After added gen 5513 insert and rolex clasp , I am thinking to replace the t-25 rose dial for my watch



Tudor dial with T-25 is a big flaw so I decide to change to one of the below dials ( are they good? or any suggestion )

but The problem is they all only fit for A 390 movement and then I start looking for A 390 and found it in ebay which cost around USD 641 ( is it fair?)


Given that my current movement is gen tudor 2824-2
My concern is if my case also fit for A390 movement .

Hope member here can give me some advices on the movement and also the choose of tudor dial

Just found above dial from Phong which costs USD 450

When compared with those MQ dials, Phong 's rose looks more detail

Ruby has these and some others and price wise about $200 less than phong

You just need to remove the dial feet and then just fix it in place with dial dots which is what I did with this one.
I'm pretty sure a 390 movement won't fit in that case but all the Vietnam dials will most likely be for 390

Then i forget to buy a 390, just buy a new dial

the rose in yours is like mq one . however . after searched for many gen photos , the gen rose should be similar to phong one

Phongs rose is closer but $450 its alot , in person without macro vision the rose is tiny so its quite hard to notice but its your choice to decide what you can and cant live with

Yes, I really care the rose so I may probably make decision btw blow 2 dials.




Just found an blue snow flake dial that fits 2824 movement,
Maybe I can convert my 7928 to snow flake by simply changing the dial & hands

What do u think?

You can do yes, and a blue insert if you're going with blue, otherwise keep it simple and go with black
The best snowflake hands are tiger concept. My dial is from this guy

Love the chrono but who did that to the cg‘s of the snowflake? Can’t believe phong or does he? :crying:

For what it’s worth I’d stick with the 2824-2 for reliability and serviceability.
Good luck, it’ll be a cool project.

Not sure who did the shaping, the case came from a member on rwg, it was shaped as close to the shape of his gen as possible,

OK . I will probably keep the movement and just change the dial
