Question for 5513 build.......


Original Scope

Recommended Posts

My guess is that the crown position is too low, but more importantly, what's the point of sticking a $900-1000 movement in a $20 rep case? If you want to 'burn' a gen Rolex movt, get a decent case- Yuki, MBW, J&W, or NDT. Josh and PT are great for rep beaters, but perspective is important, if you're going 1st class, don't scrimp on cheap parts!

Well said, especially for the mid-case.... and for us nutcases! :)

I wouldnt bother with a gen movement but thats just me..

Gen crystal, dial, insert and maybe a gen bracelet. Cant see the movement anyways so for me, i cant justify spending the money. My only deviation from this was my Daytona project with the V23. I got a good deal on a v23 so it was a no brainer. Plus there isnt much of anything out there to replace a v23. The only copy v23 I could find was $250 and thats only about $100 less than i paid for my gen movement.

I cant wait for someone to actually get one of these new watches and mod it out and see whats what.
