looks pretty decent JMB. The lines are not from the printer jets saturating? The end result is pretty decent, considering that you only see it in areas that will be lumed. I like it. Maybe do a test print using a photo printer on high grade photo paper to see how it comes out and isolate the issue to a particular printer, or the image itself. This is great progress. E

+1 to JMB. That is what I do when feet are gone. ETA movements have that little ring that works well. E

For lack of a good printer, I am willing to buy someone else's datewheel with open 6sand 9s to fit the ETA movement. This is to finish my 1665 project and have it be more legit. Or trade a movement or two for one with the correct datewheel E

HAHA I hear you. Just trying to see if the print job would be easier with less objects to fill. I have a 26.5mm Comex dial no date that I may want to try this decal trick on for the Tudor dial. I got lucky and got a Rose sub dial to use in my 5514/Tudor fantasy build. I sent you PM regarding crystal retainers, but not sure if you got it. E

You need a big crown, contact Athaya or Raffles-time. I have an 8mm on order from each to compare. I have a similar project, but using a new case as if the factory never stopped making this model. E

Good to know. Looks awesome. E

Me likey! How was the fitting of the yuki parts? E

Pols very very nice. I may have to trade the 5514 project for one of these. E

Whose case is that JMB? I wanted to ask you about the retainers you have made. E

Sorry, let me see, just create a template for the tudor wording and logo, then simply stick it on, there is no way to make these as rub on decals, but the idea is to use a sterile dial and just add to it, as opposed to trying to get the markers, indices and such. E

I thought the cartel units had the wrong bezel assenbly. E

After reading this thread, I want to know what everyone is doing for a more gen like retention ring and bezel arrangement. I have a Trevor 5514 case that looks very good and thus far has a functioning sealed HEV(cannot test for actual performance, but no leaks) and I want to stay away from the GS glue and retention ring that falls out issue. What is everyone doing for the setup? JMB, is there an alternative bezel/retention ring combo? E

Does anyone know which rep daytona case(Paul Newman) would take a gen 7750 or 72 movement? E

I'm definitely collecting parts for a similar build. This can easily be my new daily wearer when done. Great images and great watch for sure. E

Awesome JM. Now, How about the text above the hands hole on the dial? Maybe a mix of prints instead of one print job will be easier on the printer? E

Sounds like great news. E

I'm in. Why not print just the black and paint the dial base white or lume white? I think there is something similar being done in a different post. That would simplify the printing process and less room for run-off. I think. Looks great. Maybe make the submariner less bold, or use a slightly different font? E

Nice, I guess it does have potential though. E

That doesn't look bad at all Teejay. How's the overall fit and finish? Movement ring holder quality? Dial? is it interchangeable with gen parts?

All very good to know. So PTs bracelets are the better ones to get for these 93150s then? E

So what is the best source for the 93150? E

That IS the challenge for sure. E

I wonder if this was done this way because of the different movements. Both the early manual wind and the 2472 series. E

Image link. E

The 39 was for the 1665. Looks like the t-19 will do for now. OFrei has different ID options and looks like the better deal. I am still looking for a gen-like bezel arrangement for the 1665 E
