Gave vintaging a whirl with my new 5513

[Powell21]

Hey all,

Finally got up the balls this morning to do some light vintaging on a 5513 that I got in another forum.

Bare in mind that I have never experienced taking apart a watch until this morning, I did some reading over the past few weeks--RWI an invaluable resource to be sure.

I have no real tools except a precision screw driver, And a cutting mat, a razor, Prismicolor dark brown marker, and Grady's cold brew coffee concentrate.

I am very grateful that the watch still works.

I worked mainly on just the bezel and the dial.

Tell me what you guys thing for my first foray in to vintaging.

Now some pics.

Thanks.

I've done a couple and it's always nice to see them back together and working! A nice job given the tools you had on hand. Congrats!

Nice work!  You're off to a good start, I'd swap out for a gen crown and work on those crown guards a bit.

 

You've actually got a 5512 there.
