Glad things have smoothed out and you are enjoying some R&R................now get back here and take care of all of us watch-a-holics I'm kidding of course. It sounds like you and Jenn are having a magical time. Be safe and by all means, take lots of Pictures. K.

Send me a Pm regarding the crown/tube and crystal.....

I saw that one. Good watch and great price.

T=19 crystal, 703 crown/tube and as for the insert, make friends with a watchmaker that has a Rolex Parts account

I received notice that he was waiting for a few to return from his watchmaker........hmmmmm

Comparison pictures.....item360097572886

I just got confirmation that mine will ship today.....

A shout out from my glossy to yours......nice work Enjoy it.

Oh well, A skilled person could turn it into 737788.....if you know what I mean Great buy and I am still awaiting confirmation on my order......

Did you get the serial # to see if it matches Chris'?

About time.........yep, nice and quiet.

You too?

Notice the placement of the hole for the Crown/tube....nicely centered and countersunk.............just like a Gen....

How about a shot of the caseback inside and between the lugs........c'mon man we want more....

Oh yeah Boy!!! Please oh please have one for me Mr; Girard............

Agreed....show us the bezel/ring assembly please.

this is me....not posting. Thanks for the warnings......

Well Brian...at $275 you get a nice movement, decent dial, Gen style case and bezel assembly that quite honestly, does a better job as a 5513 base for modding than the MBW.......know why?..........because the MBW has a channel under the bezel for a gasket and the Gen 5513 does not.....that's why. A little case work to smooth the edges and a decent insert is all you need. I recall that the lugs accept Gen bars and the crown/tube is pretty close. Too bad for anyone who hesitated......a great deal to say the least.

Agreed on the movement. The case is like brand new and I think a Pre-cursor to the MBW's. I seem to recall that Gen inserts and parts fit.

Hah! I bought this watch or one of the watches about 5 years ago. He had them listed at $450.00 which is what I paid. I sent it back because it kept horrible time and was advertised as Genuine and all original. As I recall, it was a nice peice and I think a great buy at $275.00 In fact, I just ordered one.......I hope he still has them

If your friend voiced his opinions in a PM to you, then you shouldn't be offended. If he crapped a thread, unacceptable IMHO Shake it off V, People will pay what they will pay.

Hmmm, I did not know that. Thanks for the info.

Great gesture and outstanding watch. One question....doesn't the ETA date advance in the opposite direction than the gen datewheel? Kurt.

Send me your addy and I'll send you all I have......links and screws
