  1. Well, it's all done and I'm in love. kuared supplied case, dial and hands with genuine rolex 1520 movement purchased from Chrono 24. Also rocking a ghost bezel. Appreciate all the advice from you guys. Now I just need to beat the [censored] out of it 😜
  2. Really appreciate your feedback. It's frustrating as my helenrou dial has (to my eye at least) a better overall look. However, the structure of the lume on the kuared dial is closer to the finish on your gen sub. I may have to ask the watchmaker to use the helenrou dial and get him to match the kuared hands to the to helenrou colour 🤔 Really appreciate your feedback.

  3. My apologies for troubling you all again but just wanted to give you an update. I purchased the case and bezel set from Kuared watches in Vietnam. Happy with those. However, I had to purchase a hand and dial set afterwards as the helenrou hands wouldn't fit the 1520 rolex movement. Kuared sent them and they arrived today. I'm not sure about the caking on the dial plots and wanted your views. Is this acceptable as aged looking plots or do I take him to task? I'm wondering whether my watchmaker can tidy it up
  4. Appreciate your feedback. What do you think of the phong cases (images above)?
  5. Thank you again. It may just be easier to go for the Phong complete case set up. It's bloody expensive but looks spot on. From all the cases, it looks the most accurate
  6. Hey, thank you so much for responding and really appreciate your efforts. Do you know if the bezel assembly will fit the HR case?
  7. Guys, can you help me with this. I have a full build from HR and I love it. However, the bezel has always been an issue for me, it just seems too think and small. HR also used the plexi super dome which doesn't help (I'm not sure it's even accurate for a 5517). Question is, where can I get a proper bezel and insert from, one that is true to gen? I've heard clarks do a good 5513 bezel but I'm not sure it would fit on the HR case. I've been in touch with Phong who seems very helpful. However, be wants $1650 jjst for the complete case (no dial, hands or movement). It's a little out of my budget
  8. Hi mate, did the Clark bezel assembly go straight onto the HR case? I hate the HR bezel and need to change it as it sits too thin and exposes too much of the plexi-crystal. If it did, may I ask where you got the milsub graduated insert from? Do clerks make one?
