If you've ever reshaped a mid case, one of the toughest mods to do properly is being able to cut bevels that have crisp/sharp edges. Here's an example of stock Yuki 5513 case lugs. Note how the edges are slightly rounded and the satin finishing on the top of the lugs have bled over to the bevel itself. Not cool: After spending some time on my lapping machine, here's what (I think) bevels on a 5513 should look like. Lugs have been slightly thinned, repolished, satinized, and bevels cut last:

Hahahahaha Wait Hahahaha Aint gunna happen Why not ask a watch dealer to start cutting up watches Ken

Do yourself the favor and justice of making that build 100% gen on the outside - you'll never regret it! I know I never have..

Cheers I'll check them out. I remember reading about them actually last year.

What a great collection of beautiful watches today, gents! I mean every 1 of them. Well done, guys. Even a rare appearance of 1 of eunomians's gems. Nice. Ending the work week wearing this old clunker

Nice, can not wait to see which way this project goes! My WG DD 18239 just arrived today and is sitting in my postbox.

It should fit, but since you are using a dial with stick markers, you will need the H4 canon pinion setup, which it doesn't look like it has. If using a clone movement is OK with you, I would buy one of TC's movements that already has the H4 conversion done and call it a day.

Wow. I can see you have trust issues that extend way beyond this forum. This is a rep game, and if you think everyone is out to get you, you're wrong. It's much safer buying a watch here than on craigslist. You have the admin to back you up, you don't get that on craigslist. If you think every pic is the exact watch you will get, your right. They may have a standard pic of the watch so they don't have to take the same pic over and over again. As with any club or forum you will always have someone go bad. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. You're new so we forgive your doubt, but let this end it. You will find the TD's and members are all honest and wanting you to have a good experience. Trust them all, and if something happens, contact the Admin, they will help you.
