Starting a 5513 Gilt Build, Need Advice

It's a Clarks t19.

 

As for the rehaut, I would like to know of a way to make it look better too.

Go for a gen T19 service crystal, or a CWP T19 (superdome). Both are way better than Clarks with little or no rehaut distortion.

It looks very similar. Not sure if it's the same one. Here's a pic of the case back on the wrist. Not too sure how the bezel should feel, but tension seems moderate. Doesn't take that much force to turn.

 

Don't like the crown though, so I ordered an athaya 700 one.

 

Anyone know of a good place to get a thinner case back? Is the one from raffles time any good?

Hi mate, as for the caseback I can recommend the Helenarou Caseback as it has a very flat profile (check thread of my 5513 build here https://rwg.cc/topic/179435-rolex-5513-spider-franken-build-complete

Hi,

than i have found a solution for the bezel that pop up easly ..

I have put a very little drop of glue for steel inside the bezel assembly. I wait that the glue was dry and than i push it on his place.

Now it is tight and don't pop up , and If i want i can rotate the bezel (but is better don't exceed and challenge the luky ...)

Seems that for the new cartels, the crystal isn't on tight either

Possibile, but then i have switch with a Clark plexi but it don't solved the problem..

I think that there is an error about diameter tollerance..
