Thanks! The hev does not necessarily need to work. If the hev looks correct, it's fine. In this case I also don't have to worry about water resistance.

Isn't the 5514 case a 5513 with HEV? Then it would be easier to buy a 5513 and drill the hev?

I'm building the same watch. The case is the last part I have to source. The best cases are the ones from HH. Unfortunately almost impossible to find. Yuki and Phong are the other possibilities, but a way higher price.

One more question: are the tc sub hands v2 fine or do i have to look for the v1?

Sead from supermirrors uploaded pictures of the new cartel 5514 and 1665: https://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/298281-sub-COMEX-vintage-with-date-and-no-date-UPDATED-CASESET

Would be great if someone can chack these cases an tell me whether the 5514 case would be good to start my 5514 build. Unfortunately it looks like they used the same mid-case for the 5514 and the 1665?

Thanks for your help. The only concern I have with the mbw are possible customs issues because I'm located in the EU.

What about going with a cartel and adding a HEV? But then I would have to add an aftersales bezel assembly to fit the gen insert, correct?

Maybe there is someone with a HH case left

I've decided to build a 5514 comex and like to share this project with you.

I already have the following parts:

- Whoopy Dial

- Athaya 702 Crown / Tube

- Swiss ETA 2846 Movement

- gen 5513 Insert

In addition I would like to use the following parts:

- good 5514 case

- good rep 93150 Bracelet

- Clark crystal

- WSO 580 endlinks

- TC 16610 Hands Set V2

The only problem I have is to source a good case. I have read that the HH cases are the best for 5514 builds. Unfortunately, I haven't found one so far. If you have one, please let me know. Otherwise, what cases can you recommend? Phong's are too expensive for the moment.

Do you still have the Whoopy 5514 comex dial? I'd be interested.
