I wanted a bit of colour as the black and white watches were just fading into the background. As it's just back from Adrian in Adelaide (love your work) why not wear it for the day. It's a 6309 slim case with a 6306 21J hacking movement, dial and hands are Yobokies, chapter ring from 10watches, crystal is a Yobokies "inner dome, sapphire, anti reflective coated" and the strap is from the bay. It certainly gets noticed  at least three time today people commented, one bloke just stared as i walked by    |

Not shabby at all! That reminds me of my orange 7548 i had stuffed into a 6309 case. I haven't worn it in a while but it's super cool. I really like it. The only decent picture i have of it..  |

I've got an orange Sammy for those dull gray days and recently bought my wife a 6548 in orange which she didn't want ("too big"). Well, there are smaller offerings available, I guess  |

I have always wanted an orange dial but never found the right one. I like your idea. It looks great.

Looks good I like the how the black hands and framed indices really stand out against the orange. |

There you go, it needs some black on the bezel to tie it all together.  |

I really like yours Rod ... the black hands make it striking. I am thinking of putting a set of Yobokies black 6309 hands on my only orange dialed diver (a recently acquired 7548 modded into a 6309 hybrid)  |
