rolojack Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 It took me a while to complete it, but it is now done !!!! My pointed crown guard Sub with 3,6,9 gilt dial !!!! Specs : Bezel & Insert sourced in Thailand Cartel Polex mid case slimmed from the top to lower the bezel sitting and have the crown appear higher. Welded on the crown side to create enough metal to carve an accurate crown guard. Then, totally reshaped all around. DW caseback Cartel bracelet links and end links Gen deployment Cartel PT 702 crown modified to 700 Clarks crystal Dial & Hands from Yuki Now to the pics : 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Nice job! I certainly like what you did with the bracelet- like a 9315. Where did the dial come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendota Explorer Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Beautiful. Really nice work with this. I didn't realize the 5513 and 5512 also had 2 dial iterations using 3,6,9 markers until I read this article featuring the collection of Mike Wood, who is a huge vintage collector. This is an excerpt and there is a link to the whole thing on VRF. http://www.vintagehour.com/11-submariner-55123-dial-variations-by-mike-wood/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see the explorer I type coronet on that 3,6,9 dial rather than the larger crown like all the other versions ! If I am right, there are more 3,6,9 5513s. They were retailed in the UK only I have been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davids100 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 there are more 3,6,9 5513s. They were retailed in the UK only I have been told. 5512 indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Wow. Amazing work on the cgs. That polish job is amazing. I think "polex" case is MBK though. Not cartel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
