Hi vintage fans!

I am building an 9411/0 Tudor snowflake Submariner.

By my research I found many people use tiger concept hands, wso and Vietnam hands.

Which one have the correct shape, length and quality?

Thanks for your help!

Interested in following this thread as I'm looking into a similar project myself!

Where are you at parts-wise for the rest? Case, dial, movement, bracelet, ....?

at the moment I ordered an 5513 milk case and an silver ETA 2784 date wheel.

I want to build an blue snowflake 9411 but didn’t find a decent dial!

For the bracelet I have to decide between oyster or unusual jubilee strap.

Does everyone know where I can buy the correct looking case back?

VN dials come up in M2M on here, I think MQ are meant to be the best. BiVintage on ebay are a good budget offering.

One thing to be aware of, some eBay dials have the wrong spacing on the "Submariner" and "200m=660ft" text. The "2" should start over the "U" not between the "S" and the "U" .

Like this (replacement dial):



Or this (factory dial):



Not like this:

Forgot to add in my post above, Phong also is a source for good dials.

Bivintage might have had their account locked again, happened a few weeks ago.
