His is the closest I could find. Not a close match, but close in spirit until I can find better.Fizzzz wrote: ↑February 8th, 2024, 4:28 amI like your White Whale !dpd3672 wrote: ↑February 5th, 2024, 2:46 pm This is my grail...my White Whale...and as far as I can tell, there's only one photo of the watch online to use as reference.
So it'll be a gen bubbleback case I've had stashed for a bit, a negative relief gilt dial with pad printed accents (most notably the red "EVEREST" writing), and some AliX hands until I can find better. NH38 movement so no worries about ghost date position.

The Pre-Explorer 6098 (photo of gen):
This is the rough mock up at the moment, with a reject dial that I made to get an idea of the proportions. The dial still needs some tweaking of layout and fonts, but it's close (and the gen watch is so rare, I doubt anyone would call out a slight variation from the original):
Lots of work still to go, but I'm happy with the progress so far.
I'll be curious to see which hands you'll find,
I've searched some but never found a similar design![]()
