what2 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 not looking for 100% accuracy, just a decent snowflake I can wear without fear, what are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 theres plenty wrong with it. does it even accept a gen dial? i wouldnt consider the PT as a modders delight, if youre serious pay the extra and start with a good base. tudors are also a tough call since the gen is cheaper than most members rolex frankens.

TeeJay Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I've used 1517 and 1513 cases for Tudor projects, and always been happy with the results Depends if you're going for 100% replication, or just a personalized representation of the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what2 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 looking for a basic vintage sub style case to put a repro snowflake dial and hand set that I found, I am not overly worried about absolute accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sly Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I think the MBW 5513 case will work for this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Is the Tudor sub dial the same diameter as the rolex 1680 dial? If so then it should work in the PT sub case. Gen dial fit in my PT case... its close, but it will work. How about the DW case set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcotter Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I built a snowflake quite successfully w/ a rep 1680. however the Tudor gen sub dial is 26mm, a bit smaller than the rep dial & may not work. The solution in my case : I had the rep dial re-done beautifully into a blue snowflake.I also had the datewheel redone in red . The hands were an odd sizeyet Jay at motorcity watchworks had them. The rep bracelet w/ Tudor id came from JMB.. It turned out very well..Side by side w/ my gens it's not perceptable....A fun inexpensive project..Regards, mcotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 the Tudor sub dial weighs in at 26mm and so does this 1680. if this is truly the case then it does indeed fit the MBK 5513 case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what2 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I've got a 1680 case coming from a forumer, and bought this yesterday to serve as my guide... lets see what happens next, just hoping the whole thing does not end up in a ziplock bag in my watch box along with other "bright idea" projects.

what2 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 keep in touch, once I build the rep I will probably flip it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-rock Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I seem to recall comming close to purchasing a "Tudor Kit" 9411/0 and the case was going to be the 1680 from josh. The deal never went through as it seems it was sent to The Zigmeister and the seller later told me it wasn't built due to parts not fitting correctly. I'm not exactly certain what didn't fit but I am certain the build intended was with the 1680 from Josh. Since then I've realized that the case back wouldn't be right as the Tudor has an engraved case back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what2 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 a great forumer donated a 1680 rep case to the cause, and I have my gen snowflake to compare... while there are subtle differences all around the biggest difference is in fact the caseback, other than that the cases are very close in size and shape. The contrasts are not to the point of killing the project since all I really am after is a snowflake looking watch that I can get wet. I'll take some comparison pictures once the sun comes fully up out here in seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-rock Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I'd LOVE a Blue SnowFlake 9411/0 Tudor IF there was a way to put the same unidirectional 120 click bezel that the 16610's have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 @What2 Did you ever take the comparison pictures? Also, have you tried fitting the case backs to see how different these backs are? E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
