brendo22 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I just received this beautiful piece back from my good friend Justasgood and I just wanted to show it off! I so appreciated his help with this project and just saw that he will be receiving a cousin from Ubi, congratulations! So I've been wanting this watch since the first time I saw the tudor snowflake models. As it has been said numerous times, the snowflake dial/hands and tudor name just give the watch that little bump in unique character. And in my personal opinion the dial is much more pleasing to the eye. It originally started out as an MBW 5513 swiss ETA 2836-2 white dial, with some mods, which I then proceeded to convert to a Tudor Snowflake 9401. I just needed to source an appropriate movement, dial/hands, and caseback. I also want to thank my friend Ubi who helped me with answers to questions like what type of movement I needed to source and how compatible everything was to swap into my MBW. The mods are as follows -MBW 5513 Case -Gen Swiss ETA 2783 -Yuki 9401 dial & hands -93150 band / 2mm 580 ends from Puretime -Gen 703 crown/gen tube -Gen T19 (not superdome) -Ubi faded insert w/Ofrei pearl -CGs shaped -2mm lugholes -insert recessed I just need an appropriate caseback which I have a lead on... and a tritium pearl which will be spendy lol. The pics aren't the best and the lume is not as yellow as it looks in the pics. 5513 Before Tudor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnBeever Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Very, very nice. Let down slightly by the pearl, which looks too new and possibly a bit big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
