Heading to work with something clean and simple...

Staying with the small and simple theme...

Something simple...

Has an extremely high "cool factor", I love it!

After looking at LH's bezel sketch (best guess) it's obvious that a bezel like that will make the watch seem bigger than a 36mm and wear larger as well. I'm looking forward to receiving the case and makin' chips!

Here's the doc... 29_ETA2801.2-ETA2836.2.pdf

Crown looks nice, CGs look very nice, I have no idea...

Went to supper somewhere where a T-shirt would be frowned upon so since I had to actually wear a shirt I dug this out...

Stilty, it might be that the misalignment might have been "OK" with management as the Tudor, after all, is part of their "budget" line! I guess that's why I have really started liking Tudors in general...

I have bought a couple of watches from him. You order and he usually e-mails you PayPal instructions, at least he used to. He dropped off the map for a few months and is apparently back but I have not bought anything from him since he re-surfaced...

Back in "fantasy land" for today...

DJ time today...

I don't think I'd ever try that! Very good first attempt, you'll be a pro in no time! Go down to the hobby shop and buy a can of Testors "Dull Kote". It's a flat clear that's used on military models after decal application since decals need to go over a smooth glossy surface and tanks ain't s'posed to be shiny!

Slick!

All these GMTs coming out of the closet caused me to dust one off...

I should have some Tudor Brushed Oyster bands in next week and I'll check the band number and clasp details.

Harharhar...

All of the rep bands that I have "access" to, although very good build quality, come with end-links stamped 455B no matter if for riveted, Oyster, Jubilee, Tudor, Rolex, etc.

The Tudor really was pretty easy, just a dab at the end of th marker. It's probably the Glow, Inc. lume - it's not nearly as neat as advertised...

The old Tudor dial's markers have a little indentation cut into them for the lume dot to butt against so the lume is actually touching the marker... I would post a close up but y'all would laugh at my lack of "lume skills".

T, nice! Another thing that I've noticed, at least on my rep Datejust, is that it seems the "light" reflects back onto the top of the marker and instead of a dot it looks like a lit "rectangle". It's got to be the shape and angle of the actual marker, I think, as I put new "lume dots" on my Vintage Tudor dial in the same spots as the original dead stuff and all I see is "dots" at night as the markers have a different shape.

Just got this Saturday. Only watch I have that's not a Rollie or Tudor...
