Great piece dropman!
weird hands I must say, never really seen greenish tinge unless there are some corosion, best to have it looked it ASAP.
-
Like I said, the 9411 I have is a late model which doesnt have the standard engraving font on the backcase like you would normally see on other tudors. It is original however.
I'll see if I can do it in the new year.

looks great and thanks for breaking that down.
Anyone know the origins behind the dial?
-
Sorry caught up over weekend. Will look into it this week hopefully
-
guys... the last time I tried, the raffles caseback does not fit the cartel cases.
Can someone pls confirm? I will measure the caseback shortly
-
great stride forward if you can pull this off.
I have a genuine 9411 so will measure it over the weekend.
-
delightful!
-
buy the seller not the picture
-
great work!
is it just me or does the bezel really stand out? i.e., looks bigger than usual... must be the photos!
-
thanks Jack for clearing up the cartel 5513 now!
good work and pls let us know what parts / source you are using! very helpful!

OK, I've just found one of the threads where these were originally discussed;
It's a bit depressing to realise that this is actually a great rep and I never did anything with it.
Just to confirm how good it is, the local Rolex AD ordered and supplied the new bezel insert after inspecting it.
nice - i'm withdrawing mine for sale.
I just dug up the old thread and realise its likely from the sale batch. Different serials, etc.
Worth alot more now too! hold on to it!

Yeah thats the downside with mechanical watches - the service component of it is just so expensive.
I'm not even wearing the vintage watches now as I know its just a wallet burn if it dies....
-
I personally like the backward "z" but when mine showed up at a good price - who was I to argue.
Not sure but I believe the service dials later on all have latter version of the dial
-
for everyone's information:
Dial is genuine, caseback is genuine, crystal has the right mag (not sure if its genuine though). The T125 cyclops is more to the right (to accommodate the eta movement) and it has weaker mag than the 1680 crystals.
I have this version - the positive to this dial version is that it doesn't 'rot' like the previous versions.
here's a pic of mine - notice the dial printing and cyclops.
Also, the bezel insert appears to be fat font so probably not artificially faded? mine is a service insert and you can tell as the font is much thinner. Though those black streaks don't give me as much confidence haha

702 has a gasket sitting on the end of the crown tube - it often gets stuck to the inside of the crown when you remove the crown from the case.
-
No pusher on 1520
There is a screw which you have to unscrew like two turn before you pull the crown out,
The stem should be on setting position before you touch the screw
When you put back turn the screw back, pull the crown once, push back and tighten the screw again
If you unscrew to many turn you may damage the screw and need new one

Sorry misread - 1520 are screw setting pins indeed.
-
are you pushing down on the release pin as you insert the stem back in?
Have a sneaky suspicion you may have messed up the keyless works here
-
crown is not genuine
the bezel insert appears to be aftermarket too
-
great find!
Show us some pics after its assembled...
-
look gen to me also - the flat "3" on the endlink side
the clasp photo looks sht though - cant see finer details...
but $1.2K seems high for the condition that it is in
-
Well guys if its impossible for a very similiar hand writing, please as a twin i know better. I would be happy if i can post our picture together but as a privacy sorry no. If you want to believe that im lying then so be it, if you believe that im not, thank you. I would like to know on how to become VIP here, so that i can give a rwg member a good deal on the dial my brother bought. Thanks a lot
you are lucky as fk that ppl on this board are nicer -
You are on everyone's radar and we will make your life just as hard if you try to pull that stunt here on this board.
There are way too many Aussies on this board also - take that as a warning.

try Automatico on this forum.
He has raffle Tudor casebacks (I sold him mine before) and could potentially get a photo for you.
