Nice great thanks!

I am planning to buy a vintage tudor movement 2483 being sold to me.. would like to know how difficult it is to find hands and stem that would fit.. Another thought, would it also fit a cartel case? Really need to know before taking the plunge, any info is much appreciated please Cheers.

Thanks gents! I actually already bought a yuki.. what bothers me with the yuki is the "triangle" size index at 12oclock.. its too small, same as the triangle index used on the snowflake dial 7016/7928 dials have a longer and slimmer triangle, slimmer 3-6-9 indeces as well..
-
I have been eyeing this dial for awhile now.. http://vintagewatchesmq.com/minhquy/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=815&category_id=147&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 Anyone tried this dial? Will it fit eta 2824? Based on what I read i reckon 390 has different dial feet with 2824? Or do I need to clip the dial feet?
-
Thanks for the advice.. this is what i meant..not necessarily protrude but its just that i cannot see the lugbar ends from the hole.. You think the holes need some opening? Or just leave it as is?
-
Thanks guys, Dumb question.. can i open the hole abit using jewelers smoothing broach? Existing hole is 1.2mm.. Was planning to open it abit
-
Reviving thread.. Any suggestions on where to buy 1.25mm drill bit? The existing hole in my case is I think 1.2mm but the spring bar head doesnt stick out (i got it mod by someone and he said he used a 1.2mm mill) i want to have the spring bar kind of visible.. Is it possible to open the hole manually by hand? Any leads to where I can purchase 1.25mm bit would be appreciated. cheers

Is the aftermarket assembly you are saying is plug n play? Or mods need to be done? Thanks! -
hi guys, happy holidays here goes, im no expert in watch movements or tinkering with it so i need your help. I have a jmb 1016 and im planning to replace the movement because its running funny and stressing me out. I think its an asian 2824 with hacking. The problem is while wearing the watch and moving the wrist the movement stops then moves again if its shaken a bit. Causing the time to be late. Where in if its fully charged and left on the table it keeps accurate time. so now i dont know the best solution, either change the movement to a better one or get it repaired? What is your best choice for a robust movement for this build? appreciate your help guys PS: any trusty watch repair guys in aussie you can recommend? Im living in NZ and its hard to find good watchmakers here.

The clasp with the stamped 78350 was originally with the rivet bracelet when i got it, i think its a raffles rivet bracelet.. I swapped the "clasp lock" with the one i bought from my watch smith
-
If this is gen this is definitely a good buy for me! Side shot of clasp.. Another shot Nanuq thanks for the offer lol ) But the side shot of the clasp would confirm if its gen or not.. Fingers crossed
-
Great review! Thanks a lot! A bit off topic, sorry to invade OP, got this clasp lock at an old watch repair shop.. He sold it to me for $20.. Really have no idea if its gen or not.. I only based my guts on the quality of the big crown.. Anyone can shed some opinion if its gen or not? Crappy zoom loupe iphone shot
-
Thanks for enlighting me brothers!
-
Noob alert question... Just curious, so if i have a JMB enhanced case and eventually want to put a gen 1520 movement it wouldnt fit? Or a ton of work will need to be done to make the movement fit? Again apologies for the noob question
-
Nice build! Caseback also engraved?
-
Loving this build!
-
Great looking watch right there! More pics please
-
Thanks for the reply been eyeing joshs 5513.. still want to know and searching the forum if it really fits gen parts
-
Hi guys, sorry for the noob question.. How do you get hold of a cartel 5513 and MBK? Where can i order it? Thanks!

And this is the bracelet from raffles http://www.ebay.com/itm/20mm-Vintage-Submariner-Style-SS-Watch-Bracelet-/150798635428?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item231c4c91a4 What do you guys think?
-
Thanks for the reply! Im really thinking about either yukis or TC's 93250... Im going to use it on a 5513 type sandoz case... Thanks guys
-
Anyone here experienced hands on the raffles submariner hollow curve end bracelet? How is the quality? Any suggestions on where to buy quality 5513 bracelet replacement?

So does it mean both are gen-like construction?
