Thank-you gentlemen for the ideas. Good advice about putting downward pressure moving the bezel to minimalize wear. I'll remember that. I'll fiddle with the flat metal spring to get it right. I'll also be looking for a "set" to buy. May try the superglue idea. I've already tried some rubber cement. That didn't work too well though. Iwc3

I need to ask some advice. I have this Cartel (josh) 5513 I've been doing some mods to. Here is the problem: The bezel is so loose, it pops off at the slightest jarring. After reading the RWG posts, I tried putting some bends in the thin bezel ring washer underneath. Though that helped the spin tension nicely, it did not keep the bezel any more secure. ( I have another Josh 5513 that stays on the watch) Here's the question: If its the bezel that is not made properly are there other bezel assemblies to fit this? or Is it possible on a Josh 5513 to buy a whole new assembly, Crystal retaining ring, washer and bezel? I love the watch but right now to wear it I have the bezel "locked down". Thanks, iwc3

When you get a chance aeromatic, can you point me to that Ebayer with the boxes? Thanks, Iwc3

First one: 130813426092 Looks like a good case, movement, but I question the hands. I'm not an expert on those, but I didn't think original hands look like that. I also think this dial is a rep. Second one: 130813447798 Looks like a good case, not sure of the movement, but the dial and hands look like reps

Thanks... nope... went with this one: http://www.rafflestime.com/servlet/the-954/Clasp-for-20mm-Tudor/Detail

Added caseback engraving by JMB... beautiful work. The work on the caseback changes the whole feel of the watch Added lug holes by JMB Added 7836 bracelet from Josh Added Tudor clasp from Rafflestime Added White lume to the service dial Still need to install gen Tudor movement and gen Crown with Clark tube.

Need help sourcing a set of TC's sub hands. How would we go about getting a set of hands from him? Regards, iwc3

Thats a great looking display back. I've been scouring the web for a 5513/1680 display back. Thomas Preik is working on one, but they are about $200. Can you share who makes the one you used? Thanks, iwc3

Beautiful. Thank-you for the tip horzs. Now I just need to find the source for those. iwc3

Does anyone know if there exists a clear caseback that fits the cartel sub 5513 case? thanks, iwc3

I'm in for a Tudor when its available

That is a luscious bezel pip. Can you tell me the case you're using and then crown-crown tube? It is a complete package!

Thanks everyone. I suppose you're right about the polishing. Some 40-50 year old wristwatches have been polished everytime they were serviced. I suppose it would be period correct to put about a dozen or more "watchmaker" service scratches on the inside of the caseback too. The hands are what came from Josh, but I modded the hour hand. I cut out the mercedes three spikes about halfway from the edge. Then I filed off the stubs to clear the circle. iwc3

Thanks, I got the dial at http://www.chrono-shop.
