Which seller would you buy a 5517 from?

Last time I checked with PT, they had no vintage subs or seadwellers in stock.

I've been asking about once a month all summer.

Trusty and PC has the same stuff but trusty I think is a little cheaper.

I have a few cartel 1680s which come in 5512 cases and they're not bad.

Don't know about their 5517s but I do remember seeing them.

I think they sell the ones with the optional lug holes. Meaning they're perforated or something and you can drill through them. Gem should have no lug holes but I'm sure you knew that.

You'd need to source some better gen looking hands. The minute hand is wrong.

I think some people use omega hands.

Good luck and post pics.

Thought about doing one of these or a 5512. I have vintage lume that needs to be used! Lol

Go for the Puretime version. It has an ETA 2846 movement, good case and engravings. Add some sword hands from Rafflestime, dial from ingod44 or Yuki. Bezel insert from WSO and pearl from Yuki. NATO strap from Phoenix. 703 crown and tube set, alternatively a rep 702 set from Athaya. Soften the case and add patina as desired. Here's mine:
