I asked yukiwatch but he had only a complete watch (1950s tudor no guards sub) but he is out of stock

Postman came but no backcase yet must have got tied up with the christmas holidays !

Hi DVNE Welcome ! the bezel pops off with ease by inserting carefully a pen knife between the case and the bezel raffles items takes about 3 weeks to arrive

Thanks freddy ! yes i have been thinking about enhanced patination i never go for the factory fresh look ! i have been in contact with helenarou and his is working on a black bay project using this case which includes a rose engraved crown actually he will adapt the black bay parts to fit on this case although it will still be custom instead of exact replication, i would like to matt the glossy dial and find a correct colour insert !

Still can not make my mind up with the inserts Red or brown ! so i have asked helenarou to supply me with a spare bezel so that i can altenate between both colours without riskiing any damage to the inserts !

I love flakes in a big way ! these days !

Looks Super ! i want to add a blackflake to my tudor sub collection !

Looking Great ! love the chocolate dial very authentic ageing And the leather strap makes it more so ! I doubt there are many gens with those spring stretch riveted bracelets mose were thrown away years ago ! these builds show no need for expensive cases and movements ! after spending 2500 usd on my first franken , and at the end of the day with a bit more cash i could get a gen sub or tudor !

Any day now the postman should be bringing (the iceing on the cake) my jmb engraved backcase !

Socks ?

Wait and see how it turns out first ! even if the guilt type colour is not exact and i believe you can not tell by photos alone manufacturer photos always make the watches look better than in the flesh with studio lighting, and colours are never exact the black bay is supposed to be based on the vintage tudor subs and these were guilt dials for me if they get the case shape and printing and finish correct and crisp then im in !

Thanks ! M thats a nice datejust your wearing love to red/black DW ! i have replied to you !

1030 powered 6538 !

Love it !

Very Stylish !

Thanks mate ! im into tudors it seems mabe soon i buy a gen too !

Split today up wearing two watches In the morning im with this And it the afternoon this I dont have wrist shots ! i better take some !

Thanks ! thats a good idea!

Do we have any supplier for tudor shield clasps not the short raffles ones, the full sized ones i ordered the raffles short one but the clasp is stamped GENEVR I i thought about cutting splicening the tudor shield logo and fitting it onto a sterile buckle with the tudor flat extensions clasps as they are full sized, but there is no point now that the clasps are wrongly stamped gens go for 300usd and are rare !

If the blemish at 4 oclock is a little bit of lume that is out of the dot/curcle you could try to remove it carefully with a tooth pick (no guaranties mind you) i have removed excess lume this way as the tooth pick is softer than the matt black dial surface try to blunt the end down a bit !try it a bit at a time with a lobe and stop if you think it may damage your dial !

Those tudor watch boxes really are the icing on the cake got one for the blu-flake and one for my blackbay homage from ebay seller rocketchan .

I want to have the whole range of snowflake subs ! (oh no here i go again im addicted to these super subs !)

Anyone up for the reluming job!
