Helenarou 5513 case set? Has anyone used this one? (See link)

[DR3M3L]

Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy this case and put a Yuki dial on a Swiss ETA. Has anyone used this? I have the 6538 case and it seems "OK" in my eyes. Does anyone know if the bezel is gen spec (because the 6538 isn't). Any screaming issues with this one? Obstacles to a build?

Thank in advance for any input!!!

I just purchased the blue snowflake version of this case, along with dial from RH. They say it's made 1:1 from gen and that all gen Tudor/Rolex parts will fit in/on it. It's incoming as I ordered it on Saturday but will post pix once my snowflake is done. Good luck.

Great - if it's not too much trouble and you can remember - please PM me on arrival. I'd really appreciate the input!

No problem.

Just ordered one of those myself. I know from another modder that a gen crown will fit the tube and the included bezel is not gen spec.

Hi,

I have one of those and ordered the "branded" crown and blue snowflake "branded" dial from HR. They aren't bad. I'm happy with it overall. The bezel is not gen spec and is probably the worst part (crown guards aren't great either). There are a couple of good threads on the Homage forum site with lots of pics and discussion about replacing the crystal and bezel.

Yep. I've only seen the pix but the dial looks pretty nice. HelenRou has the hands, case and dial... all branded for a Snowflake or vintage Sub project. As I'm a noob to this project, i'm sure there are mods you can have done to the case, bezel and insert. But at this point I just want a blue, base snowflake and my social circles don't include anal-retentive Rolex know-it-alls, so FWIW, I'll be happy with it as is.

For now.
