Jovi75 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Posted November 23, 2019 Hi guys... Here is my first franken 5513. I know it’s not perfect but i love it!!. My only doubt is the rivet bracelet... but i’ll improve... Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk 1
automatico Posted November 24, 2019 Report Posted November 24, 2019 Looks good! "My only doubt is the rivet bracelet..." Maybe go with a later model hollow mid link/solid outer link bracelet to go with the applied marker dial. I have an MBK 5513 and tried a rivet oyster and it just did not suit me (besides pulling hair). I ended up with a 'Mary' folded oyster and it has been fine except I had to change the last center links where they connect to the watch because they were the wrong type. They were the.'figure 8' style like found on many rivet bracelets so I changed over to the hollow oval type.

markiemark Posted November 25, 2019 Report Posted November 25, 2019 Stunning! Where did you source the movement? I'm looking for one quite some time... 1
cheld Posted November 25, 2019 Report Posted November 25, 2019 I'd just go with the components you like best. Here are some of the relevant production dates: rivet bracelet 1954-1967 applied-marker dial 1984-1989 MKIII fat font insert ~1966 - 197? 2
Jovi75 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Report Posted November 25, 2019 Stunning! Where did you source the movement? I'm looking for one quite some time...1000€ in italy plus 200€ to revamp it now it’s perfect.Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk 1
alligoat Posted November 25, 2019 Report Posted November 25, 2019 Given that you have a late model dial with the white gold surrounds, I would think a 93150 bracelet with 580 end pieces would be the appropriate bracelet. Your case looks nice- which one is it?

Your case looks nice- which one is it? I purchased it in italy ... 480€ engraved marking.... it was quiet complete.. with crown & plexi.... not bad Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando TapatalkI have with my watch maker to re-shape a little the profile but when i saw it assembled... i had to wear it immediately!!I love it.. i know it’s not perfect but for me Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk My only doubt are the numbers in the clasp & in ends... and i don’t know if they are right... to be original..

alligoat Posted November 25, 2019 Report Posted November 25, 2019 I can't read the engravings on the back of the bracelet, but judging by the picture of the back of the bracelet with the case and movement, it looks like a flimsy old Rolex bracelet to me. The rivet copies are usually much heavier- not like the light old flimsy bracelet Rolex used to make in the 60s and 70s.

dutchguy2 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Posted December 3, 2019 What crystal, plexi does it have? It looks like a SD plexi.

dutchguy2 Posted December 3, 2019 Report Posted December 3, 2019 Looks like a T39, SD crystal. If you like it OK but not correct for this model. 1
