What do you guys think? 5513

[Ephry73]

I got this dial a few months ago in hopes to use it in the 5514 project but decide to just build a 5513 instead with a Josh case I had laying around. Keeper or should I part it or with it?

Gen Eta 2824 movement

Yuki hands

5513 reprint dial

Josh 5513 case

Faded gen insert

Nothing jumps out at me, but the pics are not very useful for any serious qualifications.

[Ephry73]

HAHA. I know. I was getting dressed to go run with the dog and saw the watch on the dresser and took some pics. I'll get better shots this weekend. Thanks Freddy

Typical Josh case, trim the inside edges of the cg's and put a smaller crown on there.

Are the hands on your SD blue? Lume looks better on the 5513

[Ephry73]

I relumed the 5513 to try to give it a relumed vintage deal( I know I know)

The SD hands are green , but for reason came out blueish in the picture.

I'm all for reluming these vintage reps, it makes them more fun!

If it were me, I'd get a new case and crystal and call it a day. the parts itself looks good hm

[Ephry73]

Forgot. The crystal is the star time t19 replacement. I will take better pics. E

If you decide to not keep it, I might be interested in the bezel insert.

[AsiadeCuba]

ill take the whole thing! that insert realy makes the watch

[TeeJay]

Have to agree with Freddy, nothing really 'jumps out' at me about it, but that is good, that gives it that 'below the radar' stealth factor, I bet it wears much better than it models

PS I was actually going to say swap in a new insert, that one looks a bit over-faded, but then saw it's a naturally-faded gen

[Ephry73]

Thanks guys. I'll take better pictures later this week. The movement rocks though. Cannot wait for the folded bracelet. E

Thanks brother. That's the same insert I had on the 7928 build. I may put that watch back together since no one wants the dial . E
