I purchased the docs custom 5513 case, it’s pretty much perfect. He did a little work on the lugs and drilled the holes for me for a little extra, very happy with the product. Here’s the pictures, don’t judge the case on the crown, I added the Atheya crown and tube and it didn’t go quite as planned but that’s my own lack of skill.
Pleasure to deal with and extremely helpful. Would recommend.

I just got mine in the last week or so, still trying to decide what parts to build it with. At the moment, I'm torn between Yuki and Helenrou dials. I was going to use a spare Raffles dial, but they're too big!

For dials? Are they significantly better than the others? I'm starting to struggle to keep all the most current information sorted in my wee brain, lol.

My Railmaster dial comes from him.
Also, they are somewhat more robust than Yuki or HR. Not fool proof as Raffles .

Another option for you is to make a 5517
The 5517 Raffles dial is 26mm

I actually have a Raffles 5517 dial in my parts stash, it was going to be built on a Raffles case, but maybe I'll do this one instead.

So damn many options, lol

I know 🤣
I have four builds to complete and with the cold outside I can’t do metal work

and then I ordered even more parts

It took me days to decide to make the first Blancpain X Swatch prototype as quartz instead of Nh35…

Just for info mines a HR dial, I’m pleased with it but bivintage is good too
