sounds like you had fun in Tsim Sha Tsui.. next time we'll explorer some other areas flex

Any plan to swap the dial and a slow beat movement? That will complete the watch.

I've seen better rep dials.. is that the new DW dial?

F333, the dial looks almost 'red' in day-night. accurate or not. very chic. you will need one of the bleached inserts from Ubi to match that dial. It's beautiful.

I have taken the photos of the case back two weeks ago. but never had the time to post here. here is the caseback of either my gen or NDT trading Cartel Version 5513

old photo

can someone point me to the direction to obtain the crystal and gasket.. its beautiful. flex

the flat 3 to me is a myth so I am not sure about that. I know it has been discussed at length that 93150 should have flat 3. but some dealers have been selling the round 3 for many years. Those aftermarket bracelets are easily identifiable if held in person. so I am confused.

Does this one has functional hev? or, only etched hev..

I have discoverred another thing..............today my Yuki's DRSD case back arrived (for my MBW). Ironically, the DRSD Caseback fits the Cartel 5512 and MBW DRSD of course. Note that and as I have stated, the Cartel 5512 doesnt not fit either the geninue 5513 case-back, nor MBW 5513's CB & other cartel version (Siliex old version 1675 or other cheapie 5513)'s CB . Did anyone find out the dial openning? I was wondering if gen dials can be fitted for these new hybird.

Very interesting! note the 5513 bezel..

not much luck here.. after 1 week of mix-matching the parts.. I hadi tried the older rep case backs from Silix 1675 to Paul's 5513.. noone of these case backs fit.. Edited: and now I know the reason. Just a minutes ago, I tried the caseback from my gen and noted that even the gen wont fit.

i keep checking in for any update. how come my response to this thread has become the first message? Anyway, where is the porn

After a second look - comparing the cartel (new version) & my gen, the difference is only the case back! It seems that the cartel is using a 1665 style (but with no engraving) case back. Mine was procured from a memeber here. It was a NDT. Gen vs NDT The above will soon be converted to a 5514 logo dial.

His anwer to all these dealers talks re ROC PN dial.

Best of luck for your project.. here is my gilt dial Franken along with my gen 5513. Both have gen brzel ring and bezel insert. The franken was assembled and modded by the artist here, The Zigmeister. Practical tip: forget abt Cartel 5512 as they are too thick. I bought one after reading fantastic review on the forums.

You guys are killing me.. i m expecting a package from UAE :/

Love the show. Ari gold has a gold AP as well. Looks right for his role/

Why would TZ took it down? This is just insane to have that thread removed. The guy could pull the same trick on anyone

Is it the new Cartel? It kind of looks like a thick 1665 case to me? I have to say that I have no experiences with the new cartel 1680 though

Can you show us a breakdown? I'm extrmrly interested

Great info. I had thought that the gen Pre-V has shorter B area and more rounded shape. EL case bezel seems to be the best when it's shaved down.

Gen plexi is ridiculously expensive. I doubt anyone has tried that on their josh's vintage bulit. If anyone has a spare gen plexi, I am happy to try that for you

I think sourcing the dial is extremely difficult. I would not start such project before finding a belivable dial. Almost all of the aftermarket ones are not believable. Will you accept a matte service 5510 dial? I quite like the one on ndt trading's
