Hi all together and a happy new year.
I’m a member since 10/2017.
My interest in mechnical watches starts twenty years ago (with age of 27).
Six years ago i started to work on my own watches. My dream was a 5513 Submariner from 1971.
After reading a lot about vintage Submariners i learned that most of them are not 100% original after a long time.
I saw the prices they should cost......wow....
I thought: So much money for a (may be) not 100% original vintage Sub ? That‘s not my way !
I decided to build my own 5513 based on aftermarkert part and some original parts.
Now, after i build a few 5513 models my next big project for 2019 is to build a 5513 with original 1530/1560 movement based
on an phong case.
But now let me show you my own builds. They all are based on Richie cases with Various movement. I only use original ETA movements.
2824, 2846, 2472, 2451
Dials and hands on some of them are vintage lumed by myself.
Ok, lets have a look....
Cheers…
