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:)

Congrats looks good. Great write-up

Crystal retaining rings would be a winner, enable everyone to do away with the infamous nylon gasket on Rolex watches. Good luck with your projects

Nice one!

You might get lucky and find a gen crown and tube. Wouldn't be too difficult to install.

Nice! Got a shot of the side, be great to see the bezel profile.

Thanks:) I've got the Sunnydale crystal too, fantastic AR!

Sorry to hear about your problem, but thanks for sharing. I have pretty much the same spec on my PO. I do my own mods, however I've been holding off on the crown and tube as the rep one hasn't been giving me any problems. I did replace the HE valve with a gen, as that is a big tell on the v.5 PO.

5517 today ... or maybe the PO

Nice watches guys. Here's mine from Josh. With a Singer dial and Polexpete DWO. Bezel insert and pearl from Yuki.
