milesd Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 My 5517 is almost done. I got this email from PBDad today. He is still going to SLIGHTLY age the insert and install the Yuki pearl. Specs are: MBW 5513 Case Cartel Insert Yuki Pearl Gen Tropic 19 Plexi Aftermarket 702 Tube polished Gen 702 Crown!!!! NDT 5517 Dial Omega SM300 Hands ETA2846 I'll post more when I get it, but it'll be here only for a short time as it needs some other love from Neckyzips ) And with finished with the pearl installed: I'd like to thank members of RWG as when I started my 5517 project, I really had no clue where to start. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmg Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Very nice sir and my hats off to PBDad! One of my favorite watches. It looks like NDT updated the 5517 dial which is a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pr0digy30 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 More than I wanted to spend I'll have to add it up. Would appreciate it, it's a nice piece. I have a budget 5517 myself, but have to say if it's a reasonable spend... I just may have to treat myself for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltatahoe Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 look great; congrats on a fantastic (and unique -- don't see these around much) build only thing i would consider would be to send to jmb and have him put in some fixed springars (per the genuine) deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Looks great Miled. Agree that the fixed lug bars would be the icing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackflash Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Really nice, but the cartel insert has 1 too many minute markers between the numerals compared to the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
