Si I have an old Yuki case 5513 3.5M, it has the correct rehault, gen T39 crystal and gen 702 crown. I´m missing the bezel insert, I have look in ebay and the gen are no less than 300USD!!!!!, I want a fully restored look so the faded insert don´t apeal to me very much. IYHO which one do you think is the best after market 5513 insert? in a price range from 30 to 120 USD. ( I have check WSO, NDT and Yuki) Best Regards

Meeting with DOMI on the 9 th, I'll take some pics. ;-)

Fantastic! I 'm speechless ! GLWS

Here are some pics of mine, I still have some work to do but it will come together. ( Sorry about the pics they were taken with my iPhone ;-). )

I personally find the Dial to be ok in most of the GMT IIC replicas, there is always the issue with the non aligned coronet with the 12 o'clock mark, but this can be fixed during the relume process. I have not seen any aftermarket dial for this model and a gen Rolex dial would be around 400-600 usd plus you will have to cut the feet and glue in a non permanent way to the dial( pretty risky on a GMT movement).

Did you drilled the lugholes on the case?

That 703 looks great, PM me if you want to sell it I am not that fixated on crowns an crown guards, but in this watch it does make a difference.

Both Tudors are stunning watches!!!! , I hope my 5513 looks someday like this

I have a 703 crown, I wonder if it will fit the case or I will need a modification, thank you for your feedback Akira. Best Regards

So? Any 5513 experts? I have done my homework but I just need to know the pros and cons of the cases and see if 500 USD are worth it for a Yuki case, I have seen some 5513 Frankens made with Josh cases and they look great. All opinions and suggestions are welcomed. All the best :-)

Nice watch, an eta 2836-2 would be ok just make sure it has the GMT feature, I would paint the bezel markings as the original one is made with vaporized platinum, BMW pearl Aluminium color is a good match, put a date wheel overlay ( BK could do that for you), and a AR cyclops or/ and an original or Clark's crystal, oil the bracelet overnight and it will look amazing. Enjoy your new beauty

I think Nanuq is right on the money. Just a litle creamy should do.

Hello guys, I have been looking to many option to build a 5513 as I have a gen dial and crystal with a gen crown and tube. The Yukiwatch case seems to be a nice option but is expensive, anybody knows if TT and Perfect clones cases are ok for this project? They claim to accept all gen parts. Here are the links to those cases TT offers a 2836 and PC a 2824. http://www.ttw168.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=7025 http://www.1-pc8838.com/0rlsv01006-vintage-5513-date-submariner-asia-2836-p-9481.html I hope the result will look like this ;-)

BEAUTIFUL!!!

The Gen snide rule is 38.5 and 32.5 so the numbers will be closer to the bezel and the dial will be fully visible

I mean bezel slide rule

That would be great, I think I recall some of our members installing a gen bezel

It is going to be trial and error, I have access to gen Breitling parts and I can return this one, I have other parts waiting so I will just pay the difference, I will let all know how it went. from what I have observed overlaping the slide rules over the watch from outside the gen slide rule should fit but it would be nice if some of our Navitimers specialists would measure the rep slide rules to compare. Maybe somebody already tryed this but I doubt it Gen slide rules are very difficult to get except direct from Breitling.

Some lume shots

I considere Domi as good friend of mine and a good watchmaker. His mother is very ill at the Hospital in Italy so difficult times for him now, my best wishes to him from here. He did the lume of my GMT IIC and it was the same as a Gen awesome job.

So..... Finally I got a brand new slide rule ....... Here are some pics. I will take some nice pics once DOMI has installed it. GLWS

Oh yes you arevright it is Finedd, it does not bother me that much...... Yet. I my franken navi the tint looks great.

Will try that one too I have several " lab rats" ready hehehe, aluminium pearl it s a new color looks good too, I will post the pics as soon as we do it.

Domi has plenty of AR cyclops I do not know where did he got them from.

Just got my GMT IIC serviced, waterproof, superlumed and AR cyclops from Domi. Bezel insert is next I think I found a car paint color BMW "aluminium pearl" that looks almost white on sunlight and platinium under other type of lightning. I will keep you informed, meanwhile enjoy the pics. RGDS
