Wiz 0 Posted October 6, 2011 I finally found the time to finish a personnal project that I've had in mind for a while: A Rolex 6154. I know most Rolex experts agree to say that it is very unlikely the gen of this watch really is gen, but I don't really care, I just like the watch. It took me some time to decide to go on with the project, as I was concerned that 47mm watch would be too big for my wrist, but I after a few months of hesitation I ended up ordering from DSN. When I first tried the watch, it kinds of confirmed my worries about the size: not only it's not a small watch, but it also wears quite big. But I remembered about a post from Nightwatch, where he was creating an edge on the side of the case to make it more gen-like, and thought it could actually be a good trick to make the watch look thinner. I tried to do it from memory, so in the end the result looks nothing like Nightwatch's work, but I managed to acheive my goal, and with that extra edge the watch now looks thinner. After that I tried the watch again, and it was still wearing big, so in order to make it look more discrete I decided to get rid of the polished finish and went for some kind of old-looking brushed finish. Now that I have the right shape and finish, time to add some fancy parts. B) I've always been a fan of Nightwatch's work, so this was the perfect occasion to get one of his open casebacks, and while I was at it I also ordered a brass movement ring. The hands also were bothering me a little, so I completed the package with some Tourby hands. Finally I attacked the aging work. Aged the dial (no sauce involved), aged the hands, and aged the movement plates with fake rust spots. But enough talking, time for the pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
