thewightstuff Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) should be fun, remember to try to get gilt hands though. what movement is that 1520 or 1530? i know what timezone said about this dial but im still sticking to it being redone in some way. ive got one almost the same somewhere but with SCOC text and its redone for sure. its pretty irrelevant though in the grand scheme and timezone is less factual and more opinions expressed as such too large a percentage of the time for me. id personally tidy up the airking and keep it Edited March 31, 2007 by thewightstuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 id personally tidy up the airking and keep it Me too. That Air King is a delightful beauty worth keeping. Perhaps you should keep that Air King alive until you source all genuine parts for your 5513. OEM cases do pop up once in a while on eBay. Look, while you're at it, you might as well take the time to build the best possible franken that you can! JMHO Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hold off my judgement on the dial until I have it in hand. Picture always tend to give a worse impression than the actual condition, so I am crossing my fingers. I will definately source gilt hands. Probably aftermarket but I'll age them to match. Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I wouldn't give it a second thought unless it was passed down to me by a friend or family member. I bought the dial thinking to simply install it in an MBW with a slow beat movement. Hell, I figure a fully modded MBW with all gen Rolex parts can reach $700-$800 dollars....why not spend another $700.00 and have a Gen dial and movement in the MBW. Anyway, it's my party and I'll dance as silly as I want Thanks for the reply. I really do appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
