508-Fanatic Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 In my eternal quest for perfection, even though it's unobtainable, I have added a box and papers to the 5513. I am also debating putting back on a gen "worn-in" insert versus the grey rep. I enjoy swapping things around. My brother has a fine Swiss typewriter from the correct period of the watch, we'll be using that to fill in the paperwork with the corresponding serials', etc. Should come out beautifully. I also have a fountain pen with correct age ink (I'm weird, I know) for the rest of it.What do you guys think? It's basically almost all gen, including a totally rebuilt cal.1520 that runs perfectly. DBane worked his magic on the case, the chamfers are gorgeous. The picture with the black insert is just it sitting over the other. You might be lucky to be seeing this watch for sale at some point in the near future Nothing on it is stock-rep, it's either genuine or highly modded. If someone has a better insert, I'm open to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
