Rolexaddict Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) sorry, I made a test and put wwwwwwwwww as a tittle, I don't know how to correct Second build of the Sub 5514 Comex Same punition as for the first edition, complete story described here, Ingredients : A Josh's 1665 thick case found in my spare parts magic box, which has been reduced in thickness from the top and the rehaut also and reshaped. CG also reshaped and lug holes re-drilled for the gen Rolex springbars clearance. The 1665 thick bezel ring has been also reduced in high to the same thickness as the submariner bezel. I have removed the faux HEV and drilled the case. The project is to recreate an artifact, something working, dont know what, but I will find an issue before going in water of course... I hate false fonctions like false HEV or like fixed hand at 6 for Cosmographs. The dial was bought from Ephry73, the plexi origin is Otto Frei, but it was complete reshaped and repolished to make it looks like the real thing. The movement is an Asian low beats ressucited from my trash can, complete rebuilt and serviced and relooked to simulate a Rolex 1520 (just simulate...) I will adapt a modified folded bracelet with a clasp and a diver extension like the first 5514 I have built. The bezel insert was slightly faded and completed with a Yuki pearl Lume is not to bad... a personal magic mixture.... the first 5514 and the little sister Edited July 11, 2012 by dluddy

Rolexaddict Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Posted July 10, 2012 thanks GBOGH, I don't know how to change the tittle...
Original Scope Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 Outstanding lume job RA.I don't think I will ever get half as good as that.
woof* Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 Nicely done! Looks great Hmmmmm....I have this same case set empty..laying around
TeeJay Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 Fantastic work To edit the title is easy... Click on the 'edit post' tab on the first post, then click the 'use full editor' tab, and simply re-type the correct title
Akira Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Amazing how much hard labour you put in your cheapie builds! Great stuff! Lume looks really nice as always!
Ephry73 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Loving the reshape. That crystal is amazing btw. Looking really good. What are you planning for the HEV?
woof* Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 You could buy a phong hev and install it, or on the cheap... find the right silex rep with a working hev like Freddy did and use that.
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Another amazing watch JJ... Hats off ones agian, stand up folks!!! This is amazing!!! Could one of these be mmmmm mine???
Rolexaddict Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Posted July 11, 2012 thans guys for your comments and thaks to the admin who has changed the tittle...
Member X Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 I still love my prototype version, it's one of my favourites! I dinged the bezel slightly the other day, but strangely I actually like it more now, it feels more 'mine'
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 JJ... I think i know someone here on rwg that copied your diving extention claps on the folded bracelet
mir36 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Beautiful. Need to save $$$ for an RA masterpiece.
