watchguy51 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think I've finally got together the money for a decent MBW case, gilt dial 5512/13. Unfortunately, the only one I've ever seen for sale was sold before I could afford it. I suppose the best way now, is to get a modded MBW 5512/13 and have the dial installed myself. First of all, if anyone has a gilt 5512 or 5513, let's see some pics! I don't see enough of them around, and I need some incentive to do this. Also, I was wondering if the Ingod dials fit in any MBW cases properly, or if I'd need to have the case bored out somehow. I've heard of people filing down dials too? Is that do-able? Of course the feet would need to be clipped to glue the dial onto a 2836 movement, but that's not a big deal. So is the dial installation generally easy? Or will it be expensive or difficult for me to get done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Rather expensive. I'm building a 5512 PCG gilt 4-liner right now Original MBW, which is a couple of years old. L312 serial Ingod gilt dial Gen superdome T19 Gen 703 crown & matching tube Gen fat font insert Gen springbars Slow-beat 2851 Clarks hands Yuki 7206 Dial fits the rehaut perfectly, however I've heard of new MBK watches with a slightly too widen rehaut and fitting issues. Case needs reshaping and so on.... It's one of the harder projects around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Sweet woof. What's the other crown in your pic? You care for a gen Fat Font insert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 @Akira: That's the 702 tube next to the 702 crown. Odd angle. The nos lumi insert I'm using isn't in that pic, that's a josh insert I think. (pm me if you have a crazy deal fat font ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
