I know it's a bit of a tease thread, but this is what makes it interesting to give You Guys a bit of a guess

Having a bit of a longer B.day weekend, it was time to wear a finished project I had for a while, not perfect by all means, but it's up and running.

Here are some pics, What ya reckon? .....more of course to come.

Frogman4me · 1 September 2012, 05:43 AM

Just by lookin at the bezel I can say...awesome!

My guess is a 5508.

GeoGio Greece · 1 September 2012, 05:59 AM

...a brass bezel can only be............................

.............a 5508 or 5510 ?

Good guess,....but it's NOT.

Kiwinz · 1 September 2012, 06:14 AM

Different angle.

Paul · 1 September 2012, 06:26 AM

- that bezel
- small crown
- no cyclops
- case characterstics

..... and I'm thinking 6536. Could be wrong though - still learning !

GeoGio Greece · 1 September 2012, 06:28 AM

..the bracelet is no original to my opinion. It may be a TUDOR then !

PAUL, ...YOU ARE THE MAN.

Good on Ya, Mate

Frogman4me · 1 September 2012, 06:47 AM

Thanks for sharing ;)

Paul · 1 September 2012, 07:14 AM

It's certainly had some work done but the end result works really well

If it's a 6536/1 it's no prob. either for it to sport an OCC dial.

Thanks for sharing.

Subexplorer · 1 September 2012, 06:23 AM

Looks like a 6202 Turn O Graph, but I can´t recognize the bracelet. It is not an Oyster type.

Look forward to your showing. Congrats and enjoy your new "ship".
Cordial regards, Abel.

Frogman4me · 1 September 2012, 06:39 AM

The bracelet did throw me off.

Kiwinz · 1 September 2012, 06:45 AM

Yes, here it is in all it's glory.

Arare bird indeed, has had some changes in it's life with the dial and the bracelet which came with it..

...is still a mystery to me????

But I love the president style on it.

z32turbo · 1 September 2012, 07:24 AM

No, it's SS, very odd.

Haven't seen anything like it before, have to post some more pics and maybe someone here can help.

Maybe it was a SS president prototype.

Any luck finding a replacement dial mate?
The guy who refinished that text is still hung over I bet.

A good Project watch mate.

Naa, been searching around the globe, but no luck so far.

Plenty of cheap copies around, even tropic ones

,

but so far no luck, Mate. Still waiting to hear back from Stefano as He got a lot of odd stuff lying around.

Bracelet looks like a mishmosh of oyster endpieces, a president bracelet and oyster clasp?

Yes, certainly is, 380 B end pieces, Vintage Oyster clasp 2/62

and the Bracelet could be a Vintage Omega [ what my watchmaker thought].
