I have an aged Yuki insert I'm not using if you want it. Just pm me your details and I can send it on it's way

hello all, I just wanted to share a recent purchase that I made. I bought this a couple of weeks ago from Monacol I am totally in love with this watch.A lot of hard work and talent went into creating this beauty. I am totally blown away by the meticulous work put into this. I have owned numerous Gen 5513's and out of all of them I actually appreciate this one much more. When I'm wearing it I actually feel like it's not a rep at all. Aged, relumed, and modded by JJ and a fully serviced Gen 2846. Cartel 5513 Yuki dial 130$ Clark hands NOS Gen ETA 2846 NOS Gen T19 NOS Gen inlay Looking to possibly mod this againwith a GEN crown and maybe invest in a Gen fat font insert and matching Gen pearl, but for the moment I like it exactly the way it is.

I've sent 4 e-mails during the last 6 months, we'll see if he answers...

Depending on what bezel you install, the watch is either a 6264 or 6262 Both have been produced.

Love it! Here are some links to really nice Vintage (Bund) strap makers http://hamiltonleatherworks.com/?product=bund-strap http://allwatchstraps.com/products/premium-horween-shell-cordovan-vintage-leather-strap-20mm http://www.vintagestraps.it http://tonezvintagewatch.com/page/en/home http://www.bandrbands.com/20mm-classic-vintage-watch-bands.aspx Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Congrats mate ! I have seen it for sale, nice build !

Superfranken LV today

My God! Where did you find one with the HotWheels dial in the über rare green? Do you realize the value of the Roadkill Frog-Shock in that picture?!

Real men, unite! I see your Frog, and I raise you a DW6900:

You've also convinced me to use my Hodinkee Horween Shell Cordovan Nato Strap on my 5513 when it's done.

Guys you may be wondering where the watch is... I just can't do it, I can't bring myself to build a fake watch. I don't want to be a fake person. I've decided to take the nobler route, and collect Casio's. Here's my first one in KingFrog Green

Here's mine http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This is exactly one of the reasons I love reps so much. The true value of these high end brands are closer to the rep price then the gen price. The price is artificially inflated ( just like the oil price was - controlled by cartels and monopolies) As nice as a gen is it's just not worth the price. Agree with beachcomber that it is supply and demand - this world is gone crazy. I hope reps get better and better. If you get e super rep with a good movement that can last years and years - that is very satisfying to me. The high prices of gens makes the brands seem somewhat pretentious which is a pity because they are good quality and have great design and history. In some respects wearing a good rep feels way better to me than wearing a gen ( I am probably in the minority here but it gives me a real kick) I also feels rocks to tell someone if they ask. Long live reps! +1 on Panarai153 comments too!

I've heard it said the Submariner is the world's most expensive $500 watch.

One of the reasons they can get away with selling at the prices that they do is that people pay so they produce.people have got used to paying ridiculous prices for luxury goods so in tern the makers of these luxury goods can raise their prices incrementally every year or various times throughout the year.if you're going to tell me that a stainless steel Rolex submariner is worth $8000 I have some swamp land in the Mohave Desert that I'd like to sell you.as I mentioned before in other posts we are paying for marketing, brand name and prestige. There is no doubt that Rolex is a quality product but in the same breath they are not worth their asking price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
