FxrAndy Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I just worked on a 5513 at the weekend and i was impressed for the price, i was doing a swap for a miyota movement as the DG was crap so now with a slow beat reliable non hacking movement just like the Gen. The only bad point i found was the crown and tube, ok a gen crown and tube costs more than the rest of the watch but i think it would be a great base for modding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I dug out a 2846 to service and install as soon as mine gets here! I have one Yuki tube left so I just need to keep a watch on fleabay for a decent used crown and I'll be all set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thank you, Sir, you are a gentleman and scholar! That should dress it up nicely! My 2846 service is finished as soon as my Borel order gets here with the freakin spring I lost!! I always manage to let a spring get away from me on each one I service...

marcl Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 do u guys have the link from josh's site?? is this compareable to the mbw? I think this should do it: http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlsv01107-vintage-5512-660ft200m-date-a2813-28800-p-9668.html Isn't it Star69? Kind regards, Marc.

blix Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Great value indeed. Good base for a budget(ish) franken. It's a bummer Josh doesn't accept Paypal. Is there anyone else who carries this exact same model, and that does accept Paypal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5512 is not offered with a 2846. that is the old version with the not correct bezel construction. Didn't want you to order the wrong one! Marc.

blix Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Are there any aftermarket crowns that are a good replacement for the -huge- stock crown? Preferably old style w/o twinlock/triplock markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
