the wierdest thing about their site is that it gets you to checkout but that does not wor, and it tells you that an email was sent to admin...and then you wait...
That's how it works on Raffles Dials. You load up your Shopping Basket and then shoot that to Ken and he will then make contact with you for payment and shipping.
His way of going under the radar . . .go with it. It works and he's 100% reliable.
I had to cancel my order with Rafflesthe explorer case with acrylic only takes 2824
oh well I will do a JFK 5513 to put in practice what I have learned and think about what i will do with the 2836
What movement are you intending to put in?

I had the 2836 from the JKF that i reset the keyless works. Not much of an issue, I will find something for it. at worse, it will become my practice movement
Back to my Explorer project, haven't touched the watch bc of busy times. But can you guys advice/give feedback on the following? I'm trying to replicate this watch exactly: https://amsterdamvintagewatches.com/shop/rolex-explorer-6350-honeycomb/
What I have currently:
Things I need to buy/do:
Thanks!
What I have currently:
- Raffles case with acrylic crystal
- Raffles honeycomb dial
- Raffles hands
- Vietnam bracelet with 80 endlink
Things I need to buy/do:
- Age the case, bracelet, hands and dial
- Change the shape of the lugs (planning to do with diamond files)
- Buy a new crown, this one from Raffles?
- Change the endlinks or are these the correct ones?
- Change bezel and crystal? If so, which ones would you recommend?
Thanks!
Why don't you grab this one and convert it over to acrylic?
Can’t comment on the end links being correct but I would say choose your final end links prior to shaping the case.
If you test fit / remove them throughout the process they provide a good reference point for getting the lugs symmetrical and you can shape the case so you have a good consistent fit between the case and end links

can you do that? I thought the case was different.Why don't you grab this one and convert it over to acrylic?
That I couldn't say about the 2836 case - others around here can no doubt.
I ordered the 2824 Sapphire Glass case and now have a T21 Tropic fitted with not much trouble.
thanks
a 2824 is cheap, no worries
and I might also go NH38
I need to do a bit more formal homework before I order again.
