feel free to make offers and if you want both we can come to some kind of deal as well.
was curious where to sell tools. I got a e25 press but have never used it as I don't change crystals or plan on building any watches for the foreseeable future
Wanted to build a 5513. Did wore it for two days and realized it’s way too similar to other watches I own. So raffles case with an aged black bezel to grey blue and the pip fell out today. Ewatchparts hands aged, Raffles 5513 dial aged and texture not a good job but thrown in for the hell of it. And 5513 case that has some wear on it and has a glued Ewatchparts t19 crystal will include factory raffles one as well.
Just make an offer on it so I can put it towards another build.
It really tested me because I was using new tools a different room with carpet now because it’s to hot to do it in my garage.
I aged the bezel with bleach and acetone.
Line was a little bit of both Tamya A and B then sprayed with ts80 matte. Had some great texture last night but was like I want to tame it a bit then sprayed it again and sneezed on it. So it made it a little fucked up but all in all I’m happy but I’ll probably pull it apart and order a new dial and re do it all. The pt5000 wasn’t as hard to mess with as i was lead to believe. Also put the Ewatchparts crystal in it and cracked it a tiny, tiny bit on the side.
Next up will be redo this or do a 1016 explorer.
Didn’t plan on the texture going that hard. At first I hated it then I was like it’s okay hahaha. Hopefully will finish up my 5513 tomorrow!
Ken emailed me and they are listed now. It seems to look a lot better to me but I’m also new to this.
I’ll probably order one here in a Few weeks.
Maybe went a little too far. Oh well I need to order more hands as I dropped one anyway. Raffles 5513 was a black bezel insert maybe used a little to much acetone with the bleach hahaha.
On the good side I didnt fuck up the keyless works
Yes I know crownguards need to be opened up a bit but I’ve never done that and I’m taking this build easy and I’ll eventually do it.
Any one know where to get extra hands for a raffles 5513 in the USA without waiting forever. I lost one and have been looking for 2 hours now and can’t find it.
Pt5000 movement
so I have a e25 crystal press. For swapping the crystals on the raffles builds and others such as 1016/16xxx/1675 etc I need a deep die for them correct? And if so what sizes?
Also if anybody has 3d printed one and would possibly share the file I’ll love you forever hahaha.
I’m about to embark on this journey and do a raffles 5513 this upcoming week. And figured I see people always swap crystals so may as well do it before I build it.
Also do I need a bezel removal tool ones looking at one from Ali express but need to know if any are okay from there.
I think that and the correct does are my last tools I need for a good bit.

Booth this accidentally. I had this and a pt5000 in my cart and ordered this instead of that.
It’s brand new other than photos and putting it on the timegrapher to make sure it was good before I listed it.
$60 shipped in the USA. Obo
So my wife actually asked me what got me into liking more retro older watches and the design of it. And the simple answer is this beat to fuck 1601 from the 70s I believe, that my grand father wore every day.
I remember seeing him gut a fish after a long day on the river and it be covered in fish guts and scales then drop it in a bowl of degreaser when we got back home.
Also it dosent work but maybe someday it will.
Just figured I’d share it with yall.
Also oddest thing I realized it’s date is stuck on the 2nd which also happens to be the day he died.
Did the raffles dial for my seamaster 300 build. Was scared shitless but hey I think it turned out decent.
Used sand and light sand from tamiya kit then a few coats of ts80 matte clear.
I’m waiting for new hands as when removing the minute hand folded.
But all in all pretty happy for a first try. Maybe next time I’ll try some texture does anyone ah e any tips for that?
Good mail day. Now do I need the chrono or the plain one more. Also. It sure why it looks tiny my wrist is only 6.375”
well wish me luck y'all I'm aging my raffles dial tonight and its my first time doing this.
I have the matte clear, two different weathering kits, copic markers, coffee lots of coffee I'm pretty sure at this point I'm 90 percent coffee.
any suggestions on which i should start with? I'm wanting a more cream color for a omega dial
I’m actually wanting to do a set of the thorn t026 one the seamaster 300, and another the railmaster.
