Confirmed. I have the same watch with sapphire (plus the serial number is corrected for a 4 digit number). The pity is I cracked the sapphir... Any replacement possible ?

This should be ok for my Tudor prince (jmb) Franken then. This one is 19mm.

What is this issue with the missing link ?

Which link is missing btw ? so 150$ is not a bad deal...

Any chance to fit it on a datejust ?

Just wanted to know if this bracelet 7835 is a gen one. Is yes what is a good price for it ? Thank in advance for your help

I tried all sorts of bleaches and got nowhere.

I discovered generic Drano drain cleaner works well. It can be diluted with water.

Also keep in mind that each insert react differently, for instance an MBW insert will change slower than a cartel.

You gotta keep your eye on them and pull and rinse and repeat till you get the desired effect.

Cillit bang for 3-4 min before bleaching could help. It worked for mined wich did not react only with bleach...

I have the same issue but received Gen tub from ofrei. I already tried to fix the tube with epoxy, wait for 24h, but when i tried it, the tube moved again. What is the best to fix the tube on the case ?

Best possible combo: v2 with v1 SELs.

I already heard about this but I do not remember it is explained somewhere on this forum. Would you mine sharing how solid endlinks can be swapped?

After having a try through me with the rep one, a friend of mine bougt the gen ceramic. According to him, the gen bracelet is worst than the rep one. When I see his gen bracelet completely schrached, it is a pity for such a nice watch....

The straps are ment for tang buckle if that is what you mean. The maker did however told me he would try to make it bi-functional. Don't really know how that will turn out so me and my $$$$ invested are pretty anxious to see the result thursday

I am in for a brown one ! can we book already ?

Same for me these previous day. I knew flyingwedge is a Gentleman and I confirm. Origin of the shipping error was myself but the box is again on shipping. Many Thanks

DW has never been anything other than accomodating for returns. It's just that when you get a picture of something, you say you want exactly that, and then get something that is FUBAR, it gets frustrating. Literally, every time I order anything from him it is incorrect on the first receipt. Hands for the incorrect movement, dials that are a complete joke compared to the pics he said would be the exact dial and now this. This wasn't to disparage DW, just wondering if there are other options that don't require shelling out $1500 for a case. It appears there are no other options, so I will now get off of my horse.

Sorry to pollute the tread but I have no responses by PM. Did the parcel (gen Insert) get back to you ? I PM yo tell you I did a mistake with shipping address (new home...) and since march I 've try to contact you. Please update

Best

Antoine

I am insterrested by a gen movment & hands (blue) sourcing and installation. Your MB is full. Can you please PM me about details ?

Thanks in advance

I bought one of those Bergeon caseback remover sets on ebay about 4 years ago. Its been one of the most valuable tools on my workbench and worth the investment.

I did the same but mine must be one of the low quality one. max 20 opening with it and 29.5 is screwed up... I need a new tool btw

look here:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270661737006#ht_720wt_1141

It look the same. Price is high for a fake. I would pay agree to pay up to 200-250€ if the quality wa really there, but not more for a fake...

I think the best bracelet is the WM9 or the Noobmariner.... just pull off the SEL's and convert it to a floppy endlink. The numbers wont be correct but personally I really dont worry about little things like that. The hollow link MBW 93150 links are good.. just swap on a gen clasp and you are good to go. You're still looking at $300 give or take to build that so you may as well spend $500 or so and get an all gen bracelet. At least you can sell it later and get your money back if you want

I am curious about how you remove SEL on a wm9 bracelet and install new enlink ?

So am I correct in thinking there is no fix for the 4th gen clasp issue?

For instance, Amptor, does the clasp just pop open on your watch without warning whilst wearing?

Thanks

Just replace it with a better bracelet or buy a gen one. Easy fix, only a question of $$$

Did someone buy the watch at the end ? No return for a 40k$ watch...

On the wrist at work this morning. Leather really change the watch:

I completed a couple of projects today, both of which bear an uncanny resemblance to pieces already in my collection. I plan to write about these projects in greater detail, but for now I just wanted to take pictures!

For both the 1016 Explorer and the manual-wind Daytona, I wanted pieces that were representative of the early and late stages of each model's life cycle. However, I really like folded-link bracelets, so shooting for 1987 wasn't in the cards. So let's travel about a decade from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, as riveted bracelets fell out of fashion, and Superdomes were demolished...

DW 6239 and DW 6263

I really like the left one. (all you Rolex are gorgeous btw) What is a good model to start with to try it ?

Antoine

I had time this morning to install the strap. Gen Tudor shark skin and on gen Tudor deployment buckle. I still have to find steel endlink but already like it.

[sorry quick iphone] Pics:

Thanks to all. If someone a a Tudor sub staying in the watch box, it could be a nice addition to the familly...

That's one sexy pair you got there! They really compliment each other nicely! That oysterdate from jmb looks awesome!

I agree and it is better in real life ! quality is amazing and Less exepensive than many full-of-flaws-pseudo-ETA, And it has a gen dial. JMB is the man for these oysterdate.

A, excellent pair! I wear the twin to your Oysterdate probably 50% of the time and that is a fantastic looking chrono! Do you know which Clarks crystal was used?

Take a look at the "unusual" band I put on my silver dialed PDC:

Great bracelet my friend. If another one cross you road, catch it for me ! Or any other oyster Tudor by the way.. For the crystal I do not have a ref but as far as I understood, it was a seperate cystal and cyclop... May be Namor remerber.

Best regards

Antoine

I received these beauties some week ago but had no time to take some family shots. First one is a Tudor by JMB. A 34mm case. Originally came on a rep jubilee style bracelet but I am so used to oyster bracelet that I change it quickly, thanks to JMB again. ETA movement, gen dial, and perfect assembly by JMB.

Second one is a well know Tudor Prince pre Tiger Chrono which has already know many RWG houses, last one was Vikkyrob

No, sorry, but I wish I did. It is basically a jig that holds a few of the links stationary while 1 of the them is opened. Because of the tool's rarity & likelihood of link damage when manipulated with hand tools, these days, most watchmakers refuse to do anything with these types of bracelets other than adjusting the clasp.

So does it means that THIS bracelet can not be resized without unfolding the links ? Or Adjusting only the claps would be enough for a 7" wrist ?
