Thanks for the comments and help guys:-) i really appreciate!
I have not written much so far, and I have dedicated myself to read a lot, I read several threads with the intervention of cc33, and Nanuq, it is a great honor to have the support and help from experts like you!
I love the way this Forum members collaborate in creating unique pieces and guides that are unique!
Unfortunately I could not take the insert, as sold first!
Today, however, is delivered to me the case of the 5508, updates to my post about it as soon as I receive it! :-)

My doubt is about the number 10, look like it's different from the other long five insert i have found!

Thank you so much for your great help cc33
 

Guys, for my 5508 build i try to found a gen insert a good price!

I've found this for like 650,00 euro, is this a genuine MK2 long five insert?

Thank You :-)

Thanks to All Guys :-)

With a gen or good aftermarket dial, handset, movement & crown, a nice aftermarket case like this 1 should pass the test.

Thank You Freddy

I have seen gen dial for sale, i have found one at 3900 euro, and a couple of service but the price still remain too much high for my budget!

So i will going on a good aftermarket!

MQ have only service vesion, NDT actually it's the favourite.

I have seen a Phong dial but the pic's dont help me to view it good!

Yours build it's a really beauty!

I want aging the case to give more vintage look,

Probably next week i receive the case set and will going to check if NDT dial work, order the dial and send out case for aging working!

And i just found a really good movement from a friend, a 1530 butterfly, but need to wait, seller come back from summer holiday late september, so need to wait a little!

Thank you for the beautiful photos Nanuq, looking at her I would love to be there to savor the views!
And that big crown it's amazing!

I love it.  Another great build is about to begin.    I am in hog heaven with all of the recent activity regarding vintage small crowns and big crowns.  

 

Thanks for posting about this and keeping us updated with your progress.  In my amateur opinion, I think this forum definitely has the most concentrated assortment of experts and the highest number of builds going simultaneously.  This place is like the Mecca for vintage small and big crowns.  

Thank you, will keep the post updated :-)

I think too the Rolex area it's the best online :-)

That case profile looks great! Here's one for comparison:

This is amazing!!!

Thank you so much for your help cc33!

You are probrably right, and i hope the 27.8mm dial fit good, because now i compared the NDT to Ingod44 and i much prefer the NDT.

I also noticed that there is a 15% discount on the purchase of a dial rolex by NDT so i keep finger crossed for dial 27,8mm size and waiting case set!

When arrive i update the thread!

Also forgot to mention, the dial included whit the case is 26.5 mm diameter, like the one on Ingod44 website!

The NDT one is 27.8mm.

Now i'm thinking i need to wait for the case set and meseaure the space for the dial!

Thank you for your reply cc33!

So excluding the insert, and rep crown the case it's good :-)

I concording to you about the caseback, when i have seen this caseback i have thinking about this beautiful case because in the other case set i have seen the caseback it's incorrect!

Thank you for advice about retaining ring, i just ask for sure and seller told me it's not pictured but is included as well

The crown and the dial it's the first things i planned to change! Genuine 24-600 crown it's on the way

I just re-seen the MQ dial on his website, and is the service version, so the NDT it's the one to go!

The ingod44 one it's not quite a good enough?

For the bezel insert i will going in the future to replace whit a mk3,

Actually probably i'm going on a NDT one or MQ for the moment, it's corret the one whit red triangle at 12? i like a lot!

And i need to found a Yuki 7206, the MQ one it's not the same quality as the yuki one i have read, it's correct?

Pm sent

Hello guys,

These days, a friend offered me a full case set for Sub 5508.

Unfortunately he does not know origin of the case.

The case is completed whit complete bezel assembly, insert, t16 crystal, crown and caseback.
Is also included the dial also, but i think i would replace whit one from MQ or maybe a 2 lines from Ingod44 for save a little cash.

What do you think of the case?

Consider he asking for the full case set whit dial it's not been discussed whit friend but his starting price it's would be in a 1000,00 euro range,

i think i need a good advice from you guys  before i pull the trigger!

Thank you to all

It's a really really great Job Akira,

Your watch now it's incredible beautiful pieces!

I really want a make one like yours, i have the V72 dial, now i'm going to order the cartel daytona!

Anyone can help me for found a modder to make this great work in EU?

I also Pm'ed the seller for this beauty!

Great catch :-)

Great picture and absolutely lovely piece here!

This build look like the best i have seen on a snowflakes, that modded Phong case it's AMAZING!
