Dear RWG,
it's been a while since I posted here but I am tempted to have a go at a build these days. I have at my disposal a decent cal. 1530 from a non-chronometer Air King, early 60s.
Would it be feasible for some of the last non-chrono 1530s to end up in early 5513's?
Ruby is selling a 5513 vietnam case stamped III.64, which might just make the cut for realistically housing a 1530.
If this sounds like a reasonable proposition, I was intending to add
- gen SL Service Dial (these seem to be obtainable some cracked, some not)
- gen SL Service Hands
- gen SL Service Insert
Which crown and stem would be appropriate for this build? Is a gen tropic a "must"?
Nowadays, is there a reliable EU modder on this board who could do some case work and assemble everything?
Sorry for all the questions, if this is a feasible build and people have some parts they'd like to sell, please get in touch.
Thanks!
