Is it rude of me to say that I'm disappointed every time I see you post when it's not your 6200 with that new, long hour hand? Can't wait to see that thing.

I'm waiting to get it done, I have the hands waiting to be broached and the hour pinion modded.

What would be a good starting model to build my own red triangle big crown sub? Ideally something that can be worn out of the box and improved as time goes on. I am new to the Rolex world so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe something like this, then as you go you could swap the plexi, drill the lugs, better dial etc but it looks pretty good to start

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it.

That's ok, I see you're in the UK as well so if you get stuck with any mods I would be happy to help you out (as long as it's something within my ability to do)

Thanks, I appreciate it. I think you are just up the road from me, if that is Ash near Sandwich that is.

Any tips on where to get a better dial? I'm wanting to create a watch just like yours!

HRis a good place to start, message them and ask about branded rolex dials for the 6538.

I will be back in the Big Crown Club at long last, I have a @big_dazza dial ready to go, raffles hands and I just need to order a T21.

a little contribution regarding the next Phillip's auction:

Edit :

I thought I could give some specs :
- Tiger V3 case
- Raffles 8mm big crown
- A-ETA 2836
- Clark's Hand Set (slightly reworked)
- Helenarou 6200 dial (slightly reworked)
- HW306 x-tal
