You just need to drill out the existing lug holes with a 1.2mm bit to fit the gen spec spring bars.

Very nice job. Great shots too. Congrats

Looks Great! Congrats!

No a reprint. Haven't seen one since though.

Got lucky. Singer dial off the bay.

Thanks:) Good luck with your build.

With a bit of time and effort you can get reasonable results with a cartel case. Specs as follows: Cartel 5513 case, CGs shaped, lugs drilledETA 2846 movementClark T19 CrystalYuki bezel insertAthaya pearl and 702 crown and tube setWSO 580 end links and spring barsSinger dialTudor ETA handset Another cartel case, with similar spec I'm currently working on. This time I've exchanged the cartel bezel assembly with a bezel set off the bay with slightly deeper teeth :

Decisions, decisions... ...5513

Looks great. Congrats!

Haven't worn this for a while. PO 42mm

Cats, very sorry to hear that. Be strong.

5513 today

For the 5513 go for an ETA 2846 slow beat. Don't bother with the WSO bezel assembly, Cartel is gen-like. Just get the insert from WSO, the version with the acrylic pearl. Get a better pearl from Yuki, fat font insert from Yuki is also alternative option. Get the 5513 ETA dial and hand set from Yuki. Alternatively a refurbished Singer dial from Yuki or Ingod44 (you'll need to clip the feet to apply it to an ETA movement). A 703 crown and tube set, or the rep 702 set from Athaya. T19 from Clark is fine. Here's my Cartel based 5513:

Thanks. Forgot to mention the crystal is a T19 from Clark.

5513 today

Go for the Puretime version. It has an ETA 2846 movement, good case and engravings. Add some sword hands from Rafflestime, dial from ingod44 or Yuki. Bezel insert from WSO and pearl from Yuki. NATO strap from Phoenix. 703 crown and tube set, alternatively a rep 702 set from Athaya. Soften the case and add patina as desired. Here's mine:

Very nice!

Yeap, go for a 5513 instead. Pick up a Cartel version from Perfect Clones. Get a dial and hand set from Yuki. Get an ETA 2846 off the bay. Bezel insert from Yuki/WSO dependant on whether you like the fat font look. Shape the crown guards on the case. Get a 703 crown and tube set from Athaya. Pearl either Yuki or Athaya. T19 crystal from Clark. Soften the bracelet and case, add a little patina as desired. The result will be a decent rep

With those markings on the links and endlinks, I would say they are at least gen. Here's a shot of my gen endlinks.

Cheers:)
