NH_Vintage 107 Posted July 24, 2023 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* Sent from my SM-A217F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genoint 51 Posted July 25, 2023 Raffles dials is another option. They have everything. Cases, bracelets, dials, hands etc…. I’m leaning towards this and it’s very budget friendly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.Sent from my SM-A217F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,764 Posted July 25, 2023 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
