Hi there,
I will do a 9411 build that is planned now!
Any ideas are welcome because I never tackled Tudor builds up until now.
My initial parts are a:
- 16613/16808 gen insert
- a 9411 dial from Vietnam/eBay
I need to buy all the rest and would appreciate any hints or tips for the parts.
And my idea is to begin with :
-JKF cartel snowflake watch
-a bezel that fits or a complete bezel?
-i don't need bracelet as it will live on a marine nationale strap or leather strap.
I really don't know if it's a good idea to go with the R factory bezel insert because the font is different, but still it looks lovely with serifs and a deep blue color.
But in the end I am hoping it will look fine because the dial is awesome in my opinion, especially considering the price (80$)
Any idea about the DW? Or any pieces that I forgot in my planning?
Any tips are welcome to improve this build
I didn't have enough courage to go full swiss ETA and gen parts though, so please keep that in mind.
I didn't come across that info yet but have found several 16613 inserts that really look like silver fonts instead of gold fonts. So in my mind it looks like a brilliant idea for a blue Tudor build! Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance guys!
