SILIX 6154 WHICH IS SHAPED LIKE A 6152/1 NO CG

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 seem to stem from HF resources. Strap is of proper quality and length with an unsigned, sewn-in GPF buckle.

Or you could leave the case as is and make a proper 6152/1 no CG (not the same as a 6152)

[mention]mykeos[/mention] it's a Slix case

Oh, cheers!
So, I was really lucky
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?

Let me share this with you first

Take a look at the pictures and then decide which parts should be different. I might have some spares for this case set.

Probably only the CB. The one here is weird with the attached closed CB on display CB.
But I will check if the Jackson CB fits. I have a spare one.

I can't recognize it from the pics, but is this a gaposis build or do you need a 39 mm dial?

I reckon it's a regular thin dial from Rolex. if your case takes 39mm, then you should use it to avoid having gaps.

The main difference of the 6153 compared to a 6152 is the top area of the case (below the bezel):
the lugs are flush with the middle part of the case.

See how someone can turn that case into a 6153 here:

Sure it involves some serious shaping.It seems that also the lugs are flattened at their ends.
I will check dial size.

The flattening at the ends it's shown in one of the gen examples but not in the other one. (On the folder I shared previously) I can't tell which one is more common.
