Donerix 5513

[Sbybbuser]

I have always planned to have a vintage rolex done by donerix.
But he was busy with his work so it got postponed a couple of times.
Late last year, he informed me that he's not taking order on watch build anymore because he just doesn't have time for it anymore.
So my quest for a donerix vintage rolex began.
I missed a couple of his watches being sold in M2M sales section.
One day (it was valentine's day), while having dinner with my wife, I casually emailed him whether he has any 5513 for sale.
And he offered me his own 5513 for sale.
I gladly accepted his offer.

To be honest, from all my reps, his 5513 is the one got noticed by people a lot.
I have a few friends that asked me what watch i am wearing.
And countless glance by strangers when I wear it.

Without further ado here it is:

Spec:
MBW (gen bezel construction) with Swiss ETA movement
InGod guilt dial with chapter ring
genuine crown
genuine pearl
genuine crystal
genuine spring bars
Aged case, dial and hands
reamed lug holes
oiled and aged yuki stretch bracelet
faded insert.

Pictures: (again, I need to learn to take better picture)


































One thing that bugs me about this watch is:
I only find one picture on the internet of 5513 that has this dial. Supposedly, this is a very rare 5513. From what I have gathered, this should be a 1961-1962 5513.
Given the year, the CG should be a PCG/Cornino.
Another thing is the hand, some parts of the hand turns to the normal steel color.

I am thinking of having it modded to be a PCG. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks

Very nice.  Love that 702!!  Maybe a little more work on the cg's?  Just MO.  Looks fantastic either way!!

Is this the piece Donerix wore in his famous "Rebel" photo shoot?  That is a classic post.
