Hi,
New to the forum and not sure where to post. I have been looking around for a Rolex 5513 rep and have had
no luck so far; contacted TT as they have on their website, but Andrew said factories don't have them anymore.

I am trying to recreate a functional movie prop and need all the parts for the watch, less the movement.
I want it to be as accurate as possible and there is some heavy modifications to be made.

So I am coming here to see if anyone can point me in the right direction to acquire rep parts for:
- complete watch
- separate components that can be used together.

Here is a photo of the watch.
Appreciate any help guidance
Thanks Ken

welcome-

there are several routes you can go- but if you have someone with rudimentary watch skills you can build yourself one - try rafflesdials dot com. He will take good care of you and would be a very economical option.

another option would to look at Aliexpress or DHGate- though it is a crapshoot as to what will show up in your mailbox a month later... depending on how tight a shot you plan on making on the watch face- something like this might work?

Hi,

I have this Seiko MOD laying around, it is 1:1 to this one, but still in stickers:
Slap on an oyster bracelet and you are good to go!
