Thanks all, I'm glad you like it.
Even if you are used to beefier watches, as I am, its charme and uderstatement are, IMHO, unique.

You're right, dial isn't perfect; It's Yuki's, and deciding between this and the newer was hard.
But I didn't want to modify it too much, you know I'm waiting for a service one
Have a nice day

Hi
I just finished this new old classic
The base was a 60's 5500 air-king, original USA C-I rivet band, swapped dial and hands ... et voila
Isn't she lovely?
Cheers

Hi All,
I'm looking fo a "precision" or "super precision" dial for my 5500, but it's hard to source even a service one.
So, waiting for the right one, I'd like to find a good compromise.
In my opinion both NDT and Yuki's are not do close to the original, have got any other suggestions?
tnx mates.

Guys,
I just found a beautiful, working cal.1030 with its original set of hands and crown.
I was thinking to house it in a 6538, but where would you buy case and dial?
Yuki... JAW... NDT (are they still in?)
Any idea is welcome.
Rgds
