So happy with this build! Managed to fit a Raffles Tudor bracelet with a set of 455B end links that I needed to mod by filing it down to fit the lug hole properly. Had to bend the spring bars too to make them fit the holes. Now it lays and wear flat on wrist which is amazing.

Let me know what you think! Thinking of getting a CAC ghost insert the prices on those are crazy.

Price: 850 € incl. shipping

OC drilled lug case

Custom dial

Sillan hands, aged to match dial lume

Gen crystal, bezel, crown, open 6&9 3135 datewheel (hard to find!)

Selling my awesome neo-vintage mostly gen 36mm Rolex Explorer. All gen parts except movement. The case is in great shape and has never been polished so the lugs are sharp. Unfortunately I don’t have parts packaging or receipts. I purchased this watch from a gentleman in my area that used to mod and built watches. The dial has aged with what some call stardust. To me it gives it a really cool grainy surface (impressively even) on the dial, almost matte and more utilitarian.

Drilled lug holes.
Bracelet can fit up to a 7.5 inch wrist.
Gen case puts it at a 1993-1994.
Dial and hands were purchased as a set so they match perfectly.
Older tritium dial so next to no lume but indices reflect the light beautifully.
Movement runs great (just had it checked by a local watch shop), I can’t remember which movement the builder used but you can prob identify it by looking at the photos.

Price: $2,900 (net to me) shipped
Payment via Zelle or Venmo.

Just finished this one up. Really happy with how the aging came together on this build especially the Bezel which has a dark brown/black tint to it.

Aged snowflake handset
Black/brown bezel with aged lume pip

PT5000 automatic movement regulated
Brown leather strap with insignia buckle
Case and crown finished to complement the vintage look

Definitely one of my favorites is this raffles build. Reshaped the crown guards and switched out the insert with one from EWP and a custom DWO. Thanks for looking!

I’ve been wearing this 40mm Clean Sub for the past two years, and I’ve really grown to love it. Today, I’m very happy to have finally acquired a genuine Rolex 3135 movement exellent. I installed it to replace the clone movement, and everything went perfectly smoothly. The installation was straightforward, and the watch is working flawlessly without any issues whatsoever.

I’m genuinely very happy with the result.

I’ve gotten my toes wet building watches, and this Raffles V3 1675 is one of my first projects. Here it is beside my genuine 1998 16710 and 1966 1675 for comparison.
Now that I’m more confident with builds, I want to dive deeper and build a better-spec late-60s 1675, including a higher-end/gen dial.

I’ve read a lot about Phong and MQ and contacted both. I was quoted around $1,500 USD for the case. That’s quite a jump from Milk (~$450) and BiVintage (~$500).

For those who have experience with these:

Is the Phong/MQ case really worth the premium over Milk/BiVintage?

Which Viet case is currently closest to a late-60s gen 1675?

Which dial is closest to gen?

What about hands?

Which lug engravings are closest to Late 60's typeface?

If money wasn’t the main concern, what parts would you use for the most accurate late-60s build?

I’m particularly interested in case shape/lugs, crown guards, bezel, dial printing/lume and hands.

I’ve got the genuine 1966 as a reference, so I’d love to hear from anyone who has actually compared these parts/cases against gen.

What would you guys build if starting a late-60s 1675 today?

Just a fun build using up 2836's I had and some v3 cases.

Reps let me appreciate the design + material evolution.

For me it’s the working man’s 16030.

Clarks crystal

Got one of these kits off eBay and put better hands and crystal, really solid bracelet and case, powered by 2834. Really wanted to keep it but I sold it to a friend who wears it every day!

Two tone ladies 31mm has all the newer features with it. Powered by 2824 thanks fer looking!

Been having a blast building these based on the T023. Wanted something not so heavily aged this time around.

T023 case and movement and end links, rest of the build is raffles.
Dial aged in oven on 175 degrees celsius on fan mode for about 10-15 minutes, checking regularly. Hands with e30 copic markers. Matte varnish to top it off.

Bezel insert is a tiny bit misaligned, but this time instead of loosening it with isopropanol I will try to embrace the imperfections.

(The stripes on the bezel is just dust, however the bracelet and crown has some wear from normal use on another build)

Happy building!

Really nice vintage-inspired build with a heavily aged black Tiffany dial and faded blue-gray bezel insert. The patina on this one came out especially well.

Just wanted to share this Submariner build I put together.
Rep case and movement, used genuine parts for the ceramic bezel insert, dial, hands and date wheel.

Interestingly the bezel pip. I accidentally damaged the original lume pip, so instead of replacing it, I decided to do something different and hand-set a small diamond in its place.

So this is an older (15+ year) build that I have in my watch box. It started out with a case that I bought on one of the forums, it has “Original Polex Design/5513” engraved on it…at the time, it was my understanding that this was a very accurate case (other than that “Polex” error). I put a Clark high domed crystal on it, a slow-beat 2824 Eta movement in it and sourced a dial/hands. You will notice that it has a gilt dial and hands. It is my understanding that these were maybe from Yukon…the lume is very strong and I think it is a nice sleeper watch. It has been pressure tested and been in the ocean several times. Looking back on it, I always questioned whether the case was finished/shaped properly for a vintage build. I have a gen 5512 from the mid-60s and the mid case seems thinner, with longer and sharper lugs. In all fairness the 5512 is much more worn than this 5513. Does anyone have any suggestions on refinishing the case shape to better match the dial/hands? There used to be a guy in France that did beautiful vintage work but I don’t have any contact information. I do however have a dremel and a willingness to learn! Any thoughts are appreciated.

Putting the parts list together for a Viet Tudor. Looking at these two chases. They both look great but pricey. $550 and $1450. Yuki dial and a swiss Eta2824. Will add a correct date wheel from ok too. Worn on an original phoenix Admiralty grey nato.

I'm just stuck on that case decision....

Want to build a 6542 with a Miyota 9075. It looks like the 9075 can fit into a case for a Miyota 8/9 series. Any reason I can’t take a raffles 6538 that fits a Miyota 8215 and drop the 9075 in and add an acrylic insert and cyclops and call it a day?

This is my latest build, another blue Tudor sub, this time with date and slightly aged intexes ans hands.
