ILoveWatches!

To be honest it did blow my mind when i saw it and hes looking to sell it if the right buyer comes around but im not trying to sell it for him. I dont want anyone to get that idea that im posting from him to help him sell. I could care less if he sells it or not. I just thought ppl would like to see a gen 5517 with papers that was in really good condition. I also agree my pictures are horrible in this post i had to use my work iphone 5c (didnt have the iphone7 on me at the time) and later on the pics i take will be the a hell of alot better, with serial numbers and paperwork so everyone can see. I just think its amazing that he got the watch and its in such great condition and the paperwork looks like the last owner didnt even fold it, just kept it in a folder.

This isnt a prank guys i looked at this in person yesterday. The only thing that might have been changed was the bezel. The pics i took dont help either but ill get better ones this evening. Everyone says its a rep now just like the post about someones New Ceramic Daytona and the owner asked whats gen and whats rep on it and everyone thought it was a fraken but it was completely gen. Ill try to find the link to the post. Dont judge quite yet. Also the movement is gen that i know for sure and ill snap pics of it tonight along with the paperwork box and serial numbers on the watch. Heres the link to the Completely Gen Daytona which lots of ppl said this or that looked rep and like crap but in the end it was 100% GEN When i get better pictures tonight youll see that its gen.

So i stoped by my friends shop yesterday and he had somthing amazing for me to see! Sorry for the crappy pics ill be going back today to get some good close ups and caseback and movement pics. He also has the original paperwork that was issued with this watch 40 or so yrs ago. Its in great condition never been polished and runs like a champ. I put it on next to my explorer 2 and tried to trade but he wasnt having it lol. Hes looking for around 130,000$ for the watch and paperwork/. Does that sound low with original paperwork?

Heres a gen Milsub 5517 everyone will love.

Save yourself a 100$ there both the same. Both good quality. Eta is just a well know brand name and ppl charge more for that. IMOP

@Sogeha Thanks for that I thought there was only one size. I really like these models, simple, clean and a classic look. the only thing that im not to hot with is the little plots before the hour markers, some of the colors just dont work for me personaly. Like The purple dial has a red or redish orange plots which i dont think works very well. My own oppion tho.

I think the only correct spacing for the registers will be the Val 72 in this model and the eta 77xx might work but im not sure about the spacing. The Eta 2892-A2 DD Mod on it has the seconds running at 3 o'clock or 6 o'clock but im not sure they have it runing seconds at 9 for those eta's I could be wrong. Best thing to do is take a look at one of the Heuer fourms that focus only on heures they might know. I forgot what the forum was called but its only for Heure watches.

Stormtooper4 I believe i bought the 39mm. Ill post pics how it looks when i get it. The gen is in only one size right? 39mm right? I dont think they make the gen in 34mm but im not 100% sure? Also all the videos i see about the purple rep looks great, the color looks really damn close to gen. It remindes me of the sunburst style dials they do. Hopefully it looks as good or better in person.

yup just ordered one in the "grape" color for my sister.

if the movement is a cheap chinese time only movment and not a 75xx movement then theres no way to make the chonos work with out swaping the movemnt and most likely it wont fit your case.

The eta 2846 is your best bet without a date which would have only winding and time setting but you can do it with any eta movement to make it time and winding set only, very easy to do and only need to swap out one part.

I could see these at a Pam Boutique selling for 100$ a piece. Beautiful!!! GREAT WORK!!!

If you didnt move the feet around then im thinkng this could be a get. Everything is nicely done but the word Automatic seems like its done with a differnt paint when they applied it to the dial, it looks thicker im 70% thinking its gen and 300% rep. lol

Ive never been a huge Breitling fan and i cant see myself spending 3000-4k on a watch with a eta7750 that has a small tweak to call it a in house movement. theres tons of companies that make true from scratch 100% in house movements for under 4k. But to each its own and to be honest I really like the black dial lol.

Love the watch, LOVE The texture of the dial and the black band. What size is the watch? im guessing its 42-44mm if so its too big for me. But Its a SWEET WATCH!!!!
