Watch is with Phillip Ridley. I will post pics when it is done.

Just bought them. I saw these before starting this thread but I was told they would not work with my movement. Now I need a bezel and an insert.

Wow! Thanks for running it down for me. Any contact info / links you could give me to help with the quest would be great. It has been difficult for me as a watch neophyte to know where to find the pieces, tell if they are decent quality and figure out if they fit. Then comes the maybe even harder part of finding / trusting someone to help put it all together. I appreciate your time and knowledge and any help you can provide. 

It is funny you mentioned British cars. This is something that I am very versed in. I can assure you that the Rolex movement is much less finicky than this British movement.

I apologize for my ignorance but I am not a watch enthusiast but I have been researching online to educate myself. I inherited a 1953 submariner 6204 that is in rough shape. It is missing the bezel, hour and second hands are incorrect and the dial was horribly relumed at some point.  I am trying to get advice on how to go about making it whole again. What I have found out from enthusiasts on Rolex forums is that this was a one year model and because of this parts are impossible to find and if you do find them they are crazy $. During my searching I stumbled across the incredible reproductions. I want the watch to look original and hopefully can locate correct rep parts that will fit my case and movement. Does anyone have any advice or direction for me. Thanks in advance.
