Working on the Silix 6154 I bought a while ago. Finished the luming of the Radi dial. The engine will be u6498, second pinion shortened and the I reshaped the case very lightly, so as to keep the Silix 6154 characteristics as much as possible. I cleaned the original leather strap. It lost its shine a bit but I don't care. It looks beat up, and I like it that way. There are small details to be finished on the case that remain.ImageImageImageImage

It was originally like this when it came

Lurking, I found the original thread by chance about the previous sale of the watch. The parts list of the watch was

Silix 6154 case
Ross radiomir dial
Tourby hands
Seagull 6497 movement
