hughesj Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Recently "finished" a 5513 build and felt like sharing.Specs:-Cartel 1680 case (has engravings for 1665), Reshaped the cg's and lugs, also aged and softened and tapped for gen spec crown tube-Yuki 5513 Gilt dial and hands for ETA movement-Athaya 700 crown and crown tube-Raffles 7206 bracelet-Stock insert, pearl removed and aged-Clarks t19 plexi, sanded the base to lower it a littleI guess the only thing to look into now would be a thinner caseback (HR most likely), a better insert, and maybe a better plexi.Pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sogeha Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 That's not just nice, it's inspiration. I have a Cartel 5513 in coming and my plan is pretty much the same. Gilt dial, probably Yuki, possibly Explorer, aged case and old leather strap for that "couldn't give a damn what you think" look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
