my first 5514 prototype case. Done.

[highoeyazmuhudee]

Hello all.

ive been diligently working, back and forth with a factory, a designer and someone who truly knows their rolex history assisting me with the production, to bring you

my truly affordable, very accurate 5514 case for the enthusiast builder in all of you!

this is franken ready stuff!

i present to you:

built on a 5513 case size NOT a thick 1665 like the cartels do

NO CG modification necessary

NO lug hole drilling necessary fits 2mm bars

genuine like construction 1:1

fits gen crystal

fits gen insert

flatter domed caseback than the MBKs

better lug beveling than the MBKs

higher crown posistion than the MBKs, fits ETA (comes with adapter ring) NO more crown imprint left on your wrist

bezel is FIRM but SMOOTH turning, bezel sits level some MBKs DO NOT

lugs engraved "5514" caseback inner engraved 5513

custom serial number, NO REPEATING numbers floating around, NO BLACKLISTED rep serials, NO 2 have to be the same

accurate COMEX caseback engraving (only this 1 style currently)

NO MORE "POLEX" between the lugs

WORKING HE VALVE, thats right! gen like construction working HE VALVE, no more expensive retrofitting later!

i dont want to say for certain, since i cant actually confirm this currently -but this may fit a Rolex cal movement as well, despite being designed for ETA.

the crown tube on this prototype does not fit a gen crown it is too narrow, this will be corrected. in the future i will make these with out the tube installed but drilled and threaded ready to accept a gen or aftermarket 703 tube, or possibly with a high quality aftermarket 703 tube already installed, not sure yet.

i also got my high quality print dials in (better than YUKIS),

FEET FOR ETA

NO MORE clipping and dealing with alignment issues.

5514 shown with a meters first 5513 dial (feet first is more appropriate but this was the first test dial i grabbed) i dont think i will be making marked COMEX dials at this point in time

PICS:

excuse the fingerprints and tape residue on the case back

*please compare it with Jewelry and watch 's $1500 case and yukis out of stock $650+ 5514 with incorrect caseback and generic "198" engraving

GEN for comparison:

thanks for looking at my first test baby!

have a nice weekend all.

[cib0rgman]

I want two ASAP, can you also engrave it with 1665 markings

[lionsandtigers]

Holy Christ. I'll take one!!!!!!!!

[freddy333]

It looks alot like Phong's (which is designed to fit a Rolex movement). Can you post a good, clear full-frontal macro of the exterior of the caseback?

[Ephry73]

I'm liking the dial also. Same supplier I the one I bought from you a few mo this ago?
