5514 Comex movement

[jjjonwhite]

Ok guys just purchased a "the society" built comex 5514. it has a gen 1570 cal movement in it. would I be right in thinking it should be a 1520 cal like the one in the early airking?
The reason I ask is because I may go ahead and swap out the 1570 for a gen 1520. Then get a gen 5513 feet first dial and really take this build to the next level!

Depends on the definition, as I don't think he sells here anymore.

Oh he still sells on here, he just does it out of sight - and targets the noobs who tend not to complain..

Well that's not good...

Shhh, it's supposed to be a secret - he thinks nobody knows . . .

1520 would be correct. 1570 is COSC certified, 5514s are not.

Oh, you bought that.

That's a basic Vietnam case - Rubyswatch sells them for about $600, the dials are about $160.

The crown's a 704, completely wrong for this model.

The second hand is gen, but the hour and minute are Phong.

There should be a sticky "Dont buy anything claimed as gen unless "Trip" has inspected it." With that info now he really feels like it was a back door deal!!!

Not the same "back" door I'd expected initially...

sorry for the joke OP, I don't mean to hurt your feelings. I don't even know which watch you guys are talking about
