No

Finally put together some good pics of my 5513. Anyone notice something special about this piece?

Wow, very nice K. You've spent some serious $ on this one

Grind the case or grind the movement I'm pretty sure that both methods have been done PS: what dial are you using?

That's because it's a pos

Good stuff! Looks like you guys had a great time

...overpolished, besides incorrect bracelet for a 3 mil serial watch. Not that it really matters, watch is only worth about a grand

..a good price for a rare watch

Demsey, you've brought up an interesting point. I never gave it much thought before, because I have never seen two different color variations of the gen inserts.

..and still a great price http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320447940469&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Thanks guys! ...as you know, provenance is king with gens

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. For me, I completed a lot of the yard work outside today, and that included putting a ladder to the gutters and cleaning out the remnants of leaves, and upon completion taking a backpack leaf blower and cleaning up the rest of the yard. After that was completed, I put the tools away and came inside for some lunch. Hmm... It looks like I got some mail... It seems that the postman left a curious package for me: What can this be??? I opened it up... ..and holy crap! IT'S A PACKAGE FROM ROLX!!!!! Well, it looks like it was definitely for me Digging down a little further.... ...it appears to be from 5th Avenue I guess it's a watch, because (so nice of them ) they put this little notice in the package for me: Hmm... forty winds???? Good lord, maybe four

Reviews are good for the board, and for the overall community, especially the newbs. If you don't like it, just skip the thread.

I like it! Very nice job

M.Y. refinishes oem bracelets

Wow, these pop up all the time at various gen vintage dealers and on the bay. I agree that VRF is a good starting point. Register there and post up a "WTB" in the marketplace. Expect replies of course to be on the high end. Other than that, go to the "links" section on VRF to find some of the vintage dealers. Good luck! JJ

Found this on the 'bay. Quite pathetic that low lifes will try to take advantage of the unknowing. Fortunately (and hopefully), most who are in the market for one of these can spot a fake easily. JJ

Actually, that's a meters first dial, bringing the watch back to '67 or so
