Alhig72 3,014 Posted March 16, 2018 And so it begins, I got my 1 snowflake the other day, it's an HR with jmb engraving that I got from m2m.First the HR bezel had to go.Then i decided that the lume needed aging so I had a stab at it.I ordered a Yuki insert as I think the colour looks better,Here it is so far Sent from my Lenovo P2a42 using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

repmaster1234 49 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Looks great! One of my dream watches. I still need to get around to making your dial sheet - I haven't forgotten. Edited March 16, 2018 by repmaster1234 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alhig72 3,014 Posted March 18, 2018 So today I thought what mod can I do to the 9411 that nobody including me will ever see and will make absolutely no difference, Answer.. a Tudor rotorSent from my Lenovo P2a42 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J!m 289 Posted March 20, 2018 Even better than the rotor, and also less visible, is the Tudor movement is stamped “Tudor” under the dial, on the main plate. Thats a hard-core mod. Gen movement is easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J!m 289 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) gen insert on top of my rep one... Depending on the era, they do tend to be “royal blue” or a bit purple. But also note the dial color: I notice the rep dials tend to replicate the service dials, which are a lighter blue. Originals were a dark navy blue and all suffered from “rot”; mine included. ( if you zoom in you can see the bumps on the dial) I actually bought this dial as a black dial because the seller didn’t realize only the blue ones rot.
