I really like it, what are the specs on that one? :)
Thought I would get the Comex off of the NATO for a bit and load a set of gen 93150 links on. Now I juat need some old end links...

Thanks [MENTION=93698]Retina[/MENTION] that wasn't what I had originally planned for. I was going to rebrush these links but once on the watch I thought it looked appropriate for what a 5514 would look like after decades.

[MENTION=126233]Limer[/MENTION] it is a MBW 5514 with gen crown, gen T19 service plexi, I relumed the dial/hands for light vintage effect, faded the insert to this great blue?grey and reshaped the crown guards. The bracelet links are gen 93150 and claspnis a cartel rep 93150. I should have a gen clasp for it soon as well.

Love that piece my friend :)

I found my old swatch which I bought last year... Pretty much a safe queen but still an awesome piece

[MENTION=93698]Retina[/MENTION] I have certainly had quite a few of the Swatch watches. Mainly to harvest the 2842 inside! It us a great movement. You certainly have to be creative how you mount it though!

[MENTION=48734]momedic[/MENTION] you have scored a great build there! I am suprised Slay turned loose of it. It is such a crapshoot getting the insert to take on that tropical brown like that! The whole look is amazingly good.

Enjoy and be careful driving while wearing it![emoji12]
