Here we have a professionally build big crown homage using the new helenarou case set (6538 hommage). This watch was professionally built, posted on a prominent watch website then sold on to me, worn for less than a day. The case set is very high quality and has been designed with 100m WR (this particular one was tested to 60m no problems). This watch was built by a watchsmith and has ETA 2836 engine inside. Comes on standard stock helenarou RAF nato with case (no papers). Dial is sterile and is superb (images on h's site do not do justice). Helenarou sells complete versions of this case set on Ebay for $540. This was one of the first complete builds using this case set. If you missed out on a kingston and prefer sterile dials, this is the one for you: the quality is THAT good! Steel sterile rivet bracelet is available separately also, as is RAF zulu strap shown. Helenarou charge $290 for case set alone. This watch wears bigger than 40mm diam bezel suggests. Watch is curently being serviced and regulated by a watchsmith and will be posted direct to purchaser: I have worn it for approx 6 hours. Lume is excellent. Condition is TZ 98% (near new), stock nato never worn. Comes with stock nato strap and case (no papers). Watch is located in EU but will ship normal registered airmail worldwide. Price is $450 incl pp fees and postage (payment by paypal or moneybookers). I really, really wanted to bond (no pun intended) with this watch but unfortunately didn't.
