Thank you for the input guys, if not worth i will try to score luminova gen service hands to match my service luminova dial :-)

Hello,

I’m building a franken 5513 and used a white gold index service dial.

I’m try to found gen hands but they are too pricey and out of my budget, that’s is already gone whit gen movement, dial and all other parts.
 

Some advice for best aftermarket hands for 1520 movements?

Thanks in advance for help 🙂

Hi Guys,

I have an older DW case i bought on forum couple of years ago.

I had the case drilled and tapped for genuine spec pushers.

Now since im in EU i will order a pair from Cousin Uk but on website i see two options, bot are P302 but one is 1.90mm and the other says 2.40mm (i not understand what this size refer to, probably the lenght)

Anyone have ordered lately or know which one to order?

Here is the link:

Thank you in advance for the help :-)

If you really want a superlative work, the best work seen on Phong case are done by Dbane, but you need to see if he could work for you ;-)

Yuki 7836 whit 382 unfortunatelly not fit the 1016 slim case (jmb or gen dj case as base) is good only for tudor MC and Sub to my experience but not fit 2mm bars.

I reccomended you the 7836 from mary for 60$ whit wso 580 end link from bay for 2mm bars as tomhorns sayd ;-)

The mbw dial relumed is really good.

The mbw hands are better than yuki, compared to my gen tritium sub hands.The only thing is the blue lume, should be green.

Anyone guys?

Hello Guys,

A friend of mine today mail me whit a purpose for his 6265 franken whitin a genuine 78350 bracelet whit 571 endlinks and genuine serviced Valjoux 72, the case, the dial and hands, bezel, crystal, pushers and crown is from Phong.

He bought and build this watch 6 years ago's.

I have ask him for new picture and for engraving picture, but he's out for a couple of days and for now i have only this picture!

Honestly i have compared this to other phong build, and i'm not too sure if this is a real Phong case or another aftermarket case.

What think about it?

Thanks to all for reply

I believe the dial is fake too!

And i believe this never existed in real Rolex!

Hi guys,

Seen this Sub 5513 on ebay, never seen one like this and dial look to be refinished!

Is this model ever existed? And which logo is this?

Thank you

Thank you guys for the help, i really appreciate

I have compared to gen Freddy and i understand what you mean :-)

Ronin the A in the submariner is flat top!

Meadowsweet i would put in a MBW case whit genuine bezel insert, plexy, crown & tube whit an eta 2846 so maybe this could be ok!

The price is 280$

Anyone would chime in this?

I would pull the trigger but the asking price it's not cheaper, so i'm looking for advice from member have more clue in the DRSD!

Hello guys,

I'm in the middle of change a dial of my 1665 DRSD and i have received a purpose on this 1665 refinished dial on a singer plate!

Now this look like mimic MK 3, so would have printed on a Beyeler plate, but this is not a problem, i just interested in yours opinion about the printing!

Here is the pics:

What you think about quality? What could be the maker for us?

Thank you for all help guys

I think the Yuki rivets it the correct one for yours.

Or you can buy a Josh 7836 (good quality links) and install a  WSO 580 end link and a SUB CLASP (TC, CARTEL 93250 it's good also)

For the Yuki one's i have bought a couple (one on my Tudor MC and one on my 1675 and it is exactly like the gen one that i have sold after buy this two)

I buy 5x if this would be made

Dear DH i think you can find one on all actually cartel version of 16570 or 16710 from PT (maybe he have only the spare bracelet, in the past i have bought a couple of 93150) it's not that bad for what it cost whit a little mod and reshaping from what i remember (actually not have anymore)

You can view it on 16710 from PT here:

This is how many vintage builds go, first you find your dial, then you find everything else. 

 

Patience.... with a case this nice, take the time to do it right.

Absolutely Nanuq, whit this case i need to have patience and found the right dial :-)

The end result looks super. Nicely done.

Thank you Freddy :-)

This case is amazing!! Lovely and slim! Don't waste your time putting an eta in it. If you have the funds drop a gen cal inside!! Will be amazing

Life's a [censored], then you marry one!

Yes, i think it's the best way to go and save a lot of works, ETA not fitting correctly and need also a retaining ring so i think i will wait a couple of months for my 1530 butterfly!

The dial it's a really big problem now,

NDT not reply at my mail :-(

Ingod44 not it's my favourite and not reply!

MQ have only service version, i have asked for other version but still not responding!

Yuki not have any more, and his version it's not to much gen like.

Genuine will be too much rare and expansive so i need to found another 5508 good aftermarket dial options!

Thank you so much Nanuq, i have finally fix the bezel!

The eta 2824 seems not fit good so i need to wait for that 1530 :-)

Great method to fix the dial on eta movement! thank you davis :-)

This one it's a really great too!

Mail togheter, hope one of this become mine :-)

I have mailed NDT whitout any reply :-(

Ingod44 still in business i think, but when i try to place an order on his website his PP is disabilited!

I need info's too, i really need a NDT dial for my 5508 project!

Thanks!

Wow - so you got one of the elite case sets! Let me know if you want to get rid of it...

Unfortunately i have leave it at one of my friend! i'm sorry!

But your case it's a very good worked, i have seen the ephry pic's about it, a lot of work done on that Trevor case!

Finally i have the case set in my hands and i will post some pic's of what i received!

Retaining ring

The case set it's amazing, the quality it's really really good, the profile it's unbeliveable, look at how good it's the thin profile and the theeth of bezel and correct caseback are very good!

I dont like too much the dial and the insert so if i found a genuine insert at good price i will go whit gen, or fit a yuki ones whit some aging work (need to do this on the case and on the bezel also)!

I have managed to view if the NDTrading dial feet, and fortunally will fit perfect :-)

The genuine 1530 need to wait because i grab a butterfly one's from a friend but he told me come back from the holiday, whit the service and all the other waiting time, i dont think i have it in my hand before 3 months!

For the moment (i'm located in EU so i need to wait a little bit for NDT dial) i would manage to make some work of aging on the dial (first try so perfect trial dial, no need this one) and try to mount whit an eta 2846, the only problem now is movement ring to hold the eta movement!

I also managed to found a good matching lume vintage handset for ETA so i hope i found the movement holder and mount on 2846 first and swap later in 1530 butterfly!

I try to mount the bezel but it's not easy, anybody have info about mount a bezel like this?

Thanks to ALL :-)

Great, i sent a mail for view if is avaible :-)

Thank you for your advice Pam!

Great build, i love the 5514, probably it's my favourite reference all over the crownguard sub!

Yours it's lovely, i found an HH 5514 case set, but i ended up buying the DenimHead Comex :-)
