My first Franken

[weldergeoff]

Hi everyone, this is my first post here and wanted to show my Tudor build. Comments and feedback welcome. 
case, Rafflesdials

bracelet, Rafflesdials

hands, Rafflesdials

dial, genuine Tudor ( linen )

Movement, genuine 2824 ( couldn’t find a genuine Tudor version )

By the way I know that the hands are a bit too short but they will be replaced when I find some genuine hands to use.

Nice looking  build 👍

Overall, looks great, especially for a 1st build!

However, I am wondering if you have the correct crystal? It could be due to the angle of the watch in the pic, but it looks like the cyclops is not centered over the date window.

Very nice work! I would go with no cyclops as it shows off a very nice dial and really not needed.

Hi, thanks for the feedback, the cyclops is centered ok it’s just the angle of the photo that makes it look a little off.

Hi, thanks for the feedback, I agree that it would probably look better without the cyclops (  I’m not really a fan of them myself  ) but I wanted to keep it as close to the original watch as I could so that’s why I went with it.
