Second build of the Sub 5514 Comex
Same punition as for the first edition, complete story was described here,
Ingredients :
A Cartel's 1665 thick case found in my spare parts magic box, which has been reduced in thickness from the top and the rehaut also and reshaped.
CG also reshaped and lug holes re-drilled for the gen Rolex springbars clearance.
The crown has been also shortened to have the same apparence than the gen 24-703.
The 1665 thick bezel ring has been also reduced in high to have the same thickness as the submariner bezel.
The only investment is the 28.00 usd Yuki pearl I filled with lume material
I have removed the faux HEV and drilled the case. The project is to recreate an artifact, something working, dont know what, but I will find an issue before going in water of course... I hate false fonctions like false HEV or like fixed hand at 6 for Cosmographs.
The dial was bought from Ephry73 and relumed. The plexi origin is Otto Frei, but it was complete reshaped and repolished to make it looks like the real thing.
The movement is an Asian low beats ressucited from my trash can, complete rebuilt, serviced and relooked to simulate a Rolex 1520 (just simulate...)
I will adapt a modified folded bracelet with a clasp and a diver extension like the first 5514 I have built.
The bezel insert was slightly faded and completed with the Yuki pearl
Here 2 photos from the first post
and the Edition 2...
Lume is not to bad... a personal magic mixture....
the first 5514 and the little sister
