Fancied having the Bronzo brushed last night so spent less than 30 mins and here she is again, what a flexible watch, so many looks and finishes, she's a must have. AJ

Were it me & I was looking to buy it, I would start around $4k and be willing to pay as much as $7k-ish (though it may be worth a good deal more, but I would need to see good, clear macros of the movement & internal case). Get the movement professionally overhauled, polish or replace the xtal and all rubber gaskets and wear it as is. Do not change the dial, hands or crown, as replacements will all reduce its overall value.

This is a little something I'll be pulling together later today. This 5513 PCG started life as a 1680 case-set I bought from another forum. I've always fancied the 5513 chapter ring dial PCG model, so I thought I would give it a go. After softening the case and re-shaping the CGs the hunt was on for a suitable dial. Initially I wanted to go with an Ingod44. However, it turns out his dial isn't 27 mm as listed, more like a little over 26 mm. This would have been too small for the dial recess on the 1680 case. Hmmm, as I'd already re-shaped the CGs I needed to find another solution. So I decided to go for a Yuki 6538 dial which did have the required 27 mm diameter. Now although similar to the 5513 dial, it is naturally is a little different, the main tell being that "submariner" is written in gilt rather than white. However, this was the best option given where I was with the project. As well as the dial I also decided to use a Yuki bezel insert, pearl and Tudor hand set. The bezel itself was a one I found on eBay, from Clarks. This seems to be a one off as I haven't seen any others listed by them. Also from Clarks is the T19 crystal. The 702 crown and tube are from Athaya. So, having sorted the case, I re-lumed the dial, hands and pearl, more to match the colour rather than for the lume itself and gave everything a gentle patina. The movement is a Swiss ETA 2846, also sourced in eBay. Now to the pics

Niiiiiiiice!!!!!!! Haven't taken mine off since I got it last week!

thanks so much

My MM is en route from River, really looking forward to seeing her on! AJ

One of my Omegas. Probably my blue Seamaster Chronograph. No wait, my 2254 Seamaster, or maybe my Speedy moon watch. Sorry that's a near impossible to answer question. I'll just leave it at Omega.

Heart says Rolex Explorer, but head insists on Omega Speedmaster.

I'm quite disappointed with their communication skills really.. 3 emails so far, been waiting for 10 days for a response and not yet a beep from Vaccum or his team.. I'm a returning customer and the most thing I hate is to be ignored. It takes but a second to respond. Just say you're busy. Say you're not willing to take my project, just don't ignore me. If returning customers are treated poorly like this, I wonder how new customers are treated like.
