Well I suppose it had to happen one day, Big Daz has finally landed a proper job. A big congratulations mate! I guess the degree and all of the hard work finally paid off. So here's my lovely Comex 5514 build done by my old mate..

Yuki 5514 with offending in correct case back engravings removed

Mq 5514 dial with a lovely subtle cream lume

Hand set re lumed by Mr D

Gen tube with Gen 704 monoblock crown

Serviced Swiss 2846 slowbeat movement

I'll post some proper pictures when I receive it on Friday

Cheers DH

Hi castro, as my post states BIg D specialises in re luming dials and hands, not casework

With regards to the CG's, having owned Gen 5513's, 5512's and a 1665 over the years they have varied hugely depending on how polished or not polished they've been. The crown is a Gen 704 monoblock, which is the modern service replacement of the steel capped crimped 703 crown. Hope that helps

Cheers DH

Are you just saying this or do you meen it? I have read all your post/topics before and this replay makes me think, wth...

I meant it, the insert and overall presentation looks good to me. I may enjoy higher end builds for myself but I can certainly appreciate a build like this.
