Max72 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Hi, I joined the forum few days ago, and so far I've been busy reading a wealth of information about one of my favorite topics: Big Crowns Subs. I used to own a gen Sub in the 80s but sold it in 2001 to finance another purchase and regretted doing it ever since. Now I'm just gathering information for my 5510 build. Who wants to chime in with suggestions is more than welcome, I've seen amazing watches posted here and would like to own a decent one since I plan to wear it every day. thank you for having me here Max Edited December 19, 2013 by Max72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Welcome Max, there are so many nice vintage choices but the 5510 is a rare bird indeed. Good luck on your hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max72 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thank you Mike, I've emailed Phong to see how much would be the damage, I'm also considering Yuki's 5510 case. I'm kind of confused about Phong because I read several mixed reviews about his business... I need to gather more info for sure before jotting down the part list to purchase.

Mike on a bike Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yes that was my thought on reading your Phong reference , alot of mixed reviews out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max72 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thank you SSTEEL. Before giving away $1500 for a case I want to make sure is going to fit the rest of the build and most important that I like the end result. Yuki offers the best bang for the buck at $780 is quite expensive but still affordable. The more I read about Big crown builds the more questions I have LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max72 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Max maybe more cost effective to but one someone is passing on. I could always salvage the desired components and upgrade along the way... the only problem is they are hard to find for sale too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
