I'm wanting to get a Tudor Sub built with mostly genuine parts. Any recommendations on builders who might be interested?

The guy who built mine stopped building unfortunately. I have changed the dial to a Phong dial, added a genuine seconds hand and a Phong extendable bracelet (93150) and some custom bezel inserts, lovely faded blue and green. I don't wear it as often and am considering purchasing a genuine one. If the offer is right I'd sell mine if you're interested

Nothing to elaborate on really. Go back to the previous 2 images of the rep and gen earlier in the post. Take a look at the center hub of the second hand. Do you see the difference? 

 

I believe all case backs were engraved with 9411 on the inside. For both the 9411/0 (date) and 9401/0 (no date). If that's the case (excuse the pun) your case engraving is incorrect. Check out this site for gen-reference:

Thanks!

Hmm I'd better look for a gen spec caseback, but not sure if it'll fit on my case. You advice to go for the yuki right? What do you think about the engravings on the outside of the caseback?

Can't see your attachment. However, if it's a gen spec mid-case, and you're after a case back. You'd get a better deal and service from Yuki rather than MQ. Here's Yuki's offer:

Thanks, I tried again here, I'll definitely take a look on their website. But first I'll look for another second hand. Could you elaborate any further in where the tell is on this second hand? 

Sadly I don't really have a source for the case, what do you think about the caseback engravings?

The reason why I choose an MQ case was primarily due to the gen spec case back. I haven’t seen a budget 94010 rep with a correct one. The 94010 case back treading/diameter isn’t the same as the 5513.

Do you think an MQ caseback will fit on this particular case? The current engravings on the inside are really bad though
