Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk Got it of the bay and no it hasn't the correct serifs. But even a wrong inlay looks better than none and so I choose a cheap one at first so I have time to hunt for a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docthor Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 ...it's only a matter of weeks now. WSO assembly is on its way and I already received several inlays to play around with. I hope next week I'll have some time to bleach and heat and age the inlays The 2846 should be here next week...she's getting closer to being built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Well...my 5517 plans just stopped...Domi isn't able to install fixed bars and I have to find a new case. But....I just bought a gen refinished 5513 dial Now all I need is a different inlay since I already got gen Tudor hands. Everything else can be used Sent from my wooden drums via Tupperware 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Looking forward to see that dial fitted in the finished 5513. Beautiful:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_xyko Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 It's a shame that we couldn't see finished milsub no more. Good luck with Tiffany & Co built mate looking forward to it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Oh.. there'll be a MilSub. I plan to buy a HR case for that dial.

docthor Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Just some better pics of the dial. I found out that the Tiffany and Co with underlined o is never been seen on a Rolex dial but they did it like this back in 19th century as well as on wrist watches in the 30s and 40s. So it's somehow authentic and since I like it I'll leave it like this. At the end it's still a rep and it's my rep The print on the dial looks pretty good and and seems to be a real Singer plate.

Dan71 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 WSO bezel is working fine...sits rather tight than loose Ok tksBut do you have bought only the rotating bezel or also the retaining ring ? Do you have a link where do you bought them?Because I read that wso rotating bezel don't have the groove / rabbet that should be embed/get stuck on the retaining ring groove/rabbet ..(I can't find the correct word ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
