A while ago i scored a gen tudor dial from 1970 (ish) but to my wife it is 1970 as this is for here 40th birthday in 5 days time.
The case came from watcheden and i have to say it was a nice straight forward deal, the watch as it came was very wearable, no photos but you can see it here Thanks to watcheden for the $20 coupon that meant that this watch only cost $88 with postage to UK, I love the bracelet for the price i am very impressed no need even to smooth it, the case back is laser engraved rather than stamped and the crown is a bit flimsy but it does align with the 2836 that i have fitted (oem is a21j) Plexy crystal is nice to have i think the loupe could have a bit more magnification.
The modding was not straight forward as the dial is too small for the case, in fact the dial is the exact size of the opening, so i had to make a new movement holder (OEM was plastic any way) on my new lathe to center and hold the dial, i did not take any photos of it yet but if i take this apart then i will try to remember, even as it is the whole package is held together by the case back being tightened as there are no recesses in the case for movement clamps.
Now some eye candy
Sorry if the photos are not that good but i am sat in the garden and cant see the detail in the pictures due to the sun, if any one wants a picture of the case back and bracelet i will do one later.
Don't want to miss some time sat in the sun after the white winter we had.
