@jimcon11   That is a sharp looking tudor  I have been getting into the early tudor and rolex 34mms lately

 

I am on the hunt for a nice 7904 or 7909   

 

 

Yuki sells a domed crystal that may fit this case.  

Model no: No.44006/C 294
Model fit: Tudor Oyster Prince 74000 wiithout date magnifier or Tudor Ranger 9050
Material: Acrylic
Outer Diameter: 29.40mm
Inner Diameter: 27.80mm
Height: 3.50mm

This is a Silix 15000 case set that I used for this build but it fits the mid case well .  also fits the Raffles 34mm cases however the ID of the bezel does need to be increased on those.

Interesting.  I am not big into the subs but those cg are the tell here.

so the movement/ watch  pic...is that of a gen watch or can the cartel case fit a gen movement?

 

Cool project. Look fwd to seeing it done.

its not too bad.. is it off Aliexpress?

looking fwd to seeing this one put together.  I want to build one too!!  

 

I corrected the position for other members to enjoy! 

Nicely done my friend....it looks great!!   That is the MQ Dial?

 

Best part is you can swap back at any time if you wish!!  

 

Congrats!  Wear it well

 

cheers

Any progress on this?  Did you source the dial & Hands?

In my best estimation it would be an 80’s dial. Or a 80’s service dial.

A simple mod to pop off the bezel. I prefer it on a bracelet.




With bezel

1960 1016


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wanted to build a early 1016 with some spares in my parts bin

 

JMB case set

2824 clone

 

Raffles dial and hands

Not 1:1 accurate and isn’t impressive out of the box but it has a chapter ring and Swiss only markings.

 

I wanted to experiment with some aging techniques and to see if I was able to make it look GILT and somewhat resemble a water damaged glossy dial

 

 

When my lume kit arrives I may add an exclamation point at 6

 

Using a combination of air brush paints and a semi gloss clear coat finish. I aged the hand lume to match

 

 

I achieved some decent results that I am happy with.

 

Assembly and here we have it

 

 

 

Thanks for looking

There are a number of ways to do this build. None of them simple Probably the easiest method would be to start off with a base 6541. Remove the rotating bezel Ans mod the case to fit a smooth bezel that also has been modified. This will require some machine work

Yup  I go on there for the laughs as well.

 

My favorite is when someone buys a watch and then asks " what does everyone think?"

 

its too late now dude  you bought it and if it was a total franken junker  hes gone and you never gonna see him again..

 

ask BEFORE you buy   

 

The vintage rolex marketplace is a minefield and those that dont know will get fleeced! 

 

I found that being interested and building reps , you learn soo much more about the details of the watch and what to look for because we OBSESS over the details.  

I developed OCD because of this damn hobby lol 

Wow! This is absolutely beautiful! A 1675 is top on my wish list.

On jubilee. Don’t remember if I posted this pic here.

The new one will be an improvement. If that is a gen insert it is from a 16750 I am still a bit rusty on IDing inserts

 

I buy my rep inserts onl eBay and age them myself.

 

I could help you out with that If you need one and have a specific fade in mind.

 

A selection of a couple of my favourites

 

 

Sky blue / cherry red. Denim / salmon and Sky blue and light rose

I think I may have found the watch on IG that was the inspiration of your dial.

AFAIK this is gen with natural patina.
