Modding a watch to a Tudor Sub

[Noni51]

Hey guys,

I want to replicate this watch(es):

As a starting base I have a Tiger Concept watch:

Now, where can I source the following?

• Tudor blue dial, either type with no date. The size of dial needed is 28mm according to Tiger concept's website
• Domed/ raised crystal
• Lollipop style hands
• Appropriate case-back
• Appropriate crown (Rolex printed)

My plan is to mod the incoming Tiger to the Tudor bits.

Thank you!

Rafflesdials should have most of what you need, but I can't comment on their quality.

Raffles is a good option. For a solid middle of the road dial, Yuki is the way to go:

Noni51 , have you gotten anywhere with this transformation?
I'd like to see the results, if you have. THANKS!

I havent seen any lollipop hands available but I imagine you could cut the mercedes centre joints out of a set of rolex hands and polish out and burrs then relume.

Good luck with the build

Wow great job on this one, love it! I agree that the cheaper Rep bracelets feel a bit dodgy for Jubilees, but honestly the old Gen Jubilees don't t give me much confidence either lol.

Also agree that the cheaper movements such as the 2813 are a bit loud, and it def affects the overall wear experience for sure. But I will say that if you haven't tried the replica bb36, I think you should. In fact, I'd put money that you'd be temped to sell your Gen after to buy something new. The Rep looks to be that good. And the finish is overwhelmingly impressive on the bb replica bracelets (I've got 3 41mm BB's). Aside from a tiny gap in the sel, the bracelets on the replica black bays feel just like the Gen bb36 when I tired it on at the Ad. Check out English Gent write up:

I'm personally trying to save for a bronze model next, as really liked the one in the Ad I tried on!
