Alternative to Rafflesdials

Hi,

Unfortunately my rafflesdials package is lost.
Raffles send the packages unregistered and eventhough contacting with seller/shipping company there is no sign for a long time.

I got the full refund and ask him if I can place the same order again and sadly he said we can't do anymore business until I find the lost package.

So, the question is, is there any alternatives to raffles that I can source Tudor Prince case set/dials?

How long since it was shipped?
I have waited for a month sometimes for raffledials deliveries.

Order another one using another name? Have you tried Ruby?

Yeah, prolly I will use another name & address if I can't find any other alternative. I couldn't find any Tudor Prince component at Ruby, sent an email however but didn't get any answer yet.

Have you looked up on Ali? I see some 36 Tudor Prince date day cases for $50 with sapphire xtal.

It comes with everything, even a cut stem. You just need to slot in the 2834-2 movement, be it a clone or an ETA. There is a $30 version but with plexi instead of sapphire.
I swapped the dial for a raffles because I like the sunburst better and the one it comes has a flaw, it says "Prince Oyster / Date-Day" when it should be a single line with "Prince Day Date". I also got a Tudor Day wheel because the Tudor one is a bit different.

And I believe it is the same case as the raffles because the Datejust version has the same flaw, with "Switzerladn" engraved in the caseback.

You made my day! I've got a swiss ETA 2834-2 and day wheel disturbing me a lot. ewatchparts selling one that looks 1:1 to gen but he's located in US and shipping cost is doubles the day wheel itself :)

Wow, thank you this is a great deal! The Tudor bracelet alone costs $50 from Raffles. Any chance you have the link for the Plexi version?

Yeah bummer about that Tudor dial here, but I won't be using it for a personal build anyways. The Oyster Prince / Date-Day should be for the Plexi models while the Prince Day Date is for the sapphire version.

Cool case. Can anyone recommend an Ali movement for the Tudor case?
