Recommended Posts

Finally done after many months... My 6152/1 Build with tall canon pinion and Cortebert 616. A modest build that took a life of its own and became a black hole of time and money. It isn't historically accurate, but am thoroughly ecstatic with the results. Thanks to all those who in some way inspired and contributed to its construction - Bob, Clint Eastwood, Gordon, Joel, Pablo, and Steffan. Here are the specs:

 

-Reworked/reshaped DSN 6152 case set

-Genuine Tropic 24 Plexi

-Overhauled and Regulated Cortebert 616

-Custom Tall Canon Pinion

-Okabum Hands with WatchLume Vintage Lume

-Okabum Brass Crown Tube and Crown

-Okabum Crown Guard, modified and refinished

-NW MM 8GB Vintage Brown Dial with WatchLume Vintage Lume

-NW Movement Ring

-NW Thick Exhibition Caseback with Curved Plexi

-Donerix Maggiore Vintage Strap

 

Apologies for going crazy with all the pictures (Got rid of crappy compressed pics):
