Been meaning to complete a vintage 5513 for quite some time. Finally managed to get few remaining parts last week. In particular, a gilt dial I stumbled upon on a trip to NYC (thank you @lionsandtigers).
I'm calling this Phase one, because I'm not entirely happy with it yet. I thought I had bought a gen set of hands. As it turned out, the hour and minute did not fit ; only the seconds hand worked. So their authenticity is questionable. I've installed temporary aftermarket hands for now.
Here is the breakdown:
Yuki 5513 case/caseback - custom engraving
ST 703 tube
Gen 703 crown
Gen 5513 gilt dial
relumed Yuki hour and minute hands
Gen(?) seconds hand
Gen cal 1520 movement
Gen NOS retaining ring and friction disk (service)
Gen NOS bezel (service)
Gen mid font (?) insert - missing dot (i prefer it without)
Still waiting to mount it on a strap which has not yet arrived.
Phase 2 will be exciting. Stay tuned.
