Hey guys not to get to deep into thing but, recently my wife was diagnosed with kidney caner. Because of this I am forced to sell of some items, and my watches is what have to go. I have already listed everything I am selling in the classifieds, but there is one watch that I have lost all data on.
Its a Milsub 5517 that was bought from thesociety when he was doing one of his purges. I did not think I would ever sell the watch but, as mentioned some stuff has to go to get some funds and this is one of them. I had all the specs on it saved in my PM's but like everything shit happens. Back when RWI site crashed a year or so ago, all my PM's and all old threads that had the info was lost.
I was told I would probably have a hard to selling it without all the specs... and I am sure that is correct. When thesociety listed this watch many people were after it, and a lot of members even contacted me after I was able to buy it. Again, I have no idea who those members were since all my PM's were lost.
With that said, I am hoping I can post some pictures and someone here maybe able to recall either some of the details around it or even know if it was listed someplace else! Because I am not a "pro" and have been away for a while, I can not remember a lot of what I learned either...
So, I am posting some pics of the watch... If I recall the watch was build by a member here who is known for doing "worn" vintage watches. This did have an ETA movement and if memory serves me correct, the hands are actually Gen Omega hands. Beyond that, Im at a total loss...
If anyone can assist in helping identify who built it, see parts that are a dead giveaway, or really give me anything at all, I would be truly greatful.
Again, I did list this in the classifieds and I know I paid well over $775 for it... Just trying to spark anything in a members mind that they may remember this watch.
I have reached out to thesociety several times and I can not get in touch with him. I know he goes through a lot of watches, so he may not even recall the specs? I do have a few PM's (in my email) that somehow saved with interaction between us, but again... nothing stating the actual details.
Thanks in advance RWI... like I said, I appreciate any and all help.
If anyone can provide assistance, I would appreciate it as I really do need to sell it as I am in a crappy situation.
