Tribal Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 This is work in progress. Base is a ugly JKF Sub. There is not really much to use from the entire watch. I reshaped the whole Case reworked the CG's drilled and reshaped the Lugs. After some polishing I installed a gen Tropic 127 and a rare Athaya 702 Crown and Tube The Date was really bad so I decided to install a great open 6&9 Datedisk for 3135. Also the Inlay is bad, so here we go a new one Put this together now to see how it comes out. A new Dial is on his way because the stock one is bad in my opinion. Will keep u updated when all is finished Thanks for looking Cheers Tribal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Me too. I put a '5513' project together using a JKF case (paid for JKF, no way to be 100% sure) and it turned out pretty good. Oem spec crystal/case tube, and the lug holes were enlarged, that's about it. My only gripe is the lug holes are a bit close to the tops of the lugs. Here it is, fourth post down on page 144: Rolex Wristies thread - Page 144 - The Rolex Area - RWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 After some polishing I installed a gen Tropic 127 and a rare 702 Crown and TubeComing together nicely! Are you sure that crown is a gen 702 though. They are usually crimped on the underside.Gen 702 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted April 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 No it's not Gen it's from Athaya, maybe I must update the Post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Looking good T! (And good to see you man!) Great case work, CGs look excellent. What did you wind up going with for dial and hands? I have a JKF COMEX SD on its way to me on some banana boat, somewhere. Hopefully it's JKF anyway. Was the dial spec 28.5mm? Where did you find the vintage bezel and was it a direct fit or need modding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
