Beautiful pair of tudors there! I had one question, is the snowflake dial gen? And did you get it re-lumed, looks like different lume in those shots? Just curious...

I'm definitely diggin' it to... Man I'm getting the itch for this one haha! I might get started on adding a new brother to the snowflake

The gen 128 looks great K! Definite upgrade

Looks great K! Funny how you were looking at a tudor last week, and now... ...well deserved, now I'm jealous And big props to Ubi! Fantastic piece!

Thanks everyone! I haven't been able to take my eyes off of it for the past couple of days haha! Now I just need a tritium pearl and caseback, so I still have some leg work to do...but I'm definitely enjoying this one.

I just received this beautiful piece back from my good friend Justasgood and I just wanted to show it off! I so appreciated his help with this project and just saw that he will be receiving a cousin from Ubi, congratulations! So I've been wanting this watch since the first time I saw the tudor snowflake models. As it has been said numerous times, the snowflake dial/hands and tudor name just give the watch that little bump in unique character. And in my personal opinion the dial is much more pleasing to the eye. It originally started out as an MBW 5513 swiss ETA 2836-2 white dial, with some mods, which I then proceeded to convert to a Tudor Snowflake 9401. I just needed to source an appropriate movement, dial/hands, and caseback. I also want to thank my friend Ubi who helped me with answers to questions like what type of movement I needed to source and how compatible everything was to swap into my MBW. The mods are as follows -MBW 5513 Case -Gen Swiss ETA 2783 -Yuki 9401 dial & hands -93150 band / 2mm 580 ends from Puretime -Gen 703 crown/gen tube -Gen T19 (not superdome) -Ubi faded insert w/Ofrei pearl -CGs shaped -2mm lugholes -insert recessed I just need an appropriate caseback which I have a lead on... and a tritium pearl which will be spendy lol. The pics aren't the best and the lume is not as yellow as it looks in the pics. 5513 Before Tudor

Just threw my 1665 on a military grey maratac nato - lovin' it!

5513 with freshly "Ubi'd" bezel

Awesome! Thanks for the details JoJo! And the crystal came out great, very nice job

Yes he does! I had seen your insert and actually referenced the shade he got yours to as the example, lol. It's going back onto my MBW 5513 and will be enjoyed very much!

Man R! It looks exactly how I was picturing it to be! It is appreciated deeply, and I can't wait to get it back on

Oooh, if a green milgaus crystal fit, that would be an awesome idea! And amazing watch PB!

Hey JoJo, what method did you use to sand the inside of the crystal, it seems such a small space to be able to sand around the curves evenly with just your finger? If you don't mind me asking?

Yeah I vote black nato

Haha, looking great K! I knew that case looked familiar It's going to be a cool watch! Are you sticking with the oyster band, or are you going to slap it on a nato?
