Genuine Cyclop 116, genuine crown, custom Viet dial, reshaped and engraved cartel case. Shaved caseback to low dome. Note the correct shape of the CGs on the mid case !

Going to share my build diary here. This is a build I recommend beginners / newcomers / modders / watchsmith / and everyone else to do because it's so simple and yet the results are amazing Finished the build immediately when the parts arrived today Here are the final specs: - Genuine Tudor dial - Genuine Rolex 603 crown - Genuine ETA 2834-2 (brand new!) - Raffles case set and bracelet (brand new) - Rare aftermarket Tudor hands The case set and everything else that I needed has arrived today: First step is to change the day disc to a better one (as provided as part of the kit). The movement ring is also change to the one that is provided as part of the kit Stock ETA day disc on the left. Better day disc with serif fonts wasinstalled (the better day disc is provided as part of the kit) Next, movement tabs and screws were installed; the gaskets were also greased. You can see the beauty of a brand new ETA 2834-2 Hands were then installed Crystal and smooth bezel were aligned and pressed onto the watch So far, the bracelet quality and case set accuracy/quality is much better than their usual Datejust case and Oyster bracelet. The bracelet feels smooth and gen. FINISHED!! The case shape is amazing! I don't have to reshape the case - it's perfect. Overall, the Tudor Date-Day is a VERY straightforward build and I recommend it to members who just started modding/franken-ing/building watches. The end results are beautiful, and there is no need to fidget with DWO / dial spacer height / dial feet etc (like Rolex builds)

Yep. All the best reps are made in Gelena [emoji38]

Is it printed with Swiss ink then? If it doesn’t say Shitinerand on the back I’m not interested Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Understandable, fellas... It doesnt really matter how/what/why, but an unauthorised PP dispute is always a bad move...

Thanks! Haha we all have to start from somewhere - here are some videos and tutorials that helped me start modding watches: - 2824-2 resetting keyless = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b83l-1DmlQ&app=desktop - installing/removing hands, de-casing movement, etc = http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?24567-Fitting-Gen-Dial-Hands-amp-Crystal-into-a-UPO - Cwazy's tutorials (e.g. installing / removing hands, removing stem, etc, relume) = https://www.youtube.com/user/cwazy11/videos - relume video = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyEB2yDBXbM (part 1 - there are more parts to it from the same author) - ncrich's basic cartel mods = https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/vintage-watches/280725-basic-mods-to-the-jfk-cartel-sub-step-by-step i bent a few sets of hands when i first started - hand setting can be tricky. I recommend using a 10x loupe with steady hands
