Vintage 5513 Submariner


A slightly different take

Hello gents, what I am presenting tonight is my latest 5513 build.

I was inspired by the dial to give the watch a very worn look, with some heavier than usual marks and scuffs. A real heavy duty watch.

Non-matching hands are reasonably common in the vintage Panerai world, while they are quite rare if not non existent in the Rolex world. I thohght they were looking just right in this build. What do you think?

Here is the parts list:

- Cartel donor watch reshaped, aged and polished. Lugs drilled for 2mm springbars
- Sternkreuz low dome T19 plexi
- Cartel insert faded to almost ghost, no pearl
- Vietnam dial with dark mustard markers, beautiful unique dial
- JK hands relumed and aged
- Strap made by an italian strapmaker found on ebay
