Assuming dial is gen gilt, it's worth $6k alone.

Oops. Just read the dial was refinished. Yeah. It's a head scratcher.

I cannot receive messages via the desktop version of RWG. Even in tapatalk, I can only see new PMs through the "notification" tab.... Not in RWG section of TaT if you know what I mean.

Anyone else having this problem?

ok  found it....  http://www.ebay.ca/itm/rolex-submariner-5512-Case-/121984714750?hash=item1c66db07fe:g:fEYAAOSw1KxXNMjv

as the seller says, it appears to be a legit case (although the pics are crappy and missing a side profile shot), but its odd that the serial numbers were redone, yet the reference engravings look original.  Most likely a watch that was stolen at some point and time. 

Congrats.  If I recall, the case started out as a badly over-polished phong case (purchased m2m) that was restored as well as it could be given the circumstances.  Thats the thing about Phong.. its sometimes a crap-shoot about what kind of case you get from him.

Glad it all came together.  it's been a long road for you.

No.

The closest Starbucks is 6 km away from my house. I don't think I could live further away from one within the city.

It's made from all gen parts. Case, 3035, dial, ..everything gen sourced from different places.

There was a time when the 666 was my favorite Rolex.

I built this a couple years ago but regrettably sold it....

An expandable rivet bracelet (e.g. 6636) has links that spread apart when a force pulls at them. The links are held together by internal "springs". When the force is removed, the links retract to original length.

The links of a 7206, 9315, 93150, etc remain fixed when a force is applied. Non expandable bracelets encompass the vast majority of Rolex bracelets.

No. The 703-0 tubes that cousins has is fine(correct) for a 5513 if you want to use a 703 crown. Depends on how period -correct you want to be.

1960's 5513's used 700-0 tubes. Early-mid '70's used 702-0 tubes, and late 70's-late '80's used 703-0 tubes.

the 7mm tubes listed on that page is only the 703-0 tube (which only accept 703 or 704 crowns)..   you cannot install a gen 700 nor athaya 700 (twinlock) crown on a 703-0 (triplock) tube.

if you want to install a 700 crown, you will need a 700-0 tube.
