I have a 2776 , Tudor rotor & dial lying around and I'm wanting to fit these to a reasonably accurate case. What's the advice from those who have done similar? Is there a 9401 style case that will fit the 2776?

Go with Phong. The 9401 case set I bought from MQ was disappointing for the price. I ended up replacing the bezel assembly (WSO), crown and tube (Athaya) and crystal (SK). The mid-case needed reshaping and the lugs drilling. Even the rehaut was wokky. MQ is also a pain to deal with.
Here’s the result. Bezel insert from Phong. Viet dial off ebay. Hands and dial re-lumed.

Another option is to use one of Milk's 5513 cases, much cheaper than a Vietnam and almost gen spec. The only thing as with all his cases is that they're blank, so you won't have the lug engravings, but this does't matter if you use it with a metal bracelet
Give me a shout if you need advice on this and here is Milk's user name.

Is that a Tudor buckle good sir?
Also, how are you getting on with the Athaya crowns lately? Every second one I picked up had a faulty clutch and the quality of the stamp is a bit silly - the dots are almost non existent. The worst part is that Adrian ignores all emails regarding these issues. Think I'll be looking elsewhere for any future builds.
