looking for 5508 style rep

[what2]

many of the normal dealers show them for sale, only to reply no stock when checking with the factory. Anybody have a "secret" source, or something that does not drop ship, where I can get one? Not looking for an MBK, too think.

[flex]

best is to get the cheap no CG cartier sub model from Silix and have MY reprinted the dial

[freddy333]

Ditto Flex. That is the cheapest/easiest approach.

[what2]

looks as if even those are gone

This was discussed a while back:

[what2]

that is actually the watch I am after, the factory that prowatch, trusty (and most others it seems) use are out of those cases. Wondering if any other dealers might actually have some still "in stock."

[freddy333]

Silix moved things around on their website, but as of last month, the CG-less Cartier Sub was still listed.

This one might work also:

Rols 176 is the Cartier, but it has the date window- good for Freddy's 6542, but not a 5508. Anyone you buy is going to need some work on it.

You have a PM. I have 3 of the Silix models listed above (168 but with correct bezel not the Milgauss, 187, 176). I might be willing to part with one.
