Simonix 8,661 Posted September 3, 2020 As well as the 6154 I am building (new dial on order, and 616 to fit), I have also got a 6152/1 on the go. Build as follows: DSN Case set & CG - Aged & polished by me (no shaping, I'm just not that good!) T25 Plexi. NW hands - Aged by me. Cheap MM dial - Aged and vintage lume by me. NW case back. Zeppelin Craft Ammo strap. I have a LPMM with sub dial dial coming from NW so I can have another attempt. But for now, this is how it looks: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tribefan 6,768 Posted September 3, 2020 That is really nice. Love the aged hands, scraped dial, aged lume. You are doing some nice builds S. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simonix 8,661 Posted September 5, 2020 Second dial made for the 6152. Currently gone for “tobacco sunburst” effect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simonix 8,661 Posted September 15, 2020 So, I had a go at reshaping the case. As you can see below, the shape was way off and nothing like a 6152. Case had squared sides, Lugs all pointy, etc. Now, after some rather scary filing and sanding, I have achieved this. Still way off and nothing like a 6152 hahaha! But at least it’s getting there. Also painted up another dial for it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mellons 912 Posted September 15, 2020 Looking good! That case is really hard to get a decent shape out of, imo the best ine is nightwatch - superb and v close to gen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like you say, the shape is so far out on the DSN case? Would love a NW, but they are double the price at least! 9 hours ago, tribefan said: Your dial work is great. You really dialed that in. Cheers pal. I have 15 dials on their way to me from a member on the HF forum! Plenty for me to practise more and more on.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
