I have been dreaming of building a vintage 5513 for years and years now, and finally decided to take the plunge and get underway. With the help of my friend Woof (whom I have to thank once again for all of his guidance and patience!) along with all of the great info on these boards I have just completed my first build! I already have my second vintage project lined up and really wanted to get everyones oppinion on this first one. What do you guys think? Please dont hold back, Im trying to learn as much as I can still! Please excuse the bad pictures, but here is a list of what was done: Josh 5513 base aged/ polished case and bezel numerous times CG shaped lugs drilled aged hands and dial bleached bezel insert Yuki tube installed yuki springbars gen 703 crown gen t19 crystal still waiting on a better pearl to arrive, and also have a yuki rivet band here waiting to install. I had originally gone a different route with the case shape, but after holding a few dozen gen vintage 5513s this past week I opted to go with a more agressively "overpolished" look. Dont hold back guys! Please let me know what you think!
