Hey guys, just wanted to share another build I've recently completed - this time for a friend of mine.
Again we're looking at a 5513, only this time he specifically requested a matte dial build.
We went with the Milky 5513 case set, plus crown + tube. Highly recommend these as excellent options for any 5512 / 5513 / 1680 builds!
Dial & hands are VN and relumed by our very own Tripdog - his work, as always, is excellent.. The lume texture & color are both phenomenal and really ties the build together.
Crystal is from Classic Watch Repair based in HK. Pricey alternative to Clarks but imo substantially better, and still cheaper than other HQ alternatives such as TrueDome
The movement is an old Swiss 2846 which was fully serviced as it was in somewhat neglected condition on arrival.
The final touch is the insert from Phong.
Hope you guys enjoy the pics !
