Hi guys, long time no post, just got back from the US on business so I get to open all my goodies, This Silix I bought!
First thing I did was whack that classic NATO on,
I will open it up and ask for your opinion on movement but the dial and hands I'll be going for are Raffles and Tiger.

Expert needed: I have a loose bezel, the fit is fine but has not got a solid click so can rotate far too easily, anyone got a simple fix thread I can look into.

Thanks now that I've had a bit of practice I'm going to do one with a better case, not sure which case yet, I would like to do it with a genuine movement but my finances won't stretch that far so it'll be a yuki case but I'll use an athaya crown as yuki's crown is $250 against athaya's at $35 .
I'll need to do a bit of work on the yuki case though. Not sure which eta movement I'll need but that's next on the list

Great project !
I often read 5510 yuki case is better than his 6538.
Athaya crown is the best after gen.

I've just asked for the price on both of those , I think I'm going to use this dial and it comes with hands.

Building this for @aphillippe - it took a minute to get the bezel aged properly but I think it turned out killer!

Hi guys,
I'm pleased to come here. Got this beauty yesterday noon from yllekp, a true gentleman sure!:smile:
Just resized at the clasp, I've been lucky, no needed to remove links from the riveted bracelet!!:bless:
And took some pics (too??) quickly. Enjoy:

The famous @TheSociety 6538 tropical big crown, which to my good fortune, dwells in my little humble home...

this gen movement is accurate to seconds and it runs like a horse, I love it to bits.
The only thing is, why did I not find this club earlier :)
Cheers
