  1. Thanks I won't be keeping the 5513. Will be up for sale once I get enough posts. I didn't want to invest in a new dial after building up the 5517 so I'm just gonna let it go. My fault for not paying attention to the details!

  2. Mine came in today. Looks really good! The bezel was free spinning so I added the tension spring from the HR bezel I had and now it works perfect. I don't know enough about Rolex case shapes to say how gen it is, but I'm gonna throw a t19 on it, a nice bracelet and call it a day.

  3. Here's what the watch looks like now with Clark's t19 and watchman bezel. It fit together nicely but I'm guessing that the retaining ring isn't 100% flat it binds in places and won't take the thin wavy washer without locking up. Any ideas?

    There's also a tiny gap under the bezel from the gasket. Should I ditch the gasket? You think uv glue would be enough to keep it water tight?

  4. With the help of jelliottz I picked up a bezel assembly from watchman408 and a Clark t19 crystal. Only thing left to do is get a crown from Adrian and Athaya. And then I think I'll be done with this one.

  5. I've searched the Clark's store and didn't see the bezel. Am I missing something. Also, the wso bezel come with the retaining ring, does the Clark's version come with one? I'll also look into the crown.

    My plans for this watch was just a bezel swap and Clark's T19. I'll probably get the crown as well. I don't really know enough about 5513 case shape to tell if it looks gen or not, but from what everyone is saying, its all wrong!

    Also where can I find St bezels?

  6. Hello everyone. Great builds here! I recently picked up a HR 5517 and everything is great (for me) other than the bezel. I've read that WSO makes a bezel that fits, but every thread I've read about it, it seems like the bezel is stuck solid once it's installed. Are there alternatives to the WSO bezel that works like gen?

    Here's my 5517. ETA 2824-2 complete build. HR aged the hands and dial for me.

  7. Hello everyone longtime lurker here. I used to post a lot on HF before moving to Seiko and then I found the milsub. :) which leads me here. I bought a complete HR 5517 and the bezel assembly is really bad. I've read that the wso bezel would fit. Any other suggestions? I'm trying to go with one that is more gen-like. I'm very new to this world. I also put an order in for the MBW 5513 so I'm pretty excited about that watch!

    I'm on Tapatalk and it crashes every time I try to attach a photo so I'll have to figure that out.
