ThinkBachs Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Best way to start- find some gen shots to compare it to... Gen Rolex Submariner 5513's, this model came in two versions- the one with the 200m first on the line is more valuable. If you do go with this, please don't be like many others who feel that beating and scratching the crap out of it will make it look more authentic. Too many people do this without doing any research online to see what a true vintage Rolex looks like. Cheers -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ueno Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi there mate, thanks for the reply and photos. Don't worry I won't beat the hell out of it. I have been doing a lot research about vintage models. I even went to a few shops and tried some very beautiful vintage pieces 5513 and 5512. I actually got this watch already, well I still haven't got it but I already bought it. It is a Yuki case, yuki dial and hands, gen crown/tube and It has a gen 1520 movement. I would like to get a gen bracelet for it or even a good rep one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) knew it was a yuki! cgs still need doing, dial needs replacing and the hands are terrible. dont understand why people think its miles ahead of the >$400 stock MBK, it needs almost as much work. and the work is the fun part Edited April 18, 2011 by highoeyazmuhudee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ueno Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Like you said the mods and work is fun and I don't mind doing the fixing that it needs. I got the yuki case cuz the MBK cases are really hard to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
