1 CP flattened, polished
Mystery cartel CG, polished body
Flattened and polished CG pin
DSN caseback (surprisingly accurate)
Good bye ugly H factory hex tube!!! DSN crown and tube installed. I also lightly polished the rehaut to look a little more like some of the gen reference photos I've seen.
Flattened and polished CG pin
H factory lug profile versus gen 6502
Gen 6502...looks pretty close
Pretty happy with this build. I think it's a keeper
Many thanks to Rolli and FGD
