My new 5513 with lot of Mods.

[blackoyster]

Today I would like to show you my  New 5513.
Yes again a 5513 .... But this has one speciality  as  i think  not see before.
Let's start with the base.
For the Case i used a Cartel 1680. The basic Watch was as good as new.
I know the case has not the right reference number engraved, but I do not care because it is worn on the steel braceled.
 
The case became a strong reshape of the lugs and crownguard. The crown and tube were exchanged. The crown is TC and the tube was still lying in my mint.
The lugs were drilled for gen springbars.
 


The Plexi is a rather flat version, I find it more beautiful than the domed original Plexi manufacturer unknown.
 
Now to the dial .
I buy from a friendly Member this  refinished/ painted  dial . The dial was also quickly from Uk arrived and I could start immediately with the relume.
This was necessary because the yellow dots I did not like,and i love lume shining  .
Unfortunately (as always happens with the special things: -0) the first layer has turned out to be too dark gray.So i relumed again .... next default....on  the ultra-sensitive  surface was a scratch . This did not go up to the Metall but only the matte surface shined .... also around the dots it shone easily .... thats was not very nice... so radical solution.
I panted it complete with clear lacquer matt ....

 
 
Result was perfect.

The beautiful gen like hands and pearl  were matched with the lume.
The pearl was handmade by me and filled with lume.
 

 
Now to the Movement .
Here comes the special.
Here is a standart Eta Clone. The complete date circuit was expanded.
This created the right place ... The dial had feet for the gen movement Thats i wont to cut it off.
So I  dismantled till the base plate. At the place where the feet are located i drilled some holes for the dial feet.Than i  assembled the movement .
Unfortunately, you can apply this trick only to no date because otherwise the datewheel disturbes ....
 

The braceled of the 1680  reworked and drilled  to the gen springbars.
 
I hope you like the watch

Here with her children...

Looks nice !
The pearl seems a bit big to my eyes. In any case congrats and thanks for the build details. @Dan71 It does not look like a Yuki insert.
