The first gen spec albino 6536 build. Complete with ghost insert [emoji6] dial is one-off. Built with an extremely thin gen spec case and Rolex caliber 1030. There is only one reference of the gen (a prototype). Guess now there are two [emoji57]

I've always had a love-affair with albino subs, well, all albino watches for that matter. Last year 6204/05 caught my eyes, but when I brought it up to my friend @TheSociety, he in his infinite Rolex wisdom advised me that instead of a bubbleback 6204, I can go for a 6536 albino with a robust-er 1030 movement.
I didn't even know he was building it and one day all of a sudden, he sent me some picture of this watch. it wasn't anything unusual or so I thought, because it's pretty common for him to send me pics of cars and watches, but I had no idea that he had completed this mesmerizing, beautiful piece of art.

Right now, I want to go home and retrieve it from my mailbox and she will indeed be travelling with me this thanksgiving to the great city of New York.
With this, another strike in my wishlist!

Cheers,
Saby

Who wants a 5514 COMEX with correct recessed HEV case? Fun fact all 5514 comes with 5513 caseback - and yes it is fully waterproof for swimming ;) How's that for a vintage?! [emoji6]

@TheSociety have a 1680, and thinking of buying a used 1570 movement would you be interested in installing?

I think Rolex would be proud of the justice which you're doing their watches.
That is an absolute stunner, it's surprising that this wasn't a factory colour option to have as it looks amazing.
How did you ghost the insert, a long bleaching of a standard black insert?
