  1. Hey gents I have learned in the general discussion area that I need a Tudor Snowflake dial to fit movement 2783 and that the dial yuki offers will not work.

     

    Does anyone know where I might be able to buy a dial for 2783 to fit in my gen 94110?

     

    Or does anyone have a dial that the feet can be moved?

     

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. This may sound like a Want to Buy ad but I think this information will prove valuable to future users to have in the Rolex area.

     

    Thank you all so much for saving my butt on buying the wrong dial.

     

    I was hoping it would be as easy as ordering a Yuki Dial but this is part of the fun I guess.
     

  2. This is what the yuki site says.

     

    Rolex Tudor Submariner Dial Parts for date 9411 white lume aftermarket dial for cal 2824 / 2836 / 2892

     

    This Tudor black submariner dial will only fit on Tudor ETA movement 2824 / 2836 / 2892  have date movement Diameter is 26mm, the dial feet at 12 and 42 minutes.

     

     

    My movement is 2783 not listed above.

     

    Does anyone know if the feet positions are the same for all these movements or if mine if different?

  3. Hello guys, Thanks for having such a great place to explore and learn.

     

    I am in need of some assistance.

     

    I am looking for certian parts but cannot seem to find any exact answers.

     

     

    I know some members here have access to and sell parts for eta but I cannot find exactly who to talk to.

     

     

    I am in need of a tall hour wheel and tall seconds wheel for eta 2834-2

     

    I will post a WTB if nessasary but it seem that the WTB section gets the least hits and maybe my post would be missed

     

     

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide or for anytime you spend reading this,

  4. Hey guys. I don't know if any of you have read any of my introduction thread but I have gen watches but love to tinker and I respect both sides of the rep/gen world and enjoy reading your input and looking at your projects. 

     

     

    Ok mini introduction done, 

     

     

     

    I have a 16000 case set and many gen dials and bezels, hands, Crowns, tubes, crystals, that will fit it. 

    I am short a gen movement to make it a watch in my rotation.

     

     

    I was stupid enough to buy Yuki clone movement just to have it break in just two weeks. (never worked right from the start)

     

    Now I have a broken Yuki movement (in Pieces because I was determined to see what was wrong with it, I don't care about the money I wasted I am just glad I am done with that junk)

     

    I have a domed plastic crystal in my parts that fits this case very good and tight. I think it is a tropic 21 but I don't know since I have many crystals mixed up. 

     

    sitting down with my mountain of parts makes me want to attempt some kind of a 1016 build. 

     

    I have a messed up old YUKI 1016 dial that I used to see if it would fit so I could order another and try and put something together. 

     

    It is a tad big to fit the case. So close though that I think I could shave one of their dials to fit the case. 

     

    I know you guys know your Shi* and before I go ordering parts to only fail I thought I would upgrade my membership start contributing to the forum and ask for your help. 

     

     

    Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated, 

     

    Also one last though, Should I sell the case and move on after the Yuki movement failure. 

     

    Its like being slapped by someone with a long reach. I have enjoyed playing with the parts they offer for years and have never had any problems, Now the movement fails at almost $300 and what can you do but get [censored] and give up. 

     

    Thanks guys, BrotherSterling

     

     

     

    I have all my parts at work so I will post up some pics on Monday,

     

  5. Hey again. I know no body knows me here but I do like the way everyone seems to help each other.

    On my last post at the bottom I mentioned I am searching for a built Daytona with the right movement.

    My question is do these not come for sale very often??

    Am I better off just starting to try and build my own??

    ANyhow here are some of my watches and Straps. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

  6. some genuine watches.

    I have in the past built up watches and have been through a million problems with dials, hands and cases. A while back I was going to build a 5508 but God reached down from heaven and handed me one.

    Recently I installed a Explorer style dial in a 1018 and previously I have swapped movements and cases only to find problems with Datejust calendars being different than Submariners and so on.

    I have also found that aftermarket seconds hands rarely fit good and often the center seconds pinion is too large to fit into the tube on the seconds hand. Anyway here are a few pics.

    I have posted a few times here but this is kind of a reintroduction. I want to build a Plastic crystal Daytona with V72 and Texas dial but really what I want is to just buy one already done for me. ANyone know how much I should pay for a completed project like that??
