Looks like frozen subdial at 6 (which i think is a good move) but what is that dial? i'm guessing not stock due to the brownish aging? Or is that a photo filter? Either way, congrats man...looks incredible This was actually the stock dial, it is a matt finish and not fully black so in this light it does look slightly brown, but I’ve since had it replaced with a Yuki dial as the subdials are really silver which is not very gen like, the Yuki is a creamy white!! The 6 o’clock subdial is already frozen on these reps, the wheel beneath the canon pinion isn’t geared to anything, so I’ve never understood when people say they have modded it to be frozen, but to fit a gen spec dial like a Yuki or Phong the canon pinion has to be moved as the 6 o’clock subdial is slightly higher up the dial, this is how you can tell! See in the pic below, the one on the left has stock dial (soon to be changed) and the one on the right is the watch you posted above but with dial swapped and subdial slightly higher up (see the difference in the space under the subdial where the “Swiss” logo is located)...
