It started out as a Bond era Seamaster.  It’s actually a Closed Factory 40th Anniversary Bond Seamaster: 2537.80  (still has the caseback). I had Micky @SSTEEL swap the dial and hands. The dial  is a gen 2230.50 that I had lying around. It was relumed in a white super luminova (originally it has a green hue). The handset was also relumed to match the dial, spare sword hands from a 2254.50 with a 45m Planet Ocean second hand cut down. The crystal is a Prof Steve 2xAR and the bezel is an early 42mm Planet Ocean. Running an ETA movement. It’s my favourite watch  bar none. Micky assembled it years ago and it’s been flawless ever since. The only issue I have is the lug holes in the case. They are not in the right place and none of my bracelets fit correctly. 

Beautiful. It's now my new favorite watch too! I'll have to keep an eye out for that dial.

You might try Uncle Seiko 1171 bracelet. It has pressed steel end links instead of solid end links.  You might be able to bend them to fit.

Finally back on the wrist after a forced sabbatical. 

Nice! What is the reference number? I like the coin edge bezel. What is the diameter?

Beautiful!

Hey,  that's a nice pair of Great [censored]! Thanks for keeping us abreast on the subject!

It didn't sell. He relisted it. Now it is $1799!

Wow! I have the rep of that Comex 5513

The minute marks on my dial are too small. Did you machine your case to have a larger dial window?

Beautiful, it looks like a new old stock 5513!

What are the specs?

At least he's not claiming it's genuine. I love how he obscures the last digits of the serial number on a rep case.

Welcome Ray!

Here's my VR3135 with the same gen date wheel as yours.

Updated mine with gen Open 6&9 Date and H6 pinions.

Doesn't the gen date wheel rotate in the opposite direction from the ETA date wheel? Do you have to change the date every day?

It looks great! How did you print the dial?

Welcome! I think you will like it here.

The '5513' top left is from the 2016 'Rolexfinder' sale through a member, still in new condition.

The empty '5513' case with a '5512' case back is also from the 2016 'Rolexfinder' sale, it had an etaclone 2836 that I removed to be swapped for a nos slower beat ETA sooner or later.  It came from a member in 2017 and is in new condition.   

Right side are two  nos '1680' with Swiss 2836 from Narikaa in 2012.

Bracelets for them are stored elsewhere.  Two with solid mid links and two with hollow mid links.

Pic above was taken today

Wow!
