predfan2001 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) Anybody know if this is right or will it work. Couldn't you make an 80s vintage 5513 with the current 14060 reps by installing a plastic crystal?

alligoat Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 It makes no sense to me. I thought the 14060 had a sapphire crystal. I can't tell from the pic, but is this a situation where you substitute a plastic crystal, but install it like a sapphire with the nylon gasket? Anyway, Wholesaleoutlet is about 30% reliable in my book, but you can try anything once. If you're trying to do a 5513, you could buy the vintage 3-6-9 dial 5513 that Paul, Silix and probably the rest sell and then swap out dials. I just measured my dial this morning and it's 26.5mm, so a gen dial is probably going to fit, they run 26mm, I believe. Trim the cg's, replace the pearl and it would probably be a good watch. It has a 2836 and some people fiddle w/ the movement or swap out to a slower beat, two position crown, eta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
