Well you wouldn't want to use 116610 case. Ceramic version and way off. But you can find a case to make it work.

Unless you wanted to make a fantasy modern Tudor sub. I would use a TC case not a 6 digit case

Remember that tudor and rolex date windows do not align. Eta 28xx diameter vs rolex 3135 diameter
Need new date wheel and new crystal.

New crystal for sure but the datewheel is a standard ETA 28XX datewheel. No need for overlays. It centers itself :)

so if I wanted to build a fantasy modern tudor submariner and I want to use a noob 116610LN v6 as my starting point, all I would need would be dial, new crystal?

If you use what ever mvt is in a sub rolie, you surely need a new date wheel for the tudor.
Rolie reps with eta mvt has date wheel overlay, to fit rolie datewheel
Layout.
Be not fooled. :)

what I am saying is, if you buy an ETA rolie rep, to build a tudor, expect to swap date wheel, and crystal. unless you plan to use a standard ETA 28xx mvt, then ofcourse, the date wheel will be correct. Obviously, this mvt won't be from the rolie rep, but will be sourced elsewhere.
ETA mvt's from rolie replicas have overlays, hence my comment. :)

I'm actually about to build the watch in your original post. Dial from helenarou and cartel 1680. I have the dial in hand and the 1680 should be here any day now. I'll post a pic when I'm done.

I don't know if you're talking to me, but just Google Tudor Lollipop or Tudor 76100.

Can we get some more pics??!! Also maybe some specs? Looks great

Quite a simple build actually. It's a cartel 1680 with clone 2836, dial from helenarou, and a generic 2836 date disc (the one that comes with the cartel is skewed left to match the subs date window, Tudors used ETA movements to begin with)
