highoeyazmuhudee Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 UBI seems to have some VERY sexy stuff, one day i'd love to see a collection pic Gavidoc, your blue Tudor IS AMAZING, love at first site!

ubiquitous Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Ehhh... I have a very small collection of watches now. 10 or so in the collection and I think I may try trimming that number down to 8. More than anything, my collection seems to be more top heavy in parts than watches these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin24 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 What are the differences between 2783 and 2784? The yuki parts are designed for the 2784, can I use another more available movement without further modding? Catalin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 2783 and 2784 are physically the same; diameter (11.5L), height/profile (5.35mm), pinion sizes and dial feet position are all the same. The only real difference is the beat rate. 2783 beats at 21,600bph and 2784 beats at 28,800bph. In addition, 2783 is offered in 17, 21 and 25 jewel variations. 2784 is 17 and 25 jewel only...

Great, it seems that the 2783 is easier to source so I might go down that route. Much appreciated info, Ubi. Cheers, Catalin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin24 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Small update: found a good condition ETA2784, but it has the date at 6 o'clock. Can I fit a datewheel that displays the date at 3??? Cheers, Catalin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 A datewheel from a 2783 should work fine. I have several here; if you PM me your mailing address, I'd be more than happy to send one your way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collin24 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Ok, so if Ubi helps me out with the datewheel, all I need now is a blue bezel insert (the seller only has black bezels). So, if anyone has any idea on where to find a good blue insert (original or aftermarket) please let me know. Ah yes, and a pair of springbars too is also sought after Thank you, Catalin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collin24 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) I just bought this: Tudor ETA2784 What do you think? I already have a nos ETA 2784, so what can I use from the Tudor movement except the date-wheel, which was the reason I bid on it in the first place? Should I recondition the TUdor movement with parts from the other movement? Cheers, Catalin Edited May 2, 2010 by Collin24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gplracer Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) I noticed it does not have the tudor stamp on it like the one ubi posted. Now that yuki sells tudor stamped rotors it is easy for someone to sell an eta or eta clone and put a tudor rotor on it. If this is genuine it is a really good price.

aeromatic Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hello guys, I have decided upon a Tudor 9411 project and I'm in need of some information. I plan on buying from www.yukiwatch.com the following parts: 9411 case and crystal (hope they are available), blue dial, hands set and a Tudor rotor. The questions are: - what crown is suitable for this case and where can I buy one? - where can I find an ETA-2784, a silver DW and a blue bezel insert? - where can I find a good watchmaker in the EU to put these together and waterproof the watch? - any chance the project will cost me less than 1000$? I'm sure there are other aspects I haven't thought about so anyone that has some insight please feel free to post your thoughts. Best Regards, Catalin Hi there check out yukiwatch there now have 2824-2 complete movements! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 1) I already sent you a datewheel, gratis at my expense. 2) A roulette wheel is not correct for a 9411. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin24 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) Thanks Ubi, and I really appreciate it, I won't be using the roulette DW then. But can the movement be used? Is it an original Tudor movement? Edited May 2, 2010 by Collin24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 You can definitely use it, though the movement looks just like a standard 2783/2784 with a Tudor rotor and roulette wheel fitted. There is no perlage finish and the plates look rather crude (like a standard ETA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no perlage finish and the plates look rather crude (like a standard ETA). That's too bad, since I already have a standard 2784 in better condition and a Yuki Tudor rotor. At least it wasn't that expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin24 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Well, I cancelled the deal on the ebay. The seeler wasn't sure about authenticity so we agreed to cancel. Should everything go according to plan, I will have the datewheel (thank you again, Ubi), the dial and hands, the crown and the movement. That leaves me looking for a case and a bezel insert. Yuki is fist option at the moment and I was told that a blue insert will be made available in the near future. Thanks, Catalin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Let me know when the datewheel arrives... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavidoc Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Simple check to see if a Tudor movement is a gen is to look on the dial side. It will be stamped with the Tudor mark on the mainplate.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
