Many Prayers and well wishes.....God Speed

What they all should look like....Nice job pug!

Okay, MBW 5513 donor.........Check Gen tube, crown installed.........Check Case and crown gaurds worked..........Check Lugholes drilled Gen bracelet and springbars installed.........Check Hmmmmm, still needs something......... oh yeah....this..... and this.... Only a few days away from final assembly...........can you feel it?

Very funny......I notice youare in no hurry for a re-match Thanks for the well wishes. I hope all is well with you and the fam. Right back at'cha for your on going 5513 project. It looks very nice and I am sure it will become a real prize.

Nice work Andy.....I like it alot.

Dude.....That rocks! Very nice iteration and Glow! Glad my madness inspired someone

Very nice casework!

Thanks 'nuq. I value your opinion and appreciate your response....not to mention envying a few of your watches

Thanks for the info.........I am holding out in hopes of finding a gen set on a back shelf

Correct. It is a small slotted screw. Just back it out a bit more and whatever you do......don't try and jam the stem back in. Good luck.

Currently, the 1560 from this watch: Is at my watchmaker's getting all shined and lubed up......but before it went, it spent time with my Gen Dial: Looking like this: Kinda cool Explorer'ish. Here it is next to a Rep of the same: And my Favorite modded Sub: The test fit of the dial and movement into my MBW couldn't have gone any better. The Stem aligns perfectly and the Dial fits as it should.........Just need to find the right hands......anyone? Stay tuned

I started collecting watches over 25 years ago......because they fascinate me. If it tells time...I like it. As for who's do I admire......I admire anyone who shares the same passion I do. Be it Swatch or Patek, Timepieces are a matter of taste and I think everyone who shares their collection big or small gets my vote.........Of course, Ubi, Pug, Two-Tone and others get an extra vote

Gen early 60's Gilt Dial: Gen Rolex Oysterperpetual from II/61: Gen Period correct 1560 Chronometer movement: I have my MBW Case, a gen clasp, Gen crown, Gen Tube, Gen springbars, Gen gaskets and Gen crystal. What I need: Gen insert, Gen Bracelet, Gen Gilt hands and patience Am I crazy to cannabilize such a nice......boring watch? Feedback required and appreciated. Regards, Kurt.

I say rep just from the poor finishing of the case edge as seen below the serial number. Rolex would never send a watch out with burrs......Nice watch though.

These two in rotation: I love Variety

Here is the donor and movement for my Gilt 5512/5513 project......Yummy Of course the case and dial will make a good donor for a Rep Oyster Perpetual as well

Agreed, but I commissioned different material so the sticking wouldn't be an issue. Under a loupe or macro, the fuzziness is more apparent.......then again, I take my loupe off when I'm done working on 'em

Sorry, edited to clarify that the case is a Modded MBW

Laundry list: Gen Dial Gen Crown Gen Tube Gen Pearl Gen Bracelet Gen Crystal Gen gaskets Gen Springbars Ubi Special overlay Flat top 3's...Yes I know it's fuzzy when magnified, but to the Nekkid eye, It looks perfect. Modded MBW case and bezel Regulated to COSC Swim proof, Shower Proof, Detection proof :-) I just may sell this one to offset this project: I have a 1961 Oyster Perpetual en route with a 1560 Period correct movement. All I need is a good pair of Gilt hands......anyone? Thanks for looking, Kurt.

I swim and shower and do Tile work with all of mine......no issues.

Handsome piece! Bond NATO's are always a Sub must have. Nice pics too.

Why not go for a vintage 5513? The one pictured above on top of my "Sub"-ramid has been with me the longest. It started as a Gilt dial and I modded the case, CG's, added an aftermarket Gen style bezel assembly, Gen Crown, tube and gaskets, a vintage rep rivet bracelet with Gen spring bars, a Clark superdome crystal and I re-lumed the dial and hands. Pm me if you would entertain buying it as I have a Gen 5512/5513 Gilt dial that I am raising funds to by a Gen 1520 movement. Anyway, good luck in your search. I have a Gen 14060M (bottom center) and I hardly wear it. I much prefer the acrylic vintage pieces. Regards, Kurt.

Peace and much Love......thanks.

Very nice and clean looking watch. Great work as always.
