A new edition to my collection,
A gen 5500 case and crown with ETA movement,
I re lumed the dial and used some Yuki gold hands ,
Not a bad end result

Very nice mate! Is the 5500 a 34 or a 36mm case?

I love this! I have a franken airking that I've been working on for a while now, and while I really like the watch, I truly wanted a 5500 instead. The dial from Yuki looks great!

Thanks, I wanted to make one but I don't think that size would look right on my wrist. I tried a 36mm dj and it already looked too small...

Where is the dial from? Does it have ETA style feet?
Looking to build one from a 5500 case I have. Thanks!
