Hey guys,
So I recently built this for a friend of mine who decided that he wanted one of my v72 Daytona builds instead so I ended up keeping this. Good thing too because a lot of work went into making this piece what it is. And to be honest I was super happy to keep it specs below. My favorite thing about this build is the gen spec case with Faraday cage. Only some 200 gens were made and all had serial starting at 412,xxx - and important thing to note when attempting this build.
For me the 6541 is very special because I'm a science nerd and the fact that Rolex designed the movement to fit inside a Faraday case then into the oyster case is freaking awesome!

Dial: 6541 honeycomb dial (by MQ refinished on GEN Singer plates) - aged and vintage lumed
