  1. Ok - So I had a summarized build-thread already, but it was lengthy and I wanted to start fresh with a new post, as I am now calling the watch finished. Since the last post I have swapped the hands and added a genuine clasp to the bracelet. Special thanks again to Dbane, NeckyZips, MillerDave and Yuki as well as other members I picked up various odds and ends from. Many thanks to the community over-all for the insight, wisdom and motivation to build this. Spec's 1680 style sterile case - transformed by Dbane with gorgeous bevels and finish-work. I drilled out the lug-holes myself, but they needed some extra help, as did everything else. Spot-on mid-case engraving done by Neckyzips. Genuine 5512 Caseback - sourced from VRF - with Genuine OEM Rolex 5513 case-back sticker from eBay/Germany applied. Genuine Rolex T-19 Plexi Genuine 55xx hands - steel, sourced on eBay, relumed by Big Dazza. Replaced gilt/bright gold hands in favor of these. Genuine Rolex 700 Crown and Tube Genuine Rolex cal.1520 movement, completely rebuilt with new (genuine) auto-rotor and main-spring by master watchmaker Genuine Clasp mounted to rep Rivet Oyster Bracelet (StoneP sourced) - have genuine spring-bars and 2 other straps. Genuine Bezel assembly with aged rep insert sourced from Big Dazza Yuki 5513 Gilt Underline Dial - relumed and aged by Big Dazza, genuine foot-stem positions for a smooth fit This is my first build here - really thrilled with it all together. Here's the link to the original thread and again, these shots were taken with Canon EOS DSLR with 35mm lens. Tuned in Photoshop. For sale, $34,500.00 (clearly, I have no wish to part with it, ha-ha)
  2. Gentlemen, Your thoughts please. What do you think about lugs and CGs? Josh case reshaped Gilt Dial from Tony, resumed by Kenny, hands relumed and bronze aged. Ofrei insert dot Athaya crown and tube Yuki hands set Clark plexi ETA 2836 Cartel bracelet.
  3. Hey all !!! Today I want to introduce my last mod, a Rolex 5513 marked as Tiffany & Co. Made for a customer, according to his own wishes! Some time ago I wrote a nice member and he asked if I could make a 5513 Tiffany & Co. (Similar to the one in the photo) for him. Yeah sure why not! I have researched on the Internet and my well-known handlers for a finished Tiffany & Co Dial, but unfortunately nothing found! Lastly, I wrote HR whether to reprint a custom Dial, within a few hours I got his commitment and drawings from the desired dial! After a wait of 30 days I got the Tiffany Dial and I could go with the manufacture! Here the rest components: Case: The cheap variant 5513 (dg 2813) by Sead. Crown and Tube: Athaya 700. Bezel Insert: Yuki. Movement: ETA 2451 low beat movement (NOS, revised und regulated). Plexi: T19 Superdome. Bracelet: Cartel folded 7836 with WSO 585 end links. I hope you liked it my presentation
  4. Hi guys, my new Rolex 5513 is finished! I have used the following parts: MBW Case (completely revised). Athaya 702 Crown and Tube. ETA 2789-1 movement. Singer stamped dial (relumet). GEN Insert. GEN Plexi. Yukiwatch hands.
  5. Ladies & Gentlemen, For your consideration: Genuine Rolex Cal.1520 serviced, worn parts replaced including auto-wind mech and balanceGenuine Rolex T-19 PlexiGenuine Rolex 700 crown and tubeGenuine bezel assembly, modified to case. (I tried many rep assemblies and then messed with the gen one I bought, thinning the outer part of the plexi retainer with a dremel...risky, but it worked.)Genuine Rolex MKII Fat InsertGenuine Rolex Singer plate dial, refinished, gilt gloss. Tritium effect, uneven fade, semi non-luminous plots by Big Dazza per special request.Genuine Rolex Gold Hands same as above, Big DazzaUnknown PCG Case - reshaped by DBane, myself, and engraved by NeckyzipsRep 7206 bracelet and 80 endlinks (Neckyzips engravings)Genuine Rolex claspNOS Rolex Case-back Sticker, Radiation Safe, as per early to mid 1960's advertsGenuine Rolex Box, pillow and wrap, polishing cloth. Papers by Rolojack. It's been a labor of love, and taken quite some time. I'm very happy with it. I am declaring it finished and moving on to my next project as well as a gen 1675 acquisition. Hope you enjoy the pics/post.
  6. In my eternal quest for perfection, even though it's unobtainable, I have added a box and papers to the 5513. I am also debating putting back on a gen "worn-in" insert versus the grey rep. I enjoy swapping things around. My brother has a fine Swiss typewriter from the correct period of the watch, we'll be using that to fill in the paperwork with the corresponding serials', etc. Should come out beautifully. I also have a fountain pen with correct age ink (I'm weird, I know) for the rest of it. What do you guys think? It's basically almost all gen, including a totally rebuilt cal.1520 that runs perfectly. DBane worked his magic on the case, the chamfers are gorgeous. The picture with the black insert is just it sitting over the other. You might be lucky to be seeing this watch for sale at some point in the near future Nothing on it is stock-rep, it's either genuine or highly modded. If someone has a better insert, I'm open to it
  7. Here it is again for your eyes: my PCG. Now fitted with a repolished Yuki bracelet... This looks so much better than the folded one! For those who don't know this watch, here are the specs: Polex mid case re milled (1mm less on the upper part and bottom reshaped) to reach the gen thickness and have the crown appear higher. CG side welded and recarved with gen spec height and shape PCG, Vietnam bezel assy, Yuki dial and bracelet, Athaya crown...
