34mm Oyster case for 27mm tudor dial
I recommend you to use raffles Tudor Oyster Prince 2824-2 case set for that dial:
http://rafflesdials.com/tudor-signe...zel-and-19mm-lugs-size-fit-eta-2824-movement/

After you get that case set, you will need:
1. 2824-2 movement
2. This? http://rafflesdials.com/one-set-of-...ova-fit-eta-2836-or-2824-for-mens-34mm-watch/

And voila, you get a simple franken

That is probably the same case I use but the major discrepancy is the "late model" Prince Date stamping on the case-back instead of the older "Original Oyster Case..." verbiage that would be proper for the Prince Oysterdate dial.

Sweet dial! Should fit a gen 1500 case no problem.

BTW I researched that dial because there are pretty good fakes of this particular dial.

I was confused because of the missing lume dots and the "swiss" printing but it seems to be this way with tudor vintage dials.

Here a similiar dial I found in a different color:

I learned something new and from my personal assesment the dial you bought is definitely genuine

I was not worried about the dial being fake. The seller i got it from is 1000% legit, making big bucks. He won't tarnish his reputation by selling a cheap fake dial. But ty tho for checking.

Didn't mean to imply that its just that I have seen many builds with yuki or raffles dials in the past were people assumed they were genuine or atleast "refinished"

Your dial has such good printing and a nice linen pattern that I didn't really expect it to be fake, was just curious why it has a different "swiss" branding than datejust and daydate dials.

You learn something new everyday Keep us updated with your build!

It's a Tudor, not a Rolex... Now, if it had T SWISS T at the bottom, and no lume dots, I might be a bit suspicious...

Well.. Thats what I said, I didnt know that there was that distinction before I researched and compared.

Always love to learn new stuff on this board including from you

I completed the watch today. What's the consensus on this guys? I like it a lot but feels too dressy i think. I am jeans/t-shirt guy 99%of time lol

swap a smooth bezel on to it and wear it on a oyster. Dress it down

Op I think I'm ready to do my own first build, did you have any issues with the Install ? I think i may use a raffels dial though as I haven't been able to find a resonably priced dial, and maybe swap one in once i do. What movement did you end up using on your build ?
