Turbo350z Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 Just came in today! VERY quick shipping! Haven't decided if I want to go all out with this one yet or just keep it stock. What Spring bars are you guys using before you have the lug holes drilled out to 2mm? Thanks again bro! Feel free to post pics when you guys receive yours!
dbane883 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 Looks good. CGs are a bit chunky however. 2mm lugholes is waaay to big btw. It doesn't accept gen spring bars?? Holes should be 1.25mm
Turbo350z Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Posted January 27, 2016 Yup that's what I meant. The center part of gen spring bar is 2mm right? I agree, the CG are chunky. I will prob have them slimmed down a bit. but I want to keep the camfer on the lugs. Love it.

hugop Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 My 1680 also arrived today. Have already Drilled the lugs to 1.25mm. Let the modding begin! Plans for this one include: CGs shaped, gen plexi, gen crown, gen insert, silver date wheel, upgrade dial. For those who have been wondering, she has a 2836 inside.
lacogil Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 Still waiting on mine. Not sure if it shipped yet. Looks good! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 1

StormTooper4 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 Congrats wish I could have had one of each.

Sleep deprivation and focusing on the thread subject caught me out. Maybe a bit of wishful thinking/regret that I didn't get a 5513 as well playing a factor. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
ekallus Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 I'm waiting for my 5512 to arrive. It's interesting to note that the dial shown on the 5513 from the OP (above) is different to the one that was shown in Rolexfinder's original sales post. In the sales post it was a metres first dial with Submariner above the depth rating. I'm not sure that ever existed on a 5513. On the watch that is shown above, Submariner is below the depth rating.

Nice eye.. Yup they both existed in the gen world. Not sure the details about it but I do know that there were both versions in gen.
ekallus Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 I've done a fairly thorough check and I can't find any examples of a metres first dial with Submariner on top of the depth rating. It certainly exists for a feet first dial. The link to the site below gives a really comprehensive history of 5513 dials and the metres first, with Submariner above, isn't shown or mentioned... Also, in the thread link below to the Rolex Forum, it mentions metres first, Submariner above but ONLY in a glossy dial with white gold around the markers, which isn't what the MBW version is. Would be happy to be proved wrong! http://www.5513mattedial.com/TheSequence.html http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=127212

I thought you were talking about just the submariner above. But it seems the ones we are receiving are correct? Submariner below and meters first?

The only reason I got the 5512 instead of the 5513 was because I was concerned by the dial shown in the original sales thread!
hologramet Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 Sweet! Hopefully mine should arrive soon too..
marrickvilleboy Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 the one shown in OP is correct - the other way around I dont think actually existed

You're right. (Apart from glossy dial and white gold around the indices) Edited January 27, 2016 by ekallus
lacogil Posted January 28, 2016 Report Posted January 28, 2016 This thread has me excited for mine. I want to put it on a bracelet but not sure where to start as far as finding a nice one. It'll probably be on a NATO for a little bit. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
username here Posted January 28, 2016 Report Posted January 28, 2016 is that a leather nato? it looks great! my 5513 still hasn't shipped, but I picked up a gen t19 superdome and a gen insert.
