Thank you Mike! You're close!

Phong case reworked to get massive chamfer associated with these big crowns
Phong bezel assembly
Gen crown
Gen hands from a gen big crown
Gen 1030 movement, serviced running COSC +2 sec/day from a gen big crown
Engravings to match a 1958 big crown
MQ top grade dial aged over 7 years by the maker (who actually forgot about it). Notice the incredibly cool patina with water spots from the humidity.
Dial relumed with tritium : luminova mix to match hands and pearl.

This build was more expensive than most Daytonas. Which is saying a lot given that a gen spec Daytona is a costly build.

It doesn't just tell time. It tells history.

So I finished this one today, I aged a raffles dial but it's not my favourite, I have a better dial on its way to me but for now

There would be less road rage in France if everyone had a 6538 gilt to look at while sitting in traffic!

Beauty Bart!

it's dangerous!!!! when I had my gen spec 6538 that I got from @droptopman I almost got in so many fender benders staring at the sunlight reflecting off the watch face in different angles while holding the steering wheel!!!

So today I had to take my 6538 apart as it had a big white spec on the dial, well big when photographed or looked at under a loupe but it was bugging me all the same, now I am happy

I finished a new case today, much better than my 1st one, a bit smoother, lightly faded insert and new strap




I'm going to try a higher end build next once I get all the parts organised
