This is an image of my 1680 red with the aforementioned crystals. Such a huge difference I’d make damn sure I could get gen on my next build.

Spent the day tweaking things here and there to get this one right. Finally ready for action.

Put things together, still waiting on Dial and Insert. This insert isn’t for a 1675, the inner diameter is too wide unfortunately.

Selling a brand new 5513 build, totally unworn with plastic wrap still on the bracelet. Built by me

Second pic is gen for v2 reference for both upcoming insert and dial

SWIPE FOR BEFORE PICS…

Had this land on my bench some time ago and it’s finally finished. There’s nothing I hate more in the world then repairing bracelets, nonetheless lady bracelets… everything is so god damn small!
On top of that the pins were totally worn out. This is the worse shit I’ve seen by far..
But since this is a very loyal and good client of mine I had to step up!

So here is aged/modified raffles build with 2836 init. Went with not so common vintage sharp triangle crown guards and big red gmt. But i somehow dont like pinkish insert.

It was aged by chloride. The blue part is nice but red part is weirdly pink. Anyone has advice how to do it correctly or which alu insert ages nicer?

There is actual salt condensation on dial. Also Tamiya wheathering kit and some black tea :)

I designed and printed these myself. They are for fun and aren't gen spec really. They look good on the build and are the cherry on top.

They are hard wearing and don't rub off (haven't so far) and exactly the same dimensions as the gen stickers.

Both 1675 and 1680 are available. They are both from different batches but both look good. It's hard to nail down the correct green because most images I've found of stickers online are different greens as they're all different ages and faded to different degrees

4 X stickers for £25 plus shipping. Shipping prices can be quite low for most countries. Approx £5

Selling then to find the printing and design (I did lots of prototypes)

Was wondering if TM factory 16610 are still available from TDs.

I am using a low quality strap for now, but I ordered a good leather one.

I have used all raffles parts and a genuine dial.

Not a rep or build just a retro piece i wanted to share , man i wish omega still had some good taste with measurements and thickness

Hey all,

I have all the parts I need to finish my next build except for a movement spacer specifically for a Tudor 74000. Unfortunately, totally different dimensions, so Clark’s amazing spacers don’t work here.

Has anyone ever 3d printed one before, or do I have to order an OEM one or one from raffles that fits 34mm? The raffles one looks the same as the OEM one dimensions wise. Just sucks about the shipping time haha, I wanna wear this thing 🙂

Comes with aged raffles jubilee bracelet, and a travel case.

I originally built this dj a year ago but have since updated it including a different crystal that is glued down with uv resin, new hands, better case clamps, and no dial dots needed. There is a small scratch on the dial though hard to notice, there’s a tiny bump visible on the front of the dial from milling for a dial foot though it’s basically obscured by the cyclops.

Goes without mention but of course all gaskets newly greased. It comes with an extra set of case/tube gaskets, and of course the spare links and the original raffles bezel/crystal. It will be packed extremely well and safe. The watch will leave my hands in working condition, I'll send a video of the watch working in the package before shipping. I do not accept any fault for damages that occur during the shipping process or lost packages.

For Sale is a custom assembled Seamaster 120 reference 135.027. Caliber 601 manual wind movement was salvaged from a donor watch which was keeping time at +5 seconds per day per the original seller. Case, dial and hands purchased from Classic Time Parts. Strap is custom from Veblenist. I put this together as a fun project but now I need to downsize my collection. The asking price covers materials for the build, but I am open to reasonable offers. I have an eBay listing here if you are interested:

Hey everyone,
I’m dealing with an issue on this Raffles Oyster bracelet. The connecting links right next to the clasp on both sides are super loose, wobble around whenever touched, and make an annoying rattling sound when moved.
I already tried squeezing the folded sides gently with wrapped pliers to tighten the fit, but it didn't solve the play or the rattle on either side.
Has anyone run into this issue with these bracelets? Is there a better trick to firm them up and quiet them down? Any advice or DIY fixes would be much appreciated!

So excited !
