Thank you all. This one does look good. I wonder if it's in 115x75 size??

Hi guys,

I know they are now extremely expensive. I found one on TZ http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=6425582&rid=0#msg_6425582

Is this my only option? Anyone knows good quality tropic?

Thanks

Yes, currently only option is Phong or Mingh. All others are out of the 6538 cases as they are discontinued.

You guys should try a group buy. I know a few guys who are about to buy a couple of cases. The lowest he is willing to go is 1450$ but in a group buy it may be better. Just a thought

Phong said if you buy 5 cases he will sell them at $1250.

I appreciate the offer & will certainly take you up on it if you are able to source something better than what I have. Unfortunately, I have not seen any truly accurate 5514 casebacks (other than the 1-off replacement Ubi received from Phong or gen).

 

I haven't seen the latest Phong 5514 cb, but I remember HH ones were very very good?

And since Yuki and Cartel is out of the 6538 cases (as it's a discontinued item) Phong maybe the best alternative.

Yes, Phong cases for 6538 are the best, but veryyyyy expensive. Maybe Athaya will have the alternative soon?

It's in euros.

Have to agree. Great guy and great knowledge!!

I was looking for my snowflake and I think will go for Mary 7836 and the clasp from Raffles.

Ok then is Mary is the best choice then? Good eyes everyone !!!

Hi guys,

I just saw the new 7836 bracelet on Yuki website: http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/8082246.htm What are you thoughts on it? Or should I just go with Mary? Also, is this Tudor clasp from Raffles any good? http://www.rafflestime.com/servlet/the-960/Clasp-for-Tudor-Prince/Detail

Thanks

I had the same issue, and after I performed the full movement service and changed the mainspring is running like a champ

Great movement!! I think it will be a great project!!

@mjmj Is this Tudor Big Crown from Yuki? How do you like it?

@mjmj Is this one from Yuki? How do you like it?

Thank you guys for the info. I was trying toly find Nanug post thats he mention, but no luck. I guess the verdict is CWP handset then.

Hi guys,

I am almost finish gathering parts for the build, but last bump in a road: handset. I know Yuki is ok but is there a better option? Here is what I found so far:

CWP: http://www.classicwatchparts.com/catpart/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=39

Tiger: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNOW-FLAKE-watch-hand-for-ETA-Tudor-Submariner-Sub-/190686696271?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c65d0134f#ht_5125wt_917

Is there any other option? And out of this one's which is better? I know CWP is good, but does they really that good at $65?

Thank you all.

DW has a Clapton?

Yes. Search on 'clapton daytona' I remember member have one.

I don't think ETA 7750 will work for this build. Have you looked at the DW 'Clapton' daytona?
