well that wont work on my MBW 5513..... lol

I know the feeling on it, mine will be here tomorrow and im just trying to figure out what parts I wanna use!

I can't figure out if I want the freshly serviced look. Or the vintage yellow patina look.

If you are sticking with a meters first dial. Some aging/patina looks great and accurate. Feet first, we see plenty of examples that are very "white".

Good to know. This dial looks pretty good?


Yes I like Yuki's Sub dials. Reasonable $ and if I remember you can order with ETA feet and ETA hands. We used one in my Yuki cased franken build a couple years ago and it turned out great. Generally need to redo the Lume on the dials and hands to give it some texture but can be used stock as well.
This was a Yuki dial. As stated earlier I wish we would have used a touch darker patina on this one. I do think this would be great color and texture for feet first.

I think shy of a whoppie (which you would have to have lumed) then the consensus seems to be that the yuki is the best aftermarket dial available currently.

Indeed, great guy and seriously good at his work. Plus he only lived 120 miles from me...

I basically want to clone your gen 5513 (the one you recently got from the car dealer) its my current grail watch. not just any 5513 but your 5513.

Hey thanks man. All the credit goes to Mike who matched up the hands perfectly. Hit me up anytime and I can send you some pics.

I'm pm'ing him about the possibility of a gen movement for my MBW. Long term goals with it are a super franken.
