dutchguy2 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 First own comments: - case back, grrr dificult to get. Ordered Ken's but believe it won't fit. - date mag a bit too much. - date font? What do you think? 1
droptopman Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 No Tudor expert but date does look large. Love the color of the dial and insert. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.
Uberscreamer Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Agree, mag is a bit too much, but overall it's a very impressive build. Solid looking blue Snowflake there!
sgtguk Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Gotta love a bit of Tudor porn J I'd say the date is over mag, case looks good imo though def needs the caseback sorting, why don't you ask Jmb to engrave the one you have? Patina looks really good btw mate Mine says hi... incase your wondering Yuki all the way, plus gen insert
dutchguy2 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Posted February 21, 2015 Wow, yours is beautiful too S. Only those hands, typical Yuki, they are too long. But hear me, nag nag nag, sorry for that. It is perect S. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
mstan83 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Looks a nice build mate. Where did you get the insert for it ? Did it come with the pearl? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
dutchguy2 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Posted February 21, 2015 It is a yuki insert, polished to make it a bit lighter in color. I think I used an old pearl I had in my drawer from a cartel 5513 sub. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
dutchguy2 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Posted February 21, 2015 Haha, me was stupid LOL. I installed a 127 instead of an 125! Corrected now. But.....I need a better date wheel. Grrr..... any one suggestion for a correct one? Yuki?

I think I used an old pearl I had in my drawer from a cartel 5513 sub. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD I'm in two minds whether to age my insert, love the look of yours, or leave it. Definitely have to get a new acrylic pearl for it though. Did you find the raffles time caseback didn't fit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
dutchguy2 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Posted February 21, 2015 Love your hands. Go for a Yuki insert, much better tha yours. As for a pearl, you can buy one from Yuki too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
marrickvilleboy Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 125 is the right tropic. Looks nice btw - the blue is always hard to achieve right and I think only yuki gets the blue right. Is the dial also yuki? Is so, you may have used a 2824 so the eta date font should be right. I built mine off a 2783 movement as I got a genuine dial - love mine and probably won't sell it !
ronin007 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 i got the raffles casebook and it woulndt fit,jmb said he can do them,lovely watch you have built ,heres mine 1
dutchguy2 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Posted February 22, 2015 Put in a different date wheel. Together with the correct 125 it looks good to me now.
jelliottz Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Looks great! Excellent work. The new date wheel and t125 really complete it. JMB can do the case backs, and they look great! Sent via my mobile
Bc1221 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 some beauties here. LOVE the blue no date.
ferristara Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 really awesome builts I´ll show you mine very soon.......
swift7777 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Love Tudor flakes, just picked up a PVirus dial for my 9041/0 to replace the overly blue Helenarou dial, need to source a black insert and bleach it to dark blue for the perfect combo.
KMAC Posted November 12, 2015 Report Posted November 12, 2015 i got the raffles casebook and it woulndt fit,jmb said he can do them,lovely watch you have built ,heres mine details please.
ronin007 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Posted November 12, 2015 This was a cartel case with yuki dial,hands and a wso insert, sorry thought you meant this one
