This is my 5513 and in my opinion it's a perfect budget build without going wild on Vietnam case, Italian bracelet, gen parts, and so on.
Here are the specs:
- JK Cartel 1680 Donor Watch (the laser engraved 1680 markings are all hidden)
- Ruby 5513 dial
- SWISS ETA 2836-1 (high beat)
- CWP Hands lumed to match dial
- Sternkreuz T19
- Athaya crown + tube
- Viet bezel (stated)
- Raffles end links + clasp
- Rep folded link bracelet (not sure of the maker, bought here on RWI for $120)
- 2mm Gen-spec fat spring bars with perfectly flat ends
I bought the head with some mods done next door but then I did a lot of work to it myself such as reshaping the lugs more and softened the chamfer including redrilling and deburring the lug holes and polishing by hand. I have also added/upgraded parts. Here is the original link to where I got it with valuation of parts by the original seller: https://www.repgeek.com/rep-watch-t...-eta-low-beat-viet-dial-cwp-hand-relumed.html
I shaved the bracelet end links by hand which took forever as I was test-fitting as I went to make sure I got them just perfect so that there is no end link jangle and the spring bars click in perfectly. If you like the jangle you can open them up or shave them a bit more, but I like them fitted perfect and quiet.
I mounted the dial and hands with a custom dial spacer to center the stem perfectly in the tube and then I shaved the movement retaining ring to allow the movement to sit just right while not pressing hard on the dial. The movement is a genuine Swiss ETA 2836-1 that I installed as it was serviced and dead on accurate with great PR, however the rotor was too loud for my liking so I replaced it with a silent rotor from a rep AP that I was saving for just the right moment. If you prefer the louder ETA rotor I can put that back in for you but then I'm keeping the AP rotor. I have not had this pressure tested so I can not claim any water resistance but it's been splashed a few times and never had an issue.
For what it's worth I originally paid 735 EUR for the head alone and then I put more into it as mentioned above. I can share a screenshot of the PP statement to show the transaction if needed.
I'm asking less at $700 USD via PP f&f shipped in USA, UK, Canada. I guarantee customs clearance to USA and UK or your $ back in full, and after clearance the rest of the trip is in the hands of the watch Gods. I am happy to ship worldwide but I can not make a customs clearance guarantee to any other country.
Please PM me if interested. Thank you.
