This "NOS" look is incredible. Could you list its specs? Thanks a lot, thinking of doing a build like this after my current one.

How about that 2824 hands set, where did you buy them they are beautiful

I think it's a replacement for the old TUDOR.
It's a little disappointing because both the dial and hands are luminova.

The insight I got from a very experienced builder is that for ETA-based builds, Clark's hour and minute hand + cartel seconds hand is the most faithful.

pretty watch

Just saw your 1675, also really beautiful. Looks like you're using a service dial on this 5513 - how much did you get it for?

The same information I have known to receive as well, but I tell you that's not what those on your sub are. But they look great enjoy it! I like the gen dial as well

Cheers,

Not my watch but trash3939 . Given what you just said, I'm very much looking forward to a specification, since there doesn't seem to be much re vintage-style sub ETA offerings!

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding 5513's chapter ring dial, as I am building one up based on that dial. Through my research, I noticed that most(all?) 5513 chapter ring dial has an exclamation dot at 6. Is this true? or does it also come with dial variants that do not have the dot at 6.

I do know that 5512's has chapter ring dials that do not have the dot, but I am just wondering if that is true as well for the 5513. So far I have not seen a pic of a 5513 without.

The dial that was offered to me do not have the dot at 6, and I am confused about whether I should engrave the case 5512, or 5513...ahha

I wish I could find a modder or builder who will actually respond to pm's/emails when I politely approach them (3) for a build.

At this rate I'll just purchase an original and save the f_uckaround.

The exclamation point, like the underline at 6, does not come by default on 5513 dials. It is a marker printed later on the dial that relates to the type of lume used on the dial.

These markers were also present on other watches, like GMT-masters of the time.

The difference between 5512 and 5513 is not dependent on such markings.
