Oh sorry, this sub is a 114060 with aneta 2836. I don't think the case will take. Gen or clone 3135 because the stem height will be off

Thanks for the reply. I got one from another form. I'd be interested to see if the case will take a gen Dial. As soon as I get it I'm going to measure and see

I have seen a jkf no date sub. Does anyone know about this factory?

Thanks!

this is the markings on the clasp

Does anyone know what factory made this sub? 

yes, I had to give them my NAWCC number

I joined NAWCC. It was $80 a year and they have some pretty cool stuff like a museum. 

I'm looking to purchase a star time Rolex case. I registered as a new user but I don't have a business so I can't make a purchase. Does anyone know how I can buy one?

I have a Helenrou 5513 case (https://www.helenarou.com/5513-submariner-retro-vintage-diving-watch-with-swiss-eta551328242.html) Does anyone know if and what model Gen. crown will fit this case?

Thanks

For 40 I think it's a good buy.  My guess is that it's a dg2808  gmt movement.  The case has drilled lugs witch is nice. If you want a watch that is going to be a good hi quality rep. Then this is not the watch. I bought a rep. For $40 and turned it into something I really liked. Here is a pic. Before and after 

Will a eta 2824 fit in a 1570 case with a case ring? Is that what you would use as a replacement?

The hands fit because the gmt movement is based off the 3135. But the dails will not fit. The gmt is a larger dail. The datejust and explorer use the same size dail

 That's a very nice watch by the way.  I had this problem too with a build I did a while back. The movement is too tight against the dial causing the date wheel to bind. You have to remove the hands, dail and add the small spacer ring. It also could be that the case screws are too tight. 

I have a 15000 case that takes a 3035 and the eta 2836 is too thick to fit. You need to use a 2824 . I'm 100% sure. I read the same info as posted here and the 2836 will not fit in a rolex 3035 case.

The other option is to get a 15200 case and use the yuki 3135 movement. No issues with Dwo and the yuki 3135 will take a gen dail.

Nice project ... one I would add to my Air-King collection in the future

 

My 5500 says hello

 

Did you remake this dail? I thought I saw it somewhere. If so can you post the link

I tried the oven method to age the hands but really didn't like the outcome. They are not perfect put I'm happy. 

Here is my first try at aging. 

I'm nervous about aging the hands. I might see if I can find some pre-aged hands  

Hello,

I started this Tudor ranger build using all the design elements that I like. I wanted something in 34mm because its small and comfortable to wear. 

Gen Rolex 15000 case

Yuki dial

Eta 2824 clone

Generic snowflake hands

Yuki Bracelet 

Removing the cyclops from the crystal

Disclaimer: I know that Tudor never made a red Ranger with snowflake hand...etc. 

I like vintage watches and just a child when my datejust was made. For me it's no nostalgia its preference.  I think any one that wear a watch had to be a little nostalgic.  The price for some rolex models has kept up with inflation and other are just WAY over priced 

This is interesting the had the same issue with a yuki 3135. I replaced the winding works with gen parts, but I don't think you can do that with the SA3135 Is the SA3135 a decorated eta2836? 

I really like the look. A bonus would be the new blackbay gmt on a jubilee. 

I wanted to do a blackbay GMT mod. 

Will a eta 2836 fit in a 1575 or 1570 case?

Looks awesome. Where do you buy a Vietnam case? I'm looking to do a 1675 build.
