Super job on your 9411 Jim! Dial looks gen. Can you give us the build recipe?

Super job on your 9411 Jim! Dial looks gen. Can you give us the build recipe?

Thank you! A generous helping of gen parts sweetens this recipie.

Gen dial
gen hour hand (the gen seconds hand pinion did not fit so I'm looking into that)
NOS silver with black serif numerals date wheel (good luck finding one of those!)
gen Tudor 2784
MQ case (shaped using my gen as a model)
MQ crown
Alan's 702 crown tube
crystal might be MQ too- it was in the box of parts...
gen early 93150 links on a later gen clasp
gen 501b end links
gen or WO990 spring bars (not sure which)
clark insert I think. It's crap.
Bezel ring might be WO990 but I don't think so.

Did i miss anything?

Thank you Jim it is very similar to my 9411. Mine also has a pile of gen parts but Phong case and Clark bezel and crystal. A gen 125 will be next and I am working on a later model case for mine to bring it more in line with a mid 70's build. Funny how once you have had this blue dial they are easy to spot. Too bad they have such paint issues. I see yours has the bubbles. Mine has lost paint around 12;00. Here is a pic of mine.

And this is the dial uncased.

That looks good. Like my blisters, the flaking paint adds legitimacy to the build.

Are those gen hands on yours? If not, where are they from? The seconds hand looks good...

Jim its a mash up of onlinestorehk and Yuki. Here is the listing for the onlinestorehk set which has one of the best second hands out there. Nice long tail just about reaches the top of the DR text. Best I recall I used the hour from the yuki and the min and seconds for olshk. The ageing is my expresso special! Turned out fairly convincing. Onlinestorehk also has the big ball seconds hands for our vintage rose builds...

Wow, my hat's off to you sir, that's quite a tasty dish you've concocted. Special praise indeed for the date wheel, such a crucial and commonly overlooked detail for pinpoint period correctness. Get a nice insert and rock that thing tough! I recently grabbed an aftermarket Ghost insert off eBay that would look great on that watch. The seller's from the UK. [emoji41][emoji106]

great info thank you! I hope together the gen hand to fit but this is a good option.

Free tip: add a LOT of sugar to your expresso. Then as it dries and the sugar recrystalizes it looks like corrosion. That's my trick usually but not this time.

I've seen those inserts. I don't like them. Not that the one I have is any good... Yuki has a decent blue one I'll probably get unless I find a gen one. I have a couple gen pearls left to put it over the top.

 

[J!m1]

Nce insert! Where is that from?

 

[Hugop]

[MENTION=84615]J!m1[/MENTION] that one is from a jkf 1680 and has been bleached and rubbed in 5min intervals until this. Another I had turned Tudor blue/black and is on my 5514 currently. Although I am in the process of reassembling my 9411 the week after a new case change. It may end up there.
I will post it up later.

the font looks a bit bold for a 1680, but great for something older... Like '65-'68 time frame.

Id hate to buy an entire watch for an insert but...

Here you go Jim I have another that was on my jkf vintage Tudor that just arrived. I will age it today and see if it is a consistant result that these turn this color...
