MQ has a fat font with serif that looks not bad to me. Unfortunately he ask +200€ for it and it’s a bit hard to deal with him. He will try to send you another insert than the one you ordered based on his website pics. It’s pricey for an aftermarket but far less than gen fat fonts insert.

Nice !

@djulink Still looks good my friend

thanks for sharing, you and e30m3 got me going to start a 5513 project. Awesome job on yours...

Thanks mate ! I hope to see yours soon

I use the same GS crystal on my Subs. Gorgeous indeed for 10$  

Here is the link to my decals thread where I shared photoshop templates.

 

 

You will find a roulette file to print on decals. You will have to find the good print size according to you dial date window, 23.24mm work well for mine. To sum up, take off overlay from your movement date wheel, erase numbers with alcohol to keep white background only, apply decal with microscale micro set and and let it dry a day, then glue this nice overlay on date wheel and enjoy it

 

 

The Society is a professional photographer, it makes a big difference...

Hello Bart
Why the dial looks greenish?
I had a Vietnamese 6542 dial also look like dark green too.

Hi Calvin
It’s probably the combination of gold and black ink on transparent decals when sunlight hit at some angle.
Concerning VN dials it’s probably the combination of black ink and transparent yellow varnish layer in same condition of light.

You will need a movement ring.

This one should fit http://rafflestime.com/movement-ring-for-eta-2824-or-others-that-fit-size-2/

Hi what movement can fit in a 5500/1200 case? Eta 2824? ETA 2836?

2824

Congrats for this looking great first build mate !

 

I used this GS plexi on my 6538 and 5512 builds, one of the best we can find without spend $$$ in CWP T19

Insert looks better know. Well done mate !

Welcome.... to the Dark Side

 

This "Who should not be named" dial is the most amazing thing we could see in this hobby.

Ok, but really strange that soemone else has her whatsapp number now, the number +1 347 749 8769 is the same you guys have, right?

You misread it, it’s ...8796

Yes I presume they are all from the same factory, then some sellers work on. 

Correct crown height on these cases because they are made for gen movements. 

It was a pleasure my friend, I could not leave one of my "babies" in this condition
I'm pleased to read you like it, and I must admit I liked to wear a Silix again for few hours before send it back to you. I allow myself to add some wristcheck and dial photos.
And yes I repolished the bevels a little bit.
