    Thanks The base watch was from Puretime. Dial from Ingod44, bezel assembly from WSO. Bezel insert off the bay, pearl from Yuki, gen spec crown. Hands a mix of sources, Raffles/Yuki, etc. Shortened the tail of the second hand to be more gen like. Phoenix NATO. Added a little patina to everything. Think that's about it.

    extremely nice work, if you ever consider selling pm me first!

    There is only one rep that is an attempt at the updated breitlings out there, but its so bad i would probably need to spend as much as the gen costs, if i could find a reputable place to get parts from

    Which i don't think there is for the updated models 

    So its not really an option

    This hobby is painfully addictive and expensive. I myself am sinking more damn money into a Gen build 5513 and it hurts. Also, have you thought of looking for a different model? Maybe you can find something different that you like. Just a thought.

    youyou need a new wife... quit complaining

    Now that's a bit harsh even for me.

    Life's hard tyrant, and it only gets worse sometimes, you just have to get up in the morning and face the day. Nobody here is going to want you gone but you need to relax. Just hang around, contribute and play nice and you will be accepted with welcome arms.

  16. 5514 crystal retaining ring diameter question

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    Guys, I wonder if someone more knowledgeable than myself can help me. Does anyone know the diameter of a genuine crystal retaining ring. I have one (supposedly gen) which measures 35.52 which is larger than my gen bezel assembly which measures 35.3, obviously the assembly cannot fit on a retaining ring which is larger. The bezel

    Is gen and from a sealed package so I know it's gen. Any help? Thanks.

    Opps, I meant a 5513, not 5514
