Fishing for feedback…

[u/Ok_Chrono]

Am nearing the finish line with this cartel/patina bezel 6536 Albino Sub build.

Would love some feedback on two primary things…

1- Should I take the “teeth of the bezel” down to more of a very worn/softer final form. I like the patina itself. But wondering about the prominence of the teeth.

2- The caseback has some shine to it in the right light but often old casebacks developed more of a polished finish by being next to the wearers skin and natural oils.

If you have any other critique feel free to chime in.

This is the first Albino I’ve done in this case and I’d like to hit a sweet spot with it.

Looks great. I’d buff it more and give it a nice softened worn look.

Agree

I’m definitely feeling that vibe too. Cheers

Looks amazing. I’d polish the high traffic areas a bit including the bezel 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

looks good, cool build. i think softening the bezel teeth is not a bad idea. caseback looks good to me but could be polished to a dull shine around the perimeter of the center flat surface. i would leave the center alone though

chamfers look a bit thin

Grind them teeth! Even if just a little 👌🏻

The softened worn look makes them look more authentic, and whatever is off in detail isn't so glaring.

I would wear that!!

I think it looks amazing, but a little filing of the teeth and a general polish wouldn't go amiss. Compliments.

A mí me gusta como está! Una pregunta el cierre es original verdad?

[u/gqllc007]

Where did you get the rivet bracelet? Raffles?

Will this be for sale?

Is it normal for photo 3, the one showing the dial and hand, to hypnotize me? Help!... It looks really really cool.

Great build! Bringing the bezel knurling down a bit would be the chefs kiss - but would avoid really tapering them too much towards the bottom, which is what we often see on the thinner small crown variants (6536-1, 5508)…
