"Custom" built Sub 5513. They replaced the gen Rolex movement with a clone 2824. Interesting franken build...

From memory another member posted this guys sales on ebay a few years back and there was alot of discussion on whether he might be a member on the rep sites and if the sales breached ebays policies. A couple of his franken watches had sterile cases with rolex movements. impressive feedback

Going through his eBay feedback, it looks like most of his sales are for "custom" or franken builds...

It's not even a genuine ETA movement in it. Ugh. He's gotta be a member of the forums. Description and build would be unlikely otherwise.

And it sold!

And it sold!

And now the link automatically redirects you to a 1970 5513 that the seller claims is "all original" but which has a flat-4 insert instead of a Mk3 fat font.

$1833 US for a crown, a crystal, a service dial, an '80s insert, a cartel equivalent case, cheapie hands and an Asian movement. Nice work if you can get it (and not get caught).
