woody Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 I agree with many others, the case looks like a modded MBW, and threw in a lot of gen parts. when do we get to find out the "truth"?
Guest chronomat123 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 my gen sub cases dont have that notch either inside the case. maybe it was incorporated later on however but ive not seen it inside any gens ive looked in. it sure makes install/removal of the movement easier though. on the rolex you need to rotate it round quite a bit to free each case screw. My genuine 5513 has the "notch" present.
thewightstuff Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 What year is your 5513 though. It was mentioned above that a 78 sub had the notch. No 60s or early 70s case i have seen has had it and my two dont so i wonder when it was introduced.
TwoTone Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 What case is this - older MBW? The newer ones have the Polex engraving... Your's is correct in this aspect. It's probably the Case that was swapped from Bodo... @H You're on the Watch List... Tread lightly... Or better yet, simply move on... TT
hemicuda Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Posted June 7, 2007 right, and many greetings to cerburus and kelster i can only say - stupid comments from stupid member
Tribal Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Damm nice build I think the case is aftermarked,the rest is gen...
therock Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 why did hemicuda never tell us if it was real? That seems like bad forum etiquette.
elprimerozen Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 why did hemicuda never tell us if it was real? That seems like bad forum etiquette. because its not his watch!
simmons3d Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 That dial is clearly a repaint. The print quality is just a bit sloppy, not to mention the allignment. If you look at the SCOC text on a gen, the "C" in chronometer is just about over the "C" of certified. On that watch the words are a bit too close together and the "C" in chronometer is almost over the "Y" in officially. I wonder if that watch has a "legit" serial number, something in the low 2 million range. I just hope someone doesn't pay 7 grand for it!
Pugwash Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 why did hemicuda never tell us if it was real? That seems like bad forum etiquette. It's worse etiquette to play a real-or-fake game if you already know the answer.
