Mike_G Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm almost finished with my 1016 Explorer build and think I want to do a Tudor 7928. I think I'm going to start with a Cartel 5513. I figure I'll go with the cheaper version with the 2813 movement for $148. I have a Seagull TY2100 (2836) that I can use. My thought is to use a dial from Yuki ot ND Trading. My question is which gen parts to use and where to have any case mods done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_G Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 What gen parts are typically used for a 5513 / 7928 build? Any tips on what case mods are needed and who does them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovesOldsWacthes Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Choose the dial you prefer, i found personally the MQ dial the best. The new cartel case are finally good enough for the new long cg's, you just need a bit of moddding in terms of reshape, drill lug holes, replace plexy whit gen t19 or gen spec, gen 703 long crown and gen or gen spec tube, fat springbars and caseback and case engraving by Jmb or Neckyzips. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle1 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have one I'm building right now. Sadly it's with the old cartel case with short crown guards. The case has been engraved between the lugs by JMB and the lugs drilled to gen spec. The Caseback is currently being engraved by JMB as we speak. It also has a gen spec Athaya 700 crown and tube fitted. I also have a big dazz relumed hands and Helenarou dial and on his return from his trip have ordered a new bezel insert from him too. As for the crystal, I went for a Sternkreuz Rolex No.19 ) Sternkreuz XS305.451. I bought the watch with an Asian 2836 -2 but given time would like to replace it with a low beat.
