The ss bracelet is no longer available, so you'd have to wear it with the kevlar strap.

There are many feet first 5513 dials. Serif dial, Maxi dials (I, II, III, IV & V), pre-comex dial. You need to do some research and decide which dial you'll use. Ingod's dial looks like a precomex, where the lower horizontal stroke of the "f" aligns with the horizontal stroke of the "t". Don't have a lot of knowledge on these, so can't comment on the accuracy. But the crown logo is not accurate. Gen pic looks like a serif dial. Apples vs. Oranges. Here's some reading: Maxi dials Precomex dial 5513 dials Actually, it will depend on the dial and condition. Also, not sure what "expensive" means for you, but if you decide to sell in the future, gen dials will probably increase in price, so you could see it as an investment.

You're a true asset to this community, M. That watch is simply breathtaking.

Like I told Stacey via PM: looks identical to a genuine MC dw. Janeto: get to work!

Yes, and I also think that the 2 of the 200 has a more pronounced 'swan neck' than the 2 of the 120 on mk1 bezels. I think Phong's 2 in 220 is very accurate, and from what I can tell by looking at LH's pic, the 2 on 120 is different that the one on 200.

I recently received a large order from Phong, which included 5 6263 bezels. Only 2 of them were in good shape. The other 3 had similar problems than the one he gave you. As you may be aware, genuine 6263 bezels changed over time. Here's a picture of the four bezels, taken from Mr. Mazzariol's website: The most interesting thing about Phong's order was that he sent 2 different bezels. You see, one of the watches ordered in the group buy had a serial number from the 1980's. For that case, Phong sent a bezel with the rounded S and very similar to the #4 bezel in the picture above. Print quality was very good, crisp and had no flaws. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture before sending it to the owner. But I could send him a PM so he can post a pic once he receives it. The other bezels were all with flat S. Since most of them had printing flaws, I sent them back to Phong for an exchange, except Vly's which was in good shape. If he hasn't sent it to Rob, perhaps he can provide us with a picture. I honestly can't remember if all the bezels had the same shape on the 2's, 4's, & 7's. Didn't take any pictures either. The bezel he provided you doesn't look like the mk1 bezel. Looks to me like the mk2. But if you can provide a close up of the 200, 140, 75, 80 & 85 I could tell you. Or you can compare it with the pictures below mk1 mk3 mk4 The mk2 had a snowman looking 8, where the top circle was smaller than the bottom one.

Actually, I went to your V1 thread and saw pics of the 1 & 7 Pretty impressive Martin. Here's a pic of a gen. Also looked at the 6 & 9, and those were not identical to the gen. But now you know: you need to wear this beauty at least once a month

Just saw this thanks to S, who pointed me to this thread. Completely missed it. Looking gret M! Now all u need is a CWP chrono hand. That's the only flaw I see with the current state of the watch. Mad props to jmb. Outstanding work! Wondering what's next on your project list. I have a feeling it will be an old, worn out looking 6263 PS: can u take a couple of pics of different numbers on your dw, specifically the 1, 3, 4, 5 & 7? Whenever u have the time

FTFY. Order was placed and shipped. I could give you Richie's contact and u can try to get the same price we got. Send me a PM if interested. And then some. It's just ~$50, and we need 4 more. Don't think about it too much. It's a no brainer.

lol Thanks for sharing Mapman!

lol. Slevin

$600 = very decent price? Damn!

No problem

You should adjust the power reserve indicator, so that it sits at the last line past the "7" Perhaps have the crystal AR'd (although the rep AR is very good as it is). Frankly, with a good aftermarket strap, this watch is among the best reps and would pass as gen any day of the week. Every time I wear my Big Pilot, I get laid.

Awesome job V! If only we had a gen to send you so you could compare it with the other 3...

Ditto!

How do these compare w Phong's?

No doubt a good price. I bought a 5500 for $1k, though. But the guy has a great feedback and 14 days return policy. Great buy if u ask me.

Indeed. One of the best OOTB reps out there. I think you can still buy the one with the rubber strap. But obviously the ss bracelet is the way to go. I will never sell mine... well, never say never, but u get the point.

The 5513 is stunning!

Great buy. Awesome rep. Very classy. Pics are just fine. Enjoy!

Vly: meters first would be wrong for a Comex
