alligoat Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 The engravings on your case are wrong- they're not engraved- they're laser etched. This means it's not a genuine case- sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovi75 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I suppose it was not original...thanks for your support.Pls where i can find the most beatyfull bezel grey aftermarket?.Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 You need 4 parts for the bezel assembly crystal retaining ring flat tension spring bezel bezel insert Of course you'll also need a T-19 crystal. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-Steel-Rotating-Bezel-Retainer-Spring-Insert-For-Rolex-5513-1680/113303777563?hash=item1a616e711b:g:zH8AAOSwAata25R0 This is an aftermarket bezel assembly, but the bezel insert isn't very good. Also, your case may not work with the correct aftermarket parts- it appears to have a lip which means it had a non-standard bezel assembly (meaning a Chinese rep assembly). You need to find a better case- check out Yuki watch, Ruby's watch, or Phong (Jewelryandwatch.com). And remember, you are undertaking an expensive project! Good luck! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovi75 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 ok i know i know big man ,So i can purchase this kit and purchase a better insert & bezel ?.Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 It would be best to find a gen spec case first and then get the other parts you need. I'm not sure how good Yuki's cases are. check them out, ask around Ruby appears to be ok, but check out reviews, etc. Phong is good but expensive. Minh Quy over in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh city now days) may also have cases- expensive also. The Vietnam cases are probably the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovi75 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I gas done a mess i should have found this forum BEFORE of purchasing all these parts.....I know i know it’s a challenge Thank you guys ok .... il check case & bezel ...After.... insert..

alligoat Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Might want to get that 1520 movement looked at. On second look, some of those movement parts look pretty rough. With parts tough to get, it might not be worth repairing, 1520 parts can be expensive. You know Rolex doesn't make those parts anymore! And of course they frown on our replica hobby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovi75 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 No problem.... i’ll do it little bu little.I’ve to purchase the full part list & exploded drawing of 1520...Rolex ... to detail what i need .Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 "I'm not sure how good Yuki's cases are. check them out, ask around." The two cases (5512/5513) I got from Yuki in May 2014 were as good as any I have seen. They are no longer shown on their website but a few other sellers will have similar cases. Read in the rolex section to see who has what. As for 1520 parts...almost all the parts are the same for 1520, 1530, 1560, 1570 except for the escapement parts. Escapement = balance wheel, hairspring, pallet fork, escape wheel, and a few others. Get a rolex parts list for 1530 base movements or for the 1520 and see what you need. The 1530 was the first of the series so all of the similar movements that followed are called 1530 base movements.. 1530 base movements = all the movements above + date, day-date, anti-magnetic, and GMT models with the same 1530 base movement If your balance wheel, hairspring etc is damaged, you will have to use 1520 replacement parts because although the main plates are similar you will can use only 1520 escapement parts. 1520 = non chronometer with flat hairspring 1570 = chronometer with Breguet (overcoil) hairspring Learning about movements is slow, dull going but it can save you a lot of $$ and headaches. The more you know, the less it will cost. Most of the time. Learn all you can before jumping back into the project. Believe it or not many RWG members worked on genuine name brand watches before getting into replicas and Frankensteins. Why would anyone need a head start? Because replicas and Frankensteins are harder to work with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hologramet Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 That bracelet both clasp and links looks lite aftermarket. Engravings all wrong. :( 6?2? H18 means that it uses 18k gold. Where? :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manodeoro Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 N1 thanks Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando TapatalkReading what alligoat, automatico and hologramet, all really seasoned members, have written here ... may I suggest you to stop buying so called gen parts (which are in fact aftermarket), put everything aside, read a lot, learn and then go back to the workbench ?It will help you saving money (at least not lise any) and get a nice and decent 5513 at the end of the watch.

hologramet Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Buying "gen" is rarely motivated unless the price is really good. Replica items from either China or Vietnam have attained such high quality standards nowadays that I find it hard to justify making a Genenstein-Franken. If you want-gen-gen-gen. Buy gen. It will in the end still be a fake watch, non grata at Rolex Geneva. So why not invest in "new" aftermarket parts worth the price? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manodeoro Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 What I meant writing « nice and décent »Just some specific parts, like a decent pie-pan dial, that you cant get in Rep ... well, as far as I know Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk So not that bad, even if it's still too much for such a case IMHO. I have a bezel assembly from watchman408 (alligoat provided a link some post upper). The insert is definitely not really good but the bezel assembly is OK and works perfectly. If you want to chez before ordering one I can take some pics of the one I have and tell you the dimensions. That way you can check if your case can take such a bezel assembly (I don't think so but ... you never know). What could be interesting is to measure : 1 - exterior diameter of the rehaut on your case 2 - dial opening (inside smallest diameter of the rehaut) on your case 3 - overall diameter on your dial With those infos you can check is your case can take your dial and if it can take, with some lathe work, the aftermarket 5513 bezel assembly.

Nanuq Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Jovi75, you attracted the interest of some of the strongest builders here, or anywhere. These guys have forgotten more than most guys will ever learn about vintage Rolex. So pay close attention to everything they tell you.You have some okay parts but you're going to hate your case before this is over. If it's not sized to accept gen parts, you're going to waste more on crap parts that don't fit, than you would spend to just get a good case.Then look at your dial. No 5513 dial has metal surrounds on the indexes. You want a good bezel and insert... that won't fit what you have now.Like the man said, stop spending money and READ. We have solved all these problems here and the information is at your fingers. When you have read everything and understand it, then we will take the next steps to help you complete a perfect project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDanX Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Pretty sure some late 5513 dials had white gold surround indexes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
