Yes you can send you caseback to him and he will do the work for you, you can even send him your MBW midcase and he will make it look like a 30 yo case, he is very very good at aging a case ! He will polish your lugs to make them thinner and he will also polish the sharp edges of your case.. He can even delete the wrong Polex design from your case and re engrave a custom serial number ( the engravings are very very good btw, honestly there are no rep case that is engrave as phong do)

THE case back engravings master is phong he can custom engrave it. Dbane and whoopy worked together with phong to create this awesome caseback that ww12345 and I have. Correct font, correct coronet. Drilling an HEV in a 5513 midcase isn't a good idea if you ask me because the 5514 has a specific midcase construction inside

Those are two different 6263 one is a big read and the other one has a another dial variation both of them looks completely gen to me

Mine says hello : (phong 5514 + Whoopy 5514)

I think yes, have you ever contacted them !?

A gen 5513 midcase alone will cost you around 1300€ the prices are increasing. And honestly a phong 5513 is as good as gen if you plan to go all gen parts it is the best way to go (if you don't have the fund for a gen midcase)

With orange markers ? Lol you know those rep with imitated patina on the dial doesn't look well, the best way is to have the dial relume by one of our modder here or in another forum to make the tritium look more convincing .. Anyway all the TD's (most of them) offers vintage sub with patina on the dial, go check the TD list and see what they offer in their website. I suggest you to check Josh website ( perfect clones ) he has a lot of vintage Rollie with fake aging on them (tropical dials or just patina on the markers ) Cheers

If you are using all gen parts for a 5512/3/4/7 build I would advice you a better case like a phong

Whoopy is the most honest guy I've seen here on the forums and if I knew it was him I wouldn't jump to conclusions like that. If he tells you that he paid that amount of money for it then I guess he did and that's unfortunate for him. This is the rep game, sometimes you earn some sometimes you lose some. Whoopy is one of the nicest guy I have ever dealt with and the good thing about him is he designed and developed several dials as per gen with some HK factory and allowed us to own some perfect printed dial for our reps !

+1

As you know there is not such an 1:1 rep case especially at this price .. The best alternative to gen is phong 5513 case

Lol ok so this explains everything .. He also invented the "source" of the case set [emoji23][emoji23]

And by the way ? Who the hell is MK ? Lol Michael Kors [emoji23]

You are welcome my friend I am glad I helped you ! This is why this place is meant for ! By the way HR is also able to make you a ROLEX dial aged with lume with the hands and trust me they are pretty damn good !! Better than any rep dial that TD 's offer or yuki offer. Actually the only good dials I have seen are the one from Whoopy and HR. Just ask her she will help you for your build ! I am also on RepGeek, I will PM you [emoji6]

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=321607985115 200USD from HR, just ask her for the branded version if you want the ROLEX logo on the crown and with the engravings .. She also offer the 5517 case set for milsub with fixed bars and 60 minutes graduated bezel insert

400USD ? Lol HR sells it for like 200USD on eBay shipped you just have to ask her for the "branded logo version" It looks like someone wanted to make some extra money with you

Here are some pictures of the cases when HR engraves it: Here is the beZel assembly of it, quiet poor : Hr told me that her crown is a 703 but actually it is a 702, I have tried to fit it in a gen 703 tube and it didn't then I realized that the thread of her crown, comes from the top to the bottom of the crown, like the 702 crowns and she told me that it fit her gen 5513 1969 tube, which is possible because the 5513 was launched with a 702 crown and tube then has been replaced by the 703 by RSC when you have your gen watch services:

this is an HR case mate ! I have one and the quality of it isn't very good actually, especially the bezel assembly which is made of very cheap material, and it is not gen specs, the Crystal also isn't gen specs, the OD isn't same as gen. The good thing about this case is the fact that it can take a gen ROLEX caliber inside, And the insert is very nice but the pearl is too big and not very accurate HR stated the crown of the case as a 7030 but it is actually a 702 one, the long coronet engraved on the crown doesn't look bad though. The negative point about it is the small crown guards, the whole bezel assembly with the Crystal And the engravings of the case if it came with engravings. PS: HR is Helena Rou a seller on eBay, a lot of member uses her cases on the homage forum for her big crown cases, milsub or 5513/ Tudor snow flake. Hope this help !

Beautiful Ezio ! What an awesome gift ! Merry Christmas to you all !

Is it for a big crown ? Phong case or a non gen specs case ?

It depends, does the movement work properly ? Are you it is a gen and not an Asian clone stated as gen from the TD? Does it need service ? Please post a picture of it and we will tell you if it is gen or an Asian clone engraved with ETA symbol

Thanks. I will make a review of it when it's done. I am using a phong 5514 case with a Whoopy 5514 dial

I have also this combo on the road for my Franken 5514

Beautiful crown. Athaya 7020 crown and tube ?

Phong is definetely the man !! He is able to do exactly what you want but you have to pay the price. A bit expensive but he got tools, skills and an excellent service
