9401 Budget build dial options

[NH_Vintage 107]

As title suggests I'm looking to build a very budget friendly and reliable Tudor 9401.

 

Helenarou, Yuki, and BiVintage (FB & Ebay)

All have availability, any preference as to which one is the better?

 

*I know there's far superior quality but this is the budget I'm going for*

Raffles dials is another option. They have everything. Cases, bracelets, dials, hands etc…. I’m leaning towards this and it’s very budget friendly.

That's very true, they'll even supply an engraved caseback.
However I find the Raffles dials Sub cases to have a really deep rehaut that I just can't unsee.

I don't remember whether that is blue or black or with the date or not, but I like the Helenarou dial, though I've been out of the building loop for a while now.  A JK factory base, a dial from helenarou, and crown from Athaya. 

It was one of my first builds, I used a low beat swiss movement.  I didn't age it as I wanted NOS look.

That's a nice looking Helererou dial, quite a deep blue.

 

*Can't I just buy yours lol*
