Nightwatch

For just otb it looks pretty neat already. With some changes it will be fantastic. Looking forward to see how this will turn out with the new dial.

1948 "oversized" again

Ok, so that was short-lived. Still it depends on the caseset itself and which movements it does take, dial feet could be cut off.

Interesting idea: here are some specs/comparison/info on the movement: http://www.strela-watch.de/watch_movements/3133-maktime-poljot/ Just posting to follow-up later if this is feasible, stem-height etc.

Looking forward to see that dial fitted in the finished 5513. Beautiful:)

Battery life was 2 years and 8 months. Going to check what battery is in it the next few days.

Thanks docthor- very nicely said Lugholes are a great invention - supereasy to change the strap and looks in a moment, didn´t mention that above.

Joining a good part of nostalgia with reliability, simplicity, good power reserve, excellent readability and light on the wrist/ease of use this 5513 has advanced to be one of my favourite/ most worn watches in 2016. At the bedside by night, on the wrist by day the philosophy behind it is quite simple. In the last 60+ years it has been all over the World. It has been serviced and fixed by some excellent and by other mediocre watchsmiths in the most remote corners in the World - with those parts that were available and not those that are period correct, a crown here, a plexi there, some hands that were available. Relumed, repolished and just "fixed" this has never seen a ROSC from the inside and it never will.

Cool picture, great watches, very modern overall effect.

test-posting a pic and from photobucket it does not work for now...

Chase from cover into more open ground; "drive the game" lol Maybe place a WTB request, good luck.

All original pre 1950 Omega with seconds at six

The vintage rolex airkings are 21j cheapos but looked nice for very little money.

That Tudor - what a beauty:) (with the Pan-AM GMT being from another Universe)
