This is work in progress. Base is a ugly JKF Sub. There is not really much to use from the entire watch. I reshaped the whole Case reworked the CG's drilled and reshaped the Lugs. After some polishing I installed a gen Tropic 127 and a rare Athaya 702 Crown and Tube The Date was really bad so I decided to install a great open 6&9 Datedisk for 3135. Also the Inlay is bad, so here we go a new one[emoji6] Put this together now to see how it comes out. A new Dial is on his way because the stock one is bad in my opinion. Will keep u updated when all is finished Thanks for looking Cheers Tribal

Dial, Hands and movement is a cheap BP 3804 for the moment. Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

This is Bezel Set from Wholesale. [emoji6] Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk The BP Explorer Case is good enough for it and you got the whole watch for the money. Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

Hello Gang, after a lot research and knowing there is no good 5 digit GMT 16710, I started a new Project. The BP Explorer had a good Midcase, also the BP 1675 is a good Base for it. But we need also a gen Spec Bezel System for GMT. So I took a Explorer Midcase, reworked the CG's a bit to look like Gen. The Case takes a gen Crystal with no problem too I ordered a gen Spec Bezel System ( Retainer, Washer, Klickwire and Bezel) So this is how it works Installed Glas and Retainer Installed Bezel Self-made Klickwire Dial, Hands and movement is a cheap BP 3804 for the moment. ...and here " the first BP gen Spec 5 digit GMT Master 16710" [emoji23]

Also new.[emoji6] Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

I think it's the angle, can't see that the markers are crooked. Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

Here a build for friend of mine. Opened the CG's to look better, installed a gen Bezel, because the Factory one is wrong, installed a gen Glass. Looks now much better than stock.[emoji6]

Thanks guys. It's a BP SD as base. Reshaped the Case and CG's a bit and drilled Lugholes. Dial is a reprint 16660, colored the Hands to match the Dial. Gen Insert, Tube, Crown and Springbars. Runs with a 3135 Clone movement. Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

Thanks Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

And a other build from me.[emoji6]

Yes, I do always shipping with DHL tracking and insured here in Germany. The owner of this build was not aware there is no watch in the package as he get it and signed for it. There was only the empty black plastic box inside.[emoji2959] Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

Thanks mate and No. This was only a test purchase, because I don't believe what the seller told me about the movement. [emoji6] The Caseprofile is the typical white gold shape. I'm really surprised about the Quality and feel. I love this dial combo it looks really classic. Much more surprised me it's not a 4130 Clone. This one is only 12,29mm thick. It's a full working slim 7750 movement that keeps really good time . 3sec/day with no beat error. Chronofunction works flawlessly. This on comes from ZZF and I think it's a bang for the bug.

Yes DHL, Package opened. Watch gone.[emoji2959] Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

Damm the 5513 is stolen in transit to his owner!,[emoji2959] I'm really [censored] off. Al lot of work for nothing.[emoji22] Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

Impressed by the quality.[emoji106] Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

Hello Gang, I want to show my new build. This is a 5513 Sub build for a colleague. First I want to take a 5513 Milk Case, but after inspection I noticed that the gen Tropic 19 is too loose and don't fit properly. I also noticed that the gen Inlay don't snap in. So I decided to take an old Case with gen specification that I found in my drawer. I reshaped the Case, drilled the Lugholes and opened the CG's. Installed a gen Tube and a old Vintage Crown. Dial is a Viet 5513 Gen Inlay I colored the Hands to match the Dial. Oldstyle Springbars where fitted also Movement is slow Beat. Bracelet is not the best but it's marked 93150 Cheers Tribal Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

Amazing read.[emoji106] Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk Btw, do u have a Part List for replacing the gen free-sprung balance? Cheers tribal

Oh noooo. Sorry and my apologies that I read this so late.... My condolences to the whole family. I was in deep contact with (Bob) in the years back. Rest in Peace my friend[emoji22] Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

No I think it's about the inside Bezelteeth Quality and the clickwire. Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk

I changed the Klickwire. Gesendet von meinem 2107113SG mit Tapatalk Here again. You can see how bad the datewindow is on ARF. This is a custom build. I used a old WM9 Case, installed a gen Crystal, B3 Inlay, Tube and Crown, Dial and Hands are JF, VR3135 with near perfect Date. Bracelet is TC.
