This build was EPIC! Almost two years in the making. The owner was very demanding as he's familiar with the original of this specific year. Dial was redone twice !!! As well as the engravings untill the goal was reached. A great piece resulted of all this good attention. Enjoy the pics !!!

After months of working on it (but mostly just being busy or lazy or both), I think I'm finally done with my first build. I wanted to share pics because I haven't seen this crystal used yet - from what I can tell, it's GS's version of the Tropic 19 "super dome." And it was $10.60. I compare it to the $96 CWP crystal in another thread that I can't be bothered to find now. I'd love to know what I'm missing, if anything, but they look practically identical to me. But I'm new at this - if you can spot otherwise, please chime in. Anyway: Cartel 5513 case: lowered lug height, adjusted CG's, added slight chamfering based on gen images, drilled lugs to fit OE bars, refinished. GS PA-462 19M crystal Athaya 703 crown and tube Athaya pearl, aged lume Clark bezel assembly, aged insert (it's ever so slightly blued, hard to get from the pics) ETA 2846 serviced by misiekped keeping excellent time Deleted date position in keyless HR custom aged dial (he says he matched his gen) HR 2.0mm spring bars, polished ends JK hands (aged lume) So, the tried and true, for the most part. With giant thanks to jackflash and automatico for dealing with my nonstop questions. I have WSO endlinks for the cartel bracelet, but the famous line in the mid-link pisses me off too much to install it.

Congrats for this looking great first build mate ! I used this GS plexi on my 6538 and 5512 builds, one of the best we can find without spend $$$ in CWP T19

I think this is the one On Topic: Really nice vintage watch you have there. And that result for a first build

@Yllekp just told me Sead has these at $119.00 which is good to know. Throw nothing away, practice dial ageing, reluming or pass it on. Someone might be glad of a dial or 21j movement. The bracelet on mine helped out a brother in Australia
