I have bought two Oris watches in my life, one is a Pointer Date chronometer back in 1995, and the other is a Pan Europe 3-hander. The Pointer Date was great and had proved to be accurate. The Pan Europe? Not so much...it was consistently losing about 8 seconds a day. Here's my rep 5513 Cartel based with a gen dial and gen insert. I put in a gen 2824-2 and the accuracy and reliability are top notch, better than the Pan Europ actually in terms of accuracy. Gaining 1.5 seconds a day average. For me personally? The 5513 is so much more fun to wear than the Pan Europ I gifted the latter to my son last year as his 16 year old birthday present. Yes there are a lot of watches available in the 1k range...just not a lot that interest me. Sent from my Mi MIX 2S using Tapatalk

If you remove the bezel carefully you'll find a friction washer installed between the bezel and the crystal retaining ring. I bend this washer slightly to adjust the turning resistance of the bezel. a watch is meant to be worn I take it you've never find this before so here's a video a watch is meant to be worn

All vintage Subs do NOT have a click spring, they are bi-directional and had friction washers under bezel to hold their position. This is the same with 5513. a watch is meant to be worn

It is an interesting and great looking piece. But for that kind of money I'd probably opt for a 1016...just saying. a watch is meant to be worn

And the Tiffany & Co blue strap color to match that dial...PERFECT! a watch is meant to be worn

I meant I'd sell a kidney for something that gorgeous as a joke...so apparently I was kidding [emoji6] a watch is meant to be worn

Oh wow, do you take kidneys? Kidding aside THAT is one perfect piece! a watch is meant to be worn

Mike did an amazing job for my TC V2 hands to match the gen 5513 dial's patina. I only sent him photos of my dial and the hands came out spot on! Couldn't be happier. a watch is meant to be worn

Thanks mate. CGs are still not quite where I'd like them to be...just couldn't find the time to work on them further a watch is meant to be worn

Speechless Suddenly I feel like mine belongs to the bin... a watch is meant to be worn

Is it just me or is that MBW 5512/3 case looking mighty fine even before any work done? Makes me wonder why we spend so much time trimming CGs... I need to do something about those darn ugly hands... Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk

Hi Tats, Remember your evil twin? The first things I didn't like when I first received mine was the hands. Gen hands have a curvature to them but the hands on our piece are completely flat. A bit hard to explain in words but if you've handled a TC with V2 hands or gen you'll know. And like some already mentioned the proportions of the hands are wrong as well. Here's a photo of the TC V2 hands and I think you can see how they are curved and pick up light reflections... Second thing was the CGs. I trimmed the CGs slightly but since I don't have any power tools it's only coming together slowly. There really is no point going uberfranken at all. A decent gen is only about 7k so I for one wouldn't bother. Sent from my D6653 using Tapatalk
