I forgot a picture of the bracelet/endlink where this topic was started with. This is how it looks.

In the meanwhile the watch has arrived, Some experienced members gave also their thoughts about it. For the case i think its an Old School CN case with the "paper clip" bezel construction. Case and CG is thick. Enough steel to work on. It has "registered design 1680" and serial "2652174" engraved between the lugs. The dial has a nice vintage look could use a relume job. The movement is the Yuki Tudor engraved 2824-2 as listed on their website: http://www.yukiwatch...112/7899330.htm I have to make my mind up in putting some money in it modding, or just sell it. Make somebody happy who can use this movement for a Tudor build. Got some pics made:

N A V Y

Here in Holland we have a vintage dealer for years, trusted so to say take a look for a little reference: C L I C K

I have one with Oyster, but i like it on Jubilee better. This one origin from Timeshops $284 not trusted dealer on RWG bought it from a member.

Second day

Not standing out but classy maybe you like a blue dial date just? Take a look at this one which is sold but nice pics much better color in real life then on the dealer websites: C L I C K

The case could be MBW but also an el cheapo right? The seller did not wanted to take the bracelet of to see whats between the lugs. Price is no secret i paid 250 usd for it including shipping. I also liked the dial, never saw that one before at vendors, the font size and spacing from what is sold today. Could be a redial who knows. I looked at plenty of gen 5513 dials and they are different this one has the X of ROLEX slightly above the A of perpetual all the gens have that X ended on the U of perpetual in time it must match with the models directly after the end of SWISS around 1964 when that line became SWISS - T > 25 Also the = between meters and feet sits low in that period later the = is higher printed. So this is what i figured out so far as a vintage noob.

The watch is a mistery buy, i could get it cheap so i took the gamble. It could be a 2824-2 Tudor movement. The rotor has much sharper engraving and different shape as the rep tudor rotor from Yuki for example, there must also be an engraving on the dial side of the movement according to the seller. The bracelet was another mistery, why would somebody bother all the work with that none correct end link and bracelet? Maybe that 71N end link had a value to use it. The bracelet is clearly a rep bracelet of low value or not? Could be that such an end link is rare? So with help of you experienced guys i try to figure things out : )

@automatico Thanx for your detailed input. Which vendor is recommended to get a correct 5513 bezel and insert?

My favorite blue dial, this is my gen, but i have seen quiet good reps of this one. It is a Chronomat Evolution late model

More thoughts about improvements?

Maybe this is also your style i would try one from trusty out of the box.

Would turn my head down to your wrist if you where standing next to me in a public place, nice and sharp.

Maybe a litlle help there is also another link in the topic c l i c k

I don't know that is why input from board members is welcome Maybe for now let the bracelet be, first see how it looks? Or what other alternatives are there? So far from the pics i got i think the bezel and insert is not correct, bezel teeth to sharp. So that must change. Crystal is not correct better a T19? some pics i got:

I understand that you think that but it is actually on the pics i got from the seller. Take a look:

Ok thats clear, only thing i wonder maybe stupid question but what could be the reason that the person who build it used a 19mm end link for a 20mm bracelet. 71N is 19mm a 93250 is 20mm correct? Or is it also possible that the case has 19mm lug width? Like i said i do not have the watch yet, and do not know what case is used.

Yes it is a custom build parts and history unknown, it has a gilt dial meters first so in time we talk about the gen around 1965. The rivet bracelet would be a match in age i guess?

Bought a 5513 with different components watch is not yet arrived. In analysing the parts this is a mystery to me. It has a bracelet 93250 which is not correct for the age. But it has end link 71N that one i have never seen before on a 93250. In the Endlink guide i see 71N go with 7205 was made for 19mm i believe. (i do not know the origin of the case yet and don't have other good pics of front sel fit).
