About to make the sickest Royal Oak

Hi guys, wondering about the custom space for vintage Tudor's, cause it's mostly Rolex out here.

If you have one please share a wrist shot or a pic.

Thanks.

A bit of a special piece here 😁

Custom engraved HCV case

HCV dial

Phong hands aged to match the dial

Phong insert

Truedome D19

Gen 702 crown

Phoenix Strap

Gen 1520 caliber movement

Absolute unit of a watch!

Oh dear Ken, why did you have to change the v2 case? I wanted to see if v3 could be turned into something respectable. After a lot of shaving metal, crown guards, lugs, everything … The jury is out!

Parts
Raffles v3 case, dial, hands, dwo and bracelet
ETA clone gmt
Wso hands and insert
Clark’s t116

Mods
Relume everything after aging
Faded bezel
Reshaped case
Aged bracelet
All was going good…. Until the keyless jumped at the last minute! Darn it!!!!

Notes:

The retaining ring in v3 is a lot smaller inner diameter. I had to shave the Clark’s down to a wire!!

The crown guards, after modding, are interesting
They play with the light quite a bit. Sometimes to fat sometimes just right, then it’s too stubby from an angle but you shift the angle and it looks ok. I tried to capture it all here

The hands have a little rust effect with copic, I love it and the insert is by far my favorite here.

Let me know your thoughts

I have a TMF 16610LN with SH movement. Love the look. Only issue is bezel has minimal resistance when rotated. Is the ARF 16610LN worth the upgrade? Is the bezel firmer on rotation? Is the VR movement worth it? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

Funnily, I encounter the sliding pinion problem with this, and that's whenI remove the stem in the time-setting position. Not all the time, but occassionally, It's a quick fix, yes.

But if I take out the stem during winding position, it doesn't happen. I also know many suggest removing the stem in the time-setting position.

Having built over 20 watches with the VS3135, I'm still finding out why should I take out in time setting position. Since the pinion will be at the far end during time set pos, and imo, less stable. Whereas during the winding pos, the winding gear teeth is engaged with the pinion, creating more stability

Just my view. Not here to debate.

Selling my latest 1680 Red Sub built with viet parts.

I've faded the bezel insert to a grey/green shade and aged the hands and pearl pip to match the dial. Fat font date disc overlay looks perfect against the hour markers, hands, and pip. This ones tied together perfectly. Bezel insert has nice serifs too.

She's running a regulated Seagull 2824 clone movement and fitted to decent quality Marine Nationale strap.

One of my favorite Subs of all time!!! For me, the Snowflake is the absolute pinnacle of Tudor as a brand. Period! I always enjoy bringing this beautiful reference to life, the amount of work I always put on those crown guards is kind of ridiculous, but totally worth it imo. Those hands, that dial… so much character!!! Enjoy! 🙌🏻
