This is my 5513. Made in the second half of 1967, aftermarket bezel insert, 78360 bracelet & 380B end links. Always wanted to find a riveted bracelet.

A beauty. The 7206 rivets have sky rocketed in price over the last 4 years. You will pick up an insert on here for a decent price if you keep your eyes peeled. A modded yuki 7206 is a decent bracelet though.

Specs please! Looks like TC hands but which case is used? Not the cartel case is it? Looks great man

It's my simple 5513 build

Specs:
- Rubyswatch vietnam 5513 case set
- TC hands indeed (with a temporary helenarou seconds hand)
- Gen service 5513 dial
- ETA 2840 (going to swap it out for a 2824-2 with lowbeat conversion + helenarou movement ring)
- Cartel bracelet with raffles end link

Thanks for the specs! I knew this wasn't a cartel for sure because I know you to be a proper height stem alignment kind of guy (which I don't blame you) I'm the same way!!

looks great man I'm on the fence on buying a Ruby case myself but they are pricey!!

Which case set did you get out of the Ruby's collections some bezel assembly's on them 5513 looks like 16610 assembly...

5513 franken getting some final wrist-time before it's leaving my hands for a quick repair.

Which insert is that? It looks like a "kissing 40" between the 4 and the 0 but the other side of the four doesn't have the little "angle" like most fat font inserts do at the bottom left of the 4.

Good question Cheld. It was an insert provided by tripdog about 2 years ago, maybe he knows? I don't remember being informed what maker. Looking at this thread: https://www.watchprosite.com/rolex/r...49983.5769208/ it looks like a rep of the Mk1 fat font insert. As the letters "kiss" on that as well.
