My gen.

Hello all! So very excited to be on my way to being a full-fledged member of the community by doing my first 5513 build. This is my first "franken" and first build, so I've taken some time to source the parts, talked to a LOT of members (thank you all) and hopefully sourced the right parts. I had a local member "TheMillerDave" help me with many things, including the movement and case, he's a terrific guy and a great resource. Many other members helped me source gen parts too, including Whoopy, Jerkstore, Cubeians, and I'm probably leaving someone out. What I've got here is Yuki (baked) 5513 2 liner underline, gilt with hands MillerDave PCG case and case-back. Probably will try to source gen case & back still from another friend genuine insert and bezel components genuine 1520 movement genuine twinlock 700 crown, rep tube rep plastic dome crystal, one period correct, one 1665 in case I like it better "BK" Rolex 78790 Bracelet, Clasp code AB9 until correct gen bracelet sourced genuine 2mm fat spring-bars I've found holding my loop up to the iPhone and taking pictures results in pretty good macro shots. I feel a little gilty about spending all this money, but hey, it's a hobby Be kind, it's my first try! More shots and macro-shots to come as build progresses but here's a few just to get us started

Picked up a new addition to my small collection today, and I really like this one. So, here is my Noob PAM 127 I bought on RWI.

How is this child at cutting and splitting firewood? And I don't mean those pathetic little twigs you Brits call "trees" either mate. How does this child handle a little harmless "dad humor"?

And I thought I had friends here. Have a heart, I've got a wife and kids. I live in London, one of the most expensive cities on earth. I like fine foods and fine wines all of which need paying for. My wallet is not a bottomless pit. Ok. I have a plan... anybody interested in a 6 year old kid. House trained. Intelligent and relatively amusing. Loves sports and chess. Willing to trade for a good 1680. Shoot me a PM.

Okay we've seen the good, now how about the ugly?

More just to help things along, both gens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry mate!

Mardi Gras ball tonight so this one:

1665

Enough already. This is not funny. Would you wave a $10 bag of heroin in front of an addict going through cold turkey?

1966 PCG 5513 with underline - gen mvmnt.

bracelets are for soccer moms these 3777 cases are best worn on leather

That IS a genuine 5513/1680/1665 insert. Just google "5513 midfont". May not be period correct for a PCG, but it could have easily been a service replacement. It would not fit on a sapphire watch.

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.
