dbane883 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 Well almost complete. I was fortunate enough to acquire one of the four 5514 mid case prototypes that HH has been looking to manufacturer for the past couple of years. Finally assembled all the pieces: HH 5514 mid case with proper unique 4,0xx,000 serials, working he valve, and bezel assembly Gen Tropic 19 crystal Gen cal 1520 movement Gen insert Gen crown Yuki dial/hands Think it turned out alright. Now deciding on a strap/bracelet.
freddy333 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 Can you post a head-on shot of the caseback?
danielv2000 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 Drool! I have a 1665 Comex build with The Zigmeister right now and I can't wait to get it back.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 came out great! i'd throw it on a nato
dbane883 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 came out great! i'd throw it on a nato Thanks again HH. Super happy with the case. I did however have to put in a thin spacer to align the stem perfectly with the gen movement. But imperceptible. Tremendous effort on your part. I wish you much success with finding a new manufacturer.

sgtguk Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 I'm no expert mate but bloody hell that looks good
dbane883 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 Get it on a NATO G10 Where's a good place to get one?
phillycheez Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I would definitely get a maratac NATO. I've tried many NATOs and these are always my goto. Check broadarrow.Net/maratac Their Mil-series is the G10 To get a perfect fit, don't be afraid to take a hot nail and burn a hole through it. Do it quick though! In and out. You don't want to leave black residue or have a wacky hole. Edited March 8, 2013 by phillycheez
correctime Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Wow. Very nice indeed. Well done Brother.
mjmj Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Very nice work.. I am just waiting on a crown tube from Yuki for my case. From what I can see here, the results will be great however I will be using an ETA2846.
faberone75 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 this comex is great.....i hope that I will have this case. the construction is very close to gen....expecially the valve and the good profile of the case
dbane883 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Posted March 22, 2013 I'm really liking this watch more and more now that I have it on a Horween shell cordovan strap:
Watchmeister Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Gorgeous watch. Congrats. Wear that one well.
