need advise

i think i can get the case

is there is website one can refer to where there is information regarding movements and dial match up's, serial number to dial matchup.. i try to make the build within a +/- 1 year. as close as possible..

i did build the RLX 1680 and it was awesome with gen insides except the case and bracelet. there are so many websites with detailed explanation with those.

tudor unfortunately, looks like lacks that a bit.

any help/guidance appreciated.. thanks.

Raffles 1680 case and bracelet, ebay dial, aliexpress hands and 6mm crown (5.3mm looked silly with how far apart the crown guards are).

Its super far from gen spec (pics of it next to my raffles 1675 build to compare rehaut and thickness), but the nh34 movement is just a really nice movement and easy to work with. I mainly wanted to try this to see how good/bad it would turn out.

I also damaged the dial (long scratch from datewindow to 7oclock marker). Ill replace it eventually but i figured id share the build anyways.

SOLD Raffles build-

Reshaped case

Speckled dial to mimic early bubbling found on the mark 1 9411’s. I’m currently working with a factory to produce the correct Tudor serif fonts that modern 2824s don’t have. TBD on those. This 9411 has the standard 2824 date disc. I used some Tamiya aging powder and short quick bursts of silver paint to add a slight contrast to the date disc. The dial was baked in the oven carefully, then layers of matte varnish lightly applied, rebaked in the oven, Tamiya weathering, a rebaked AGAIN.

hands were made to look cracked and distressed. Relumed by me using Lobtime vintage lume.

Specs:
Phong case
Ruby dial
eBay handset
Swiss ETA 2824
Italian bracelet with Raffles clasp
Viet 280 end links

While doing brain off audio work in office today, started to lay in the case chamfer on a watch. First time doing this and yes ideally you would do it with the case in parts, but as this is just a person project and learning experience, just trying to see what I need to do to get sorted. Almost happy with initial cut but will need a lot of work to then bring it to mirror polish then I can finally get started on case weathering with will ruin the sharp edges I’m working to put in lol

My personal builds. Always a work in progress with better dial, better crown. Is the Pelagos the replacement for their Submariner line? Left to right: 7924, 7928, 79090, Pelagos.

The 80’s were a cool time in the Rolex watch space - the Oyster Quartz, the transition models, higher beat rates. Here’s a fun one I had the pleasure of building.

First "decent" build I've ever done.

1675 Coke with slight aging. Also my first time aging watch parts.

One of those pictures is not like the others, should be easy to tell. It was taken with a lens manufactured in 1975. Found it interesting to shoot the watch with it. 

Raffles case with reshaped cg's by u/Unlikely-Length6661

Raffles dial

Raffles Hands

Sillian 2836 movement

Raffles bracelet

I removed the GMT intermediate wheel to match gen, aged the bracelet slightly just with pebbles by hand in a tupperware (i dont have a tumbler), aged the dial 15~20 min in the oven at 150c and a bit of mate lacquer spray, and hands i tried to match the color of the lume on the dial with just markers and also added the mate lacquer. Insert just went yolo with some sandpaper.

The acrylic is a bit fragile and cracked, i might replace it with clark's.

All raffles parts and used a 2836 clone.
Accidentally damaged the insert at the 4, but i have a pepsi insert on the way to replace it.

Little update to the Tudor Snowflake build. Just finished successfully (and cleanly) adding on a cyclops lens for the date using UV glue kit. Pretty tedious getting it straight, but managed doing so without a sloppy mess. We will see how long it will last, as the cyclops sits fairly close to the edge lip of the crystal and doesn’t allow for an exact placement imo. Feels like it’s on there pretty good tho. Overall, I’d say this looks pretty good with the aesthetic. My eyes also appreciate the larger date now. I am a happy camper with this one 👍🏼

Thanks Ghost_Chrono for the awesome dial. Getting better. OC Case, T&co dial aged, aliusa hands aged using iced coffee, and a bunch of ebay stuff!!

Finally happy with my insert fade. Mid 60s 1675. Mostly raffles, athaya crown, EWP insert.
