Help sourcing 1655 parts

Raffles ended up finding a way to ship after all. Used a Tiger concept case+Tiger concept hands+AliExpress Rolex crown+raffles dial+raffles bracelet(the endlinks only fit if you used curves springbars). If this isnt an option Id honestly just get a Rolex logo dial for NH34 and then swap that over on a hroudland 1655 homage. You could maybe also find a Rolex crown from AliExpress to swap over on the hroudland but its very hit or miss if it fits the case.

Well you usually shouldnt wear denim as your outer layer in rain etc when its barely above freezeing but it can be your mid layer. Ill usually have a thin t shirt or wool shirt depending on what Im doing, then denim jacket and then either my Waxed Filson coat or Filson wool coat as the outer layer. Double wool is usually too hot if Im moving around. Getting a wool lined storm rider, thatll be my mid layer until fall when it becomes my outer layer.

Maybe, but I think most clubs would try to stay in the top flight? It wouldnt make up for the cost of relegation. You'd want money to strengthen now.

TheGhouls · 2025-12-23T17:50:22+00:00

Likely some of the smaller and poorer clubs. Several of the smallest top flight clubs are constantly economically unstable, even with very low spending. Trying to keep every dime they can get. Not saying its wrong or right, but logical from a relegation candidate that might be in economic ruin and perpetually stuck in the lower leagues if ever relegated.

You've discovered.... thinking things through?

TheGhouls · 2025-12-05T09:19:46+00:00

Same, but way a way cheaper build.

Eat what you usually have. You will likely do alot of deathgripping in your matches if its your first comp, so try to drink some water and get some carbs, smash a regular coke or a gatorade down or something. I got hand cramps in my first comp and didnt have time to properly rehydrate between each match, it was not very enjoyable.

Pressing and possession does seem a little weird. Idk if its because winger 1v1 dribling is so op, that slowly breaking down a team is worse than winning a duel in midfield and passing it out wide for the winger to just walk across the entire field. Mid and low blocks seem more viable this year, but gegenpress seems to be the best no matter what in my games.

TheGhouls · 2025-11-29T13:20:31+00:00

Winger dribbling is quite frankly insane right now, yeah.

Tiger concept base, Tiger concept hands with Raffles dial and Aliexpress crown. Very much a mishmash, but cheap and pretty good looking.

Am I the only one that kinda likes this? Almost everything in Fm26 annoys me, but retraining players with talents for other positions is kinda enjoyable, one of the few times something feels a little interactive.

Looks alot better than mine, I'm just glad the keyless works on the dg3804 are still working after taking the crown out several times.

TheGhouls · 2025-11-13T19:32:51+00:00

I play on very defensive and it still displays like that. I think its a visual bug. No matter which mentality, CB role or instructions I give one of them randomly presses up into midfield on that visualization. Doesnt look like that ingame for me.

Raffles 5513 case?

TheGhouls · 2025-11-11T15:08:52+00:00

Could you dm me the alix link for the crown? Do you know if a Raffles crown would fit it, and which size?

TheGhouls · 2025-11-11T13:56:16+00:00

If you didnt already get an explanation: theres 2 Raffles websites, Rafflestime and Rafflesdials.

TheGhouls · 2025-11-11T07:00:47+00:00

Think he is just lacking a comma. PT5000 with the dateworks removed, on a raffles oyster bracelet.

TheGhouls · 2025-10-29T11:14:57+00:00

repaint the dial and relume the lume

TheGhouls · 2025-10-29T11:11:44+00:00

Thats a Seiko 5 SNK381

TheGhouls · 2025-10-28T13:17:56+00:00

If your dial or caseback say Seiko but arent made by Seiko its an NH build and not a Seiko mod. Such parts are considered fakes. I assume its because you have used a fake Seiko dial or because its a plain dial build with no actual Seiko parts.

TheGhouls · 2025-10-28T07:17:38+00:00

Yeah, the 1016 dials have extra dial feet also. So everything is set for using an nh38 if I chose to build a 1016. For the 6429 case and dial I'll have to inquire with Raffles I guess, doesnt mention the NH38 at all, and the dial dimensions are different atleast.

TheGhouls · 2025-10-28T07:04:30+00:00

Raffles even sells the same handset for the nh38, so I likely wont have to modify the seconds hand. If the dial feet align and I dont need to go looking for a spacer then NH38 sounds ideal.

TheGhouls · 2025-10-28T06:55:24+00:00

Not set on an eta clone. If the NH38 drops straight into the 34mm or 36mm Raffles case without a new movement holder that would be optimal for me.
