The 5508 case is nice but the dial looks like a matt service dial with white print not gilt relief. I have no idea what yuki's looks like but Minh would be the one to talk to for dials.. Unless of course you want to remortgage your house and buy a certain gen like gilt dial and use a 1530 mvmt..
Ive never liked any of his dials, he can provide ppl with an eta movement and spacer ring to go along with his cases now and you can use any dial really..
No! Haha, it's identical just now the buyer has movement choice,, eta with spacer ring from him or you source a gen movement sounds like a good deal to me, I've always maintained that if you use a phong case with a gen dial or redial on a gen plate then you HAVE to use a gen movement, but if you want to use any other dial like one of his or any other rep dial then why not use an eta? Cheaper and makes more sense
Same cases but he got ahold of a bunch of eta movements and I guess made custom spacer rings to accommodate them... He has pretty much ran out of genuine movements so you can buy a watch with an eta movement and spacer ring now but still have the quality of his cases for less money then using a genuine Rolex movement
Just in case anyone missed it, phong is now selling eta movements and dials/hands for his cases. http://www.jewelryandwatch.com/contents/en-us/d251_Submariners__and_Sea-Dweller.html http://www.jewelryandwatch.com/contents/en-us/d252_Sea-Dweller_1665-ETA.html
Thanks! I guess there are not many left these days, I emailed a parts hoarder friend of mine and the next day it magically arrived at my door, I got very lucky.
Thanks! You have only ever seen the insert, I got a gen 5513 that had a fake dial in it for a cheap price and just got the special dial and gen hands to complete my vision. It worked out well I think iPhone shots from before putting the band on.. Was a loooooong drive home
