dbane883 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 came out great! i'd throw it on a nato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbane883 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Get it on a NATO G10 Where's a good place to get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycheez Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
