randy3y 0 Posted January 27, 2011 Very nice - really like the dial base color-background. I still want you to do something for me one of these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC 4,504 Posted January 27, 2011 you sir are an artist... from your first thread here on rwg (because i haven't seen any of your other posts on other fora) i knew you were in a class all your own. Truly amazing work and beautiful results! bravo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted January 27, 2011 spectacular!!! is it the photos or are the hands that close to the dial? I have a couple of Molnija's (3601) - do I remember reading that the canon pins are not very tall on these? Is that what i am seeing? The case looks absolutely perfect, subtle, not beat up, not "nos" - just right for me.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, I have seen many 6154's (not 6152's) with a really close thumb tack hands.. For for a 6154 this would be okay.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 3601 does have a short canon pin however I am currently building another watch whereby there has been a request for a tall canon pin, I'll post some images when its complete...
