elmo Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I have a 5508 and I can make a few quick observations. 1. The bezel must be NO-Click and rotate either direction with good resistance 2. The lettering on my Rolex is close the base of the R spans the Y and S 3. MY right bottom of the X just "almost" to the center of the A 4. my 1 in 100 is directly over the center of the S 5. MY hyper t in ft is "almost" over the R 6. My lettering appears more Gold and the marking have a gold outline around them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rag9fx Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 the cornet on the dial is just off... would it be possible to get a period correct crown printed on the dial ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollyPolly Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Just to get one, then mod it to the presonal or correct specs. I hope the bones of the watch are good so it can be improved over time. If this watch stays as popular as this thread implies, we will have a winner. R.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 will it be able to take gen parts ... esp dials/ bez inserts? If you have a dial for one of these, sell it and get a gen Sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rag9fx Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 If you have a dial for one of these, sell it and get a gen Sub. yeah i was thinking more on the lines of a redial... my 5517 redailed singer is just that mm too small for my 5517 case ... i think this tends to be an issue for non-mbw rollies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollyPolly Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 A show of interest seems to have tapered off. Do we still have a go? What is happening? I don't dare ask silex, as they are working with some one else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
