candide2424 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 Hello, Great watches. Where did you source your Gen Hands, I have tried ebay but with no success.
TeeJay Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 Jmb just converted my 5512 to Tudor with a gen dial. I don't have it yet...but here's the preview :thumbsupsmileyanim:
jmb Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Here's a sneak-peek. It's not perfect but life-size on the wrist the flaws are not apparent...
Ephry73 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Looks good JMB. What hands did you use for Woof's build? I have a question regarding engraving a 5513 Comex Caseback. E

ubiquitous Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Any updates on this? @Ubi, The cream dial with date, what movement is in it? E Sorry- Only just saw this post... The Tudors I had built were powered by ETA 2783 movements. I picked up several for a whopping $20/per, so I used them in a couple of different projects... MBW case, 2783, gen Tudor Snowflake dial and hands on both... MBW case, 2783, gen Tudor Arrow dial and hands... I've also used the 2783 in some no-date builds that I've given to friends... It's a good, low cost movement...
woof* Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks W! Thank you for getting it here and a great deal! Looks nice in my watch Jmb....that rose dial is hypnotic, my "sometime in the future" was fast! lol
Ephry73 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Sorry- Only just saw this post... The Tudors I had built were powered by ETA 2783 movements. I picked up several for a whopping $20/per, so I used them in a couple of different projects... I have a few of these acquired through eBay and I definitely like them. I recently acquired an ETA 2824-1 and Plan on building a nice Sub with it MBW case, 2783, gen Tudor Snowflake dial and hands on both... I definitely like this! MBW case, 2783, gen Tudor Arrow dial and hands... What is the correct model number for the arrow dial? I am definitely digging this dial as it reminds me of a Seamaster on steroids! Does anyone know where to source? Correct hands for it? I've also used the 2783 in some no-date builds that I've given to friends... It's a good, low cost movement... The 5513 precomex looks delicious. Wait, what dial is in this? Thanks for the great input and prompt replies Ubi. You'da'man E
