The screw heads could be gently sanded down.....

Rolex ref: 5512, 5513, 1665, 5517, 5514, 1680 and Tudor 7928, 7021, 7016, 94110, 79090 all have the same bezel assembly. Is this include the retaining ring? How about the id?

Very nice tudor there...

and the most important is the rear cg look must have this "square u" shape

Genuine case is the same for Rolex 5513/5512/1680/Milsub 5517/Sea-Dweller 1665/Tudor Sub 9401

Here all FF & TR by Davidsen

Original on Apollo rubber straps

The best ff rep so far!

The watch is great but would have looked better in a leather strap i guess...you might wanna look into that...

Genuine rolex military 5517 have a 2mm welded lugs, to prevent the watch from being accidentally lost underwater and it is issued on a NATO strap made by Phoenix UK.

A fantasy watch custom made for a Japanese Collector by a Hong Kong Watch Maker from Swiss parts assumably for US Marine Corps . Phew..... more details from  http://corvuswatch.blogspot.com/2011/09/greatest-rolex-that-never-was.html

May I know how much for Yuki bezel assy? Thanks.

Phong want $1,650.00 for 5517 case phew......

FYI, after hours of research there only appears to be one manufacturing source for Aftermarket (Gen Spec) 1675 Bezel's and Inserts. So J&W @ $300 is the SAME part from Yuki, NDT, Classic, Clark, etc. and ultimately the SAME part from Mr. Slimeball/WSO who is the cheapest.

Moving along to the insert, the big tell on the insert is the overhanging 2's in 22, and squished 6 in 16.

So WSO is not genuine size then we have to use gen parts only?

Ouch! So any recommended seller for 5517 bezel assemblies?

Looking to do this type of build too

Great work!

Thanks for this great review and comparison.

A good topic for reading. Well done guys!

Nicely detailed review! BTW do anybody know the case dimension for 5512/5513/5517? Is it the same with this 1680? Thanks.

and another thing is the power reserved... 56 hours for 6497-2 and 41 hours for 6497/6479-1 http://www.beco-technic.com/index.php?cat=c4853_6497--UNITAS-.html

Very nice sharing. I also subscribed to sand casting method but from stainless steel.

great use for me, tqs...

Great watch! Nice post and sharing.

Tqs for this informative guide.

Unluckily, all the pic are dead.... Any chance of re-up?
