jackflash Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Anyone know which TD has the 5517 with the correct 5513 case with fixed lugs? Unfortunately most of the ones I've seen use the thicker DS case. Including mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 What do you mean by 'thicker DS case'? The best case would be an MBW case with the fixed lugs, but I don't know if it's available. Second would be the Josh case with the stubby crown guards, but the caseback is wrong and it might have an HE valve http://www.1-pc8838.com/rlsv01002-vintage-5517-military-submariner-asia-2836-p-7699.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks for the reply. I've got the 5517 ETA 2836 version from Josh, the case is a Sea Dweller 1665 (not DS, my bad). Its even engraved with "1665" between the lugs. As well as the back being wrong, the bezel is higher too. The original 5517 is based on a 5513 case, so much slimmer. Yuki has a version of the case, but the site seems to be down, plus I'm not sure they ship to the EU (customs would be a problem). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dēmosth Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 If I am not mistaken Narikaa used to have 5517s with a more accurate (slimmer) case with fixed lugs (not just tubes) and a 5517 engraving between the lugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 You might ask Narikaa if he can possibly get a MBW 5517. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackflash Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Unfortunatel Narikaa is out of vintage models at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
