Sorry if I’m honest I would say it’s not so impressive

Just curious, what made you say so?

You're probably right. Why don't you post some of your watches - create a thread so we can see what you've got.

I think they're awesome. I think it would be really hard to find better vintage reps. I don't know what you're expecting thechrono

 

[RLX5513]

They are awesome. Just wondering what are the cases from. Can you share the whole parts source?

That second one is looking awfully familiar...

Matte dial is a Cartel base, the second gloss dial uses a case Ruby - which has been reworked as well.

Amazing job with the cartel. I guess mod is heavier with this one. Ruby's it is a better Base. What about the bezel in the cartel, changed or modes?

Depends on your point of view.

Yes.

How wide a delta in pricing are we talking?

Gen gloss with applied indices dial (try as I might, I can't love a matte dial) on the Cholex might be enough to tempt me to go no-date.

$1k/$3k

The gloss dial one is really amazing! How you found the ruby's cases? You will choice this one and modding or Phong is still a better choice?

Did you use a Clark bezel for the cheap build? It looks perfect and I need one for my Comex SD.

No it's the Cartel bezel reshaped on a lathe.

I’m shocked by how good the cholex looks. Is it me or do the cholex chamfers look better than the higher end case? Are the chamfers stock or were they redone with a lapping machine?

 

[tripdog]

Everything on the cases was re-done.

Would anyone be interested in selling a 5513 build? I have been in the market for one for quite some time, and I am loving all of the builds on this thread. I am located in Philadelphia for reference.

Both crystals are plexi, the white gold gloss dial is gen so is the crystal, the matte is a dial from Vietnam.

Can you give us some more specs on the second build Trip, Specifically the case and bezel as them bezel teeth are spot on! Great build on both you do amazing work
