Hi Paul, fixing it now Cheers P.

Nice work Paul, that's an awesome Comex. Where did you source the dial and who repainted it? Cheers P.

I brought the Canon G10 just to photograph my watches and its awesome. The pics below were taken with it using a couple of reading lamps from Ikea. Cheers P.

Nice one Freddy, thanks for that!

Freddy, i seem remember you posting the name of a guy in the US who will re-finish gen dials only, and does a pretty good job.... Cheers P.

I just picked up this gen 6263 silver dial for my DW project.... Waddaya reckon, a bit of spit and polish should be good as new huh? Cheers P.

MBW Comex: Gen Superdome.. MBW Comex: Gen Superdome.. MBW DRSD: Gen flatdome.. Tudor Sub: Gen T19 Superdome.. MBW 5513: Gen T19 Superdome.. Cheers P.

Please do. What sort of price range is he asking for these dials? Cheers P.

Thanks guys really appreciate your comments... gplracer: The dial fits the MBW case perfectly as its made to 5513 specs with the engravings correct. (except they're lazered) Freddy: I've been shooting my whole collection so watch this space Cheers P.

I think its a gen. You can always tell by he sharpness of the Rolex crown. Very few re-dials every get the printing a sharp as Rolex do. 99% sure its a gen. Cheers P.

awesome! P.

Had some rare time to myself this week and so decided to try and nail the art of watch photography. I finished this 5513 a while ago but this is its maiden show on the forum. Specs are: - MBW case - Gen glossy tritum 5513 dial - Gen insert - Matching Tudor hands - Gen T19 superdome - Eta slowbeat 2846 with date mech removed - Gen tube and crown - Hollowlink Oyster bracelet cobbled together for bits n bobs Thanks for looking P.

Nice pic By-Tor... Dave, love those penguins P.

I agree Pug but it ain't what you got, its how you use it... Here's my kit and my watch pics are pretty crap... Cheers P.

That's a nice clean movement and a perfect donor watch. As for its origins it may well have been put together as a one off. It has no markings on the bridge which could mean the movement came direct from the factory and put together by a watchmaker. Good luck with the project P.

That is correct Cheers P.

Hey guys, actually the 1680 and 5513 cases are different in that the 5513 dial is smaller than the 1680 dial. The MBW sub case is based upon the 5513 meaning that if you use a gen spec 1680 dial for the 1570 it will need to be trimmed to fit the MBW case. This means the dial markers become shorter and is a dead giveaway. IMHO building a 1680 with a gen 1570 means investing in a Phong case or build a 5513. Cheers Peter

Thanks. Cost in the region of 650-700 usd. Its has custom made dial and a gen crown, gen Jubilee bracelet and gen tropic. But most of all a lot of work which unless you can do yourself you have to find a watchmaker who you can work with on reps. Cheers P.

Building a 1675 is possible but not easy, check out this thread: http://www.rwg.cc/members/build-1675-t7629...amp;hl=1675+gmt Too Much Gear and i went down the same road on this and this is the result .... Of course if you can, always go for the gen, its a good time to pick up a bargain Cheers P.

Haha! we so lucky to have you around By-Tor ... P.

Cats, this is correct handstack on vintage GMT's ... Nice looking gen 1675, later version maybe mid 1970's. Case looks like its been well polished but a good example. Does it have service history or papers...? Cheers P.

Couldn't open your link but i get mine from this guy... http://cgi.ebay.com/SPRINGBAR-PINS-for-OLD...%3A1%7C294%3A50 You'll have to drill your existing case holes with a 1.2mm drill bit for them to fit. Cheers Peter

Hey Lani, here's the link for the nato: http://www.timefactors.com/nato.htm TMG you don't need one, that gator stap is awesome... Cheers P.

Welcome to the Monte Carlo club Lani. Personally i prefer the ss bezel the black doesn't really do it for me. Where did you source this one...? Here's mine with ss Cheers P.

Can we see some pictures and more info on what you actually brought... Cheers P.
