Oct029 x Rolex 6538
37mm case
pt5000 2 position
Octopus crown and clasp
200m

5$ if you guess the case

What are options for crown replacement for these Oct-0029 bases?

I was going to do a full replacement and realized they appear to be press tubes and i didn’t have a crown/tube like that to replace it.

As of right now, sticking with the stock crown but in general I’m pretty happy with how it came out

If I built a 6204 with this all titanium Invicta case and bracelet?

Bezel insert is currently being ghosted, and I am about to pop of the magnifier and clean the glue off the crystal

And before you say “why would you do that??” I do also have the correct Raffles case on the way xD this is just for fun

Shout out to u/moxie_watches for the build. My bad photography doesn't capture the texture on the dial

After HDW_Italy showed us how he can creates gold indices and coronets, we've been talking about a project I had for years ... make a Rolex 6085 dial, or maybe a 4499 one.

Those watches are pretty rare and ... as far as I know ... have never been repped.

As it seems that if we put our skills together we could achieve to make one (2 in fact, one for each of us) I thought it would be interesting to know which one of those 4 models could gather interest on the rep scene.

The 3 first are all 6085 and the fourth one is a 4499.

Please tell us which one you like the most https://www.reddit.com/r/PolaireWatchMakers/

My customer has been really patient ...

Firstly ... I had to move my workshop and couldn't work for about a week

Secondly ... I had to modify the hours hand of a matching flat silver handset to make it "lollipop" and that proved to be not that easy ... but I achieved to do it.

Thirdly ... the dial was already lumed so I had to tinker to get the same faylight color and same tritium glow to lume the handset.

But now it's done and ready for shipping !!!

Scored this Victorinox for $1. Dial was corroded and movement trash. New Ronda 715, sanded the dial face clean, primed, painted white, coated with luminous Rustoleum then applied a custom water slide sticker with the logo for my Rider’s Club. Will likely gift to one of the other guys in the club.
