I might have parts for that.

Congrats! it's a great base for a 6153 (the Rolex 6154)

Perhaps some of the Elders know what kind of case this is. The CB consists of a display CB on which a solid thick CB is attached. Apparently the case was re-shaped and the dial seems to stem from HF resources. Strap is of proper quality and length with an unsigned, sewn-in GPF buckle.
Oh, cheers!
So, I was really lucky :oops:
The offer had only pics from the top and back, but not from the side.
You are giving me ideas with the 6153, in particular since I already made myself a 6152/12 no CG from a 6152/2 where the CG areas where re-welded.
What parts would I need for 6153?
A rollie dial and a lot of patience to shape the case, which I'm sure you already have :))

This was waiting for me when I got home. I immediately switched the leather strap for a rubber tropic

A little clearer picture.

I love how it looks! Looks like I won't have to be taking it apart to clean the inside of the lens unlike the other one my gf has.

Thanks. :)

I wish it was radium!

I might write a review on these soon. For $50 each they are a great value. Polished the scratches off my fiance's tonight.
