And a PN 6239 to complement the 6240 :) This one built by well-known resident maestro kilowattore himself! Obviously, I couldn't match the 6240 (earlier post) in terms of specs simply due to stratospheric costs on many 6239 gen parts, but it's still equipped with a rock-solid V72, correct gen hour/min hands, plexi, crown/tube and pushers, a gen coronet on the dial and a lovely gen 7205 bracelet with 60 ELs. The dial, mid-case, bezel and sub-reg hands are a mix of MQ/Phong bits. I'll strive to replace some of these with gen parts over time. Still, the many hours of painstaking work on function, coherence and patina by kilowattore has paid off obviously! Also obvious is the fact that the above pics are his...gold standard in watch-photography.
