I assume the Tudor is a VN case and bezel? What’s the Rolex case and bezel? Doesn’t look like my Silix, but also doesn’t look like the Tudor case either? Lovely collection :cool:
The rolex is a silix case with extra metal laser welded on the lugs and then re shaped and a bit of thinning of the bezel.
The crown is a mystery one, its pretty old, not athaya or stock silix either, maybe one of the Vietnam sellers.
The tudor is Vietnam with 390 movement and home made dial

:clap_1: Great builds...that VN case is beautiful, as is the dial. Kudos for going the extra mile with the laser welding!

The last photo is a comparison of the original look I want to mimick from a photo in rolex passport - which I " believe" they are real, cos I am not sure.
