New mostly gen 5513 build

[Ko67]

I have the items for my next build. Specs are:

Gen 5513 midcase
Gen bezel ring and crystal retainer
Gen crystal
Gen 700 crown and tube
Gen service insert
Gen rolex 1530 mvt
Yuki 5513 case back (aged and modded with old service marks)
Yuki 5513 dial and hands (for now)

The look we are going for is a 1970's watch just back from RSC overhaul.

Great parts collection, looks like a great franken build coming around! Hope you sourced the parts cheaper than a gen would have cost you

how much was that movement?

I bought a trashed non working 1007 air king on fleabay and repaired the movement . I have lesa than $700 in the movement . This will be a sub $3k watch build but just barely . Low range gen money, but a near gen watch.
