    Bart well done. I need to work on getting you excited and focused on some Tudor submariner dials, like triangle marker 9401 and snowflakes. 

    Keep at it and let me know when the Tudor bug bites. 

  2. As JMB has said you would need a thicker dial spacer with your 2824. I would recommend going the 2846/36 route which is an easy fit with a standard dial spacer into the cheaper Cartel 2813 case (or just buy the 2836 version). Only other issue with the cheaper case that I've come across are the misspelt and inaccurate engravings between the lugs, this might be just luck of the draw and can be easily sanded out.

     

    After you've drilled out the lug holes to 1.3mm and shaped the crown guards with a diamond file you'll have a fairly decent case for the price. Here are a few shots of my reshaped Cartel CGs, with an Athaya 702 crown and tube. Btw. you will need to countersink the hole and carefully re-tap the thread before fitting the tube, otherwise the crown may sit too high.

    Thia is looks great. You did an awesome job

  3. Only way anyone will call you out is 1) it is next to a gen submariner and even then it is only the metal color that would be different to most or 2) if you don't have business wearing one. The rolex is the most commonly faked watch in history. Most everyone jumps to the conclusion of fake unless they know you. My omegas get spotted as nice watches but everyone "knows" rolex.
