NCRich 13,748 Posted July 5, 2017 I've gotten fascinated by TT watches and this looked to be an easy build to get one's feet wet. Its the Rafflesdial vintage Tudor case set/dial/bracelet with a 2824 movement. Basically just assemble it, and the detail is really, really good for the $. You can also toss a gen dial in this, or you can pick a bunch of different rep dials. Its just 34mm, but it feels more like a 36. Anyway I don't really go for anything bigger than 40mm so this is in my wheelhouse. Good bang for the buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted July 5, 2017 Very nice. Not that I have the biggest wrists (71/4"), but it's hard for me to go under 36 mm. now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCRich 13,748 Posted July 5, 2017 Wow. That is really nice. Gen dial or Raffles dial? Raffles dial. Don't know that it would be worth it to change. The parts here are incredibly good for the $. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moondustesp 136 Posted July 5, 2017 The dial does look very good. A gen linen dial would be $$$$$$$$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can supply the movement as well. Tell him you want everything to build a complete watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did u use the raffles long tube hands or did you bend the minute hand up a little bit to clear the minute marks? Vito Edited June 5, 2018 by vito1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vito I built many of these you really dont need long post hands. Normal 34mm tudor date hands that raffles sells fit fine and clear the markers easily.
