I present for your viewing pleasure a 1981 Genstein Franken Tudor 9411/0. The project started out with the purchase of a genuine Tudor 2784 movement and went from there. - Gen Tudor 2784 movement, fully disassembled, cleaned, oiled, and rebuilt. Required new automatic works bridge, balance wheel, keyless works, and stem. Unfortunately I have not sourced a glucydur balance wheel so it’s nickel for now - Gen 704 Rolex crown and tube - MQ mid case and case back. Fully reshaped & tapered lugs and lightly repshaped CG’s. Chamfers recut and case repolished. Tube retapped and countersunk to accept gen tube - Phong bezel assembly and insert. Lightly aged and repolished - Phong dial relumed - TC hand set, aged in Pacific Ocean water and organic apple cider vinegar, relumed to match dial - Verlux 25-125 crystal - Erika’s Original MN strap - And the odds and ends, gaskets lubed, new dial seat, new case clamps, new movement ring, pressure fit all parts, etc

My Tudor 2562 is in good working order, albeit waiting on a stem. I think I will wait on the blue dials to be available with Phong again in April(ish) to do that blue dial build I want. It’ll be a 7021/0 but that’s cool. The Tudor 2561 needs some work - missing some of the keyless works and some various screws. I will be working to get that running to eventually tackle a 7016/0.

A rep Omega rubber strap. Which was an absolute barsteward to fit. I’m not normally into rubber 😜 but thought it would work well with the black ceramic bezel.
