great pics and nice watch!

thanks guys.

I think its black so gonna go with a black insert.

I'm getting close to finishing this project!

thanks for all of your help

I think its black now that I have looked it again and again.....

The blue dials, I can only imagine, would fade lighter over time.... so this should be black right?

Guys - got this dial in the mail today!

bro put a bezel pearl in that insert ASAP!

Hi guys,

In the process of building the tudor blue submariner. I have sourced the case, dial, hands and movement and missing the insert.

Anyone can help me with what is a considered the best version of the insert? Any of the stuff on ebay good?

Thanks in advance.

believe these are phased out and not sourceable from 3rd party shops anymore...

Nope 2824 3035 3135 1570 Have a good look2824 and 3135 the same way except the 1570 and 3035 so a modern 3135 will turn the the same as a 2824

No, thats not what mymanmatt meant. He was referring to the how the hands advance, not the datewheel...

I think there is two distinct tells for a Rolex

1) Most Rolex movements hands advance clockwise (i.e., you are turning the crown upwards to advance the hands) - which is what Mymanmatt meant. ETA does the opposite.

2) Most Rolex movements, when you wind back the hands, you can also wind back the date. ETA does not do that.

I just had a SW200 in my hands and compared to ETA2824 - same dial feet position

And yes, that gold movement in your pic is the standard asian movement. You can tell from the rougher finish and keyless works are completely different to the ETA.

Hope this threads helps educate people

Hey guys,

I got a cartel 1680 but the bracelet is stamped 93250 on the clasp but has hollow endlinks. 

Do you know if the correct version for that time period is 93150? if so, any ideas where to track a 93150 clasp down?

thanks!

thanks Alligoat

any idea if the tudor 9411 had them? been searching 9411 pics but cant find images with the bezel disassembled...

thx!

But the 1680 do?

Do you know what the case is for Tudor 9411?

Guys,

Trying to figure out whether this is the case? (excuse the punt). I have seen cases with and without the o-ring indent?

See below for what I mean:

Top one does not, the bottom has the o-ring indent.

PM me Hazey

lol please

fake as f@%#

KH dial is the latest dial from TC- it's very nice.

thanks - is the back gen-like?

excuse my ignorance but is a KH dial?

How much did you sell the blue for?

Apparently they go for ~$1.5 with box and papers which means it holds pretty good value

Just saw this thread.

Yes, happy to help. 

PM what you need done and i'll see if I can accommodate.

Any chance the gen is manual wind?

Gen is automatic

Thanks for kind words.

Agree the pre-ceramic versions seem nicer (though more prone to scratches on the bezel). 

I don't think i'll be selling these anytime soon - spent too long chasing these two down.

I compared the genuine 2531.8000 with the old version that Paul used to offer (back in 2006) and the quality is there. They were very nice reps.

Saying that though, the current batch of POs are also very good!!

Hey guys,

Deleted the email where they had included the discount code, could some please PM me the discount code again?

I think it shaves off $20?

thanks,

Mboy

No i did not cut the dial feet because the dial is made for the tudor snowflake and fits the eta movements 2824-2 and also fit the 2783 but having said that i purchased a dial that is made for eta movement and the feet are 1 minute off so i have to cut them !

haha your answer was a little confusing...you said you didn't cut the feet at the start but said you cut the feet at the end of the sentence?

Let me rephrase if my question wasn't clear, I have a 2783 movement, if I order a yuki dial, would I have to cut the feet to fit it? (accounting for stem alignment, etc)

thanks again!

This is my trusty 1680 into blue snowflake build ! my dial is a mahand from ebay and it fitted my 2783 , 2783 and 2784 the movements are identical apart from one part but i think that the 2784 is a higher beat , check out my blue snowflake build post

this shot shows the insert i heated it up on a gas stove for short time

this dulled down the shiny insert and gives a matt finish  

the other photo has the old insert that was replaced

Look nice! I read your original thread already

quick follow up question if you don't mind.

Did you have to cut the dial feet off the Yuki dial to fit it to the 2783? I heard the dial feet position don't line up - can you confirm?

Also, 

what if I used a 6mm crown? would that help and be the quicker solution?
