@Ogladio, be careful with the screwdriver when pushing that tab over.  I slipped a couple times and really stabbed myself. 

 

Put your thumb under the endlink when it's attached to the watch and with your other hand twist the band hard as you push straight down at that protruding piece.  This will warp the band relative to the endlink, so press again hard, and twist the band the other way.  You'll feel it bending and twisting and giving a little as you push down. 

 

It will feel like it went into place, but mostly all you did was open the endlink "clamshell" way too wide.  In reality you only moved the protruding piece a little.  So keep going, be brutal with it.  No mercy.  BEND that sumbitch.

 

When you think you got some movement, take the band off and squeeze the "clamshell" of the endlink back down and reinstall the band.  See how it looks.  It took me 3 or 4 tries to get it where I like it.

 

 

 

@droptopman, I have 3 spare Yuki 7206s here, 3 mounted on watches, and I've sold off half a dozen.  All of them fit my 20mm lugs just fine.  The only one I had trouble with by the too-tall rivets was the MQ band.

 

 

Can I buy one?

Very nice. I have a US Navy 7928 with a 7922 dial and this one looks close to the age of my gen. Great job

My old Tudor has a Rose, but the print is gold without the swiss made and nuke readings on dial

I'm going to say that weapon is an airsoft.

Looks like an AI L96, but the mount is WAAAAY to undefined to be a real steel one.

A good looking rep, just like the watch.

Can you replace a crystal? I need one swapped too and I live in Chagrin Falls Ohio. Thanks, Steve

I am not from Philadelphia, but I just took a job out of Warminster.

Id like to know where it is. Could you e mail it to me. I wiill be there on May 7th thru the 9th

Steve

I agree and I shall be buying one of these attractive watches

Hey Big Nasty I need a sapphire swap on my 2 1950's How much and are you in the US?

Thanks,

Steve

Go to the dealer section to see his prices. This is photo gallery, not dealer section.

Just recvieved mine and it looks great. Now to get the other 1950 I own repaired. Cracked crystal from case misalignment.

Try Cape Cod Cloths from Bed Bath and beyond....

Try Nevr_Dull It works very well and is easy on platings

Id have to say Rolex and then Tudor!

Tell you what - why don't you do it and post up your results!

This site relies on contributions from members, both in terms of financial support and informative posts. No-one is being paid to produce such information so if you sit around waiting for someone else to do it you might be waiting a while.

Why not buy the parts, take some pictures, show some willing to at least do some of the work yourself, post your pics and see what kind of help gets offered. Sitting on your [censored] waiting for a pre-packaged solution and moaning that one doesn't come along usually results in disappointment.

I just bought sub and GMT2 bezels The watches are gen Tudor Sub and GMT2 sapphire. Ill let you know how they look. My GMT is red/black and I bought red/blue

I want to buy a briefcase for watches from ebay and the seller only ships to Usa, If a trusted member can help i want to ship the briefcase to his address and i will pay for shippment from his address to mine. Its just an empy brief case so no issues with customs (iam located in EU).

Except that i cover all expenses , i can offer 10.000$ RWG cash...

Thanks for looking.

John

I can do it for you also,

Thanks,

Steve

Where do you live? I have a guy in Ohio. He works on everything except my 1950 Case is too big for his fixture for holding watch for crystal replacement, which is what I am looking for to have done

Mine scratched the first day. My gen GMT2 has not a scratch one on it. Id like to see an acrylic crystal on the 1950 It is an old enough looking watch to wear one well. My 1962 production Tudor Sub has one and it looks so much warmer than the clinically clean GMT2

correct.

How do I find or get ahold of Davidsen?

Thanks,

Steve

and contact Eddielee cuz I just sent him $$$ for anotther 1950!

Wow If this for real, I ought to rethink about buying another 127..

Help... I need a crystal too Mine shattered for no reason at all.

Another person in Columbus! Small world. Work downtown and live in Clintonville.

if anyone is near cleveland ohio and would like to meet and show off their watches please pm me. if there is enough interest i will set some dates. perhaps sushi rock in beachwood with a stop at mann's

By the way, I am in the U.S., Ohio to be exact!

Chagrin Falls, Ohio. I saw 2 Daytonas.... MILLIONS of Subs a few GMT2's and all the versions of Tags available. Saw a Patek on a 70 year old and an iced out Day Date on his 20 year old armhanger.

1950!!!

I was at Blossom Time Festival and I saw about 30 Rolexes and about 1/2 were TT. I have a Real GMT2 and a 1960's Tudor sub and they will reside in my jewelry box from now on. Viva Panerai!

I have written EL about one I have been happy buying swiss and EL has some watches with Super luminova. You can read by my 1950 when it is glowing!
