usmctowgnr Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Should any of these parts look familiar? This watch has been a long time in the making. The watch just got finished and these were the pics sent to me. The mods are: Gen Dial: To stay period correct for the L date code I went with a gloss tritium dial with WG surrounds. Clarks Tudor handset to match dial Gen T-19 Crystal Gen 24-702 Crown Gen Insert 2846 Movement Installed I have some 580 end pieces on the way but I am thinking of putting this on a NOS Tropic Strap. The first few pics are of the watch along side another MBW that has an NDT 5513 dial and was modded by ubi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmctowgnr Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Cats, funny you should say that, I sold my gen cased 1675 to fund this build along with a MBW 1665. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmctowgnr Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 db2, the gen insert used on the 5513 came from the 1665 GW I got from you. Since I was going for a serviced look on the 5513 and a little more original look on the 1665 your gen insert worked out great. I am replacing it with one that is a little faded. Your old 1665 also got a gen 24-700 crown put on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmctowgnr Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Just to clarify....... I do not own both the watches in the first three pics, just the one with the gloss dial. Also, ubi did not do the mods on my watch. The one with the faded insert was done by him. I do hope though that I can get him to do the CG's for me though!

dbutlerman Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I thought that might have been the service insert. Glad it's being used in a nice project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danza1812 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Cool watch that 5513, just what im looking to achieve. I have managed to aquire a gen dial, ckarks rolex/tudor white handset and hopefully a 2846, how does the gen dial fit onto the eta? Does it need much work or is it a direct fit? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sheesh, I thought this was a sales listing and I was 1) Looking for the price, and 2) About to ask why on Earth you'd want to sell it! Congratulations! If Ronin had a hand in it and it's had a brush with a Ubi, then you've got excellent pedigree right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 ...Also, ubi did not do the mods on my watch. The one with the faded insert was done by him. I do hope though that I can get him to do the CG's for me though! Maybe mid-Oct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmctowgnr Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Sounds good, unlike alot of my other watches this one is not going anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
