Very cool, great case work. I was going to remove the CGs on my Albino 126710 but ended up leaving them.My 6542 homage build:

You should do it. Imho the watch looks so much better without CG and with the chamfered lugs. It looses that bulky appereance and looks a lot classier.
I do love the white second hand, too. It makes a difference.

. KJ2020 gave me some tips to spray them but it’s very tricky. Ado213 did the hand painting and also the bezel and crystal installs, top work.

This model is from the era before platinum Rolexes could have fluted bezels. I swapped the dial/hands/movement into a fluted bezel case. I like it!
