You're right but my watchsmith said something could happen ...

Oh yes, the explorer 5500 is nothing but an Air-King with specific Explorer dial. Cheers

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. @LHOOK 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 THL

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 Thl

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. THL

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 Thl

Well, I just changed to a Phong case from an old MBW and difference is remarkable, sure it's not cheap...

Thanks folks, you're right, insert is gen but not its original, so it's time to change crystal and drill here and there. I'll let you know. Cheers

Hi, 1665 is an old passion , so I started modifying mine one: - Base MBW 1665 from Watchmeister - Case-set bought by a forum member - Dial vintageing by me - Riveted bracelet ( to be changed, it doesn't accept 2 mm springs) - Original insert Just finished, took a few shots with phone, any idea on what is wrong and what sohould be made is very welcome thanks for looking

Ciao e benvenuto, non ci sono molti italiani, ma la presenza

Well, it's time to buy a good new old dial. Thanks to you all. Thl
-
Thanks for your answer, I think the case will do, inner measure is 26.5 mm as the dial, my doubts concerned the date window distance from the center of the dial, I thought eta movements were different. Bye Thl

Hi, I'm thinking about swapping my 1665 dial, possibly with an NDT one. The question id, will it fit my 2836/2 movt ? Cheers. Thl

No, it's correct, it's for measuring both Kilometers and Miles, my Jupiter pilot has the same alignment.
