Very nice!

Tudor for fun...

I think I have some in silver stick, black stick, and sunburst blue Roman...

Good save, T!

I think you'll also find you need to countersink the hole as well...

T, I've got some rep white and black stick Tudor Prince Date dials... In fact, I'll switch to the black one for the rest of the day!

Ken, nice looking bag - I think wife.gov would like it. If you get it back (and it hasn't been vandalized) PM me on the cost...

Uh-huh...

It is really a shame as I think that was about the most affordable "case" that would take some gen parts and a 26mm dial.

They're stubby, just like all the others...

While dismantling a new Cartel 5513 it seemed the crystal retaining ring popped off awfully easy. After closer inspection it was obvious that there was a ring of some sort of plastic around the crystal acting as a "shim". I figured that maybe they had a batch of rep crystals that might have been a little undersized on the OD but when the ring just "fell" over a Clark T19 I invented a couple of new words to describe the "ingenuity" of our Chinese brethren. It appears the retaining ring is too large on the ID and needs a shim ala PT. I hope this is an anomaly as the ability to make easy crystal swaps was one of the selling points of this particular series of watches. So much for the easy "swap dial and hands to make a quick Snowlake..." So, now that the Cartel case may also require a new compression ring, does this make the PT case the better choice for modding?

Wake up, peeps!

The only 14060 dials I can get now are the Maxis and I have a few if you need one...

Got here today!

Glad y'all like it, I'm still undecided...

Wake up, peeps!

I don't often build up a two-tone watch as they really aren't "me" but I found a couple gen Tudor Prince Oysterdate dials in an obscure corner of the parts box so decided they looked awfully lonely. One was a "plain" gold dial while the other was a linen texture and I decided the "linen" would be my first victim. It is so enjoyable building Tudors like this - no feet to clip or dials to glue on, no DW overlay to jack with! Build Sheet: NOS Gen Tudor Prince Oysterdate gold linen textured dial. Rep 34mm Two-Tone Prince Date case. Borel spring-bars. Rado signed non-hacking Swiss ETA 2836-2 movement. Rep Two-Tone 19mm Prince Date style Tudor signed bracelet. Rep gold tone Prince Date hand set Sapphire crystal Trying to decide if I'll keep this one, maybe I'll make a decision after building the other one but here's some pics...

Damn, Sam! Rotten Buzzards...

Something a bit different, for me...

K, absolute bummer, you and yours seem to have had a bad couple of years. Hopefully things will get better soon. Strange thing, yesterday my wife told me that either someone she works with or somebody she knows (can't remember but doesn't really matter) has a daughter that was just diagnosed with the same condition.

Mmmm, Tudor...
