Yet another HR 6538 Project

[stevedrk]

Hello, my name is Steve and I'm a big crown-aholic. This is my fourth 6538 build and I have already been collected parts for another. Unfortunately, I have found myself in situations where I've ended up needing to sell, but I'm hoping I'll be able to hold on to this one. I spent more time and effort putting this one together than previous builds and I have been more particular about the parts I've used.

Here are the specs on this one:

• Helenarou engraved case set, slightly aged, corners rounded
• Helenarou red triangle insert, slightly aged
• Bezel aged to allow copper finish to show
• Clark t19 crystal sanded to the height I like
• Helenarou Dial, relumed and slightly aged by Daz
• Tiger handset with big ball second hand, also relumed by Daz
• Swatch branded ETA 2842
• Riyi bracelet (until the NOS rivet I purchased from the bay arrives from Portugal)

Okay, yes, onto the photos. I hope you enjoy. Please note photos do not capture the true character and beauty of this watch.
