That Tudor is awesome.

Poor me, starting to grow on me too !

I hope I will live long enough to get all these beauties on my list...

Thanks for sharing,

Cheers

Thanks Stephane,

This is one Submariner that is still quite affordable, grab on while you can.

Mine was a wedding anniversary gift from my wife a few years ago. I had the bezel replaced as it was trashed and a Superdome T19 put on it. It also has an old twinlock crown

Thank Kollector.

Longshot,

Nice classic watch and I'm sure that was a much more common piece seen on divers wrists during the war.

VERY nice!

Thanks Phantom!

Pete,

Looks like a great project, I'm partial to black myself Milsub

I was goofing around the other and day took these shots -hope you enjoy them.

This is a MKII Watches modified Marathon Navigator homage to the Benurus Type II. The Type II was a US issue non-magentic sterile watch for US Special Forces, Navy SEAL's/UDT and CIA members.

My gen Tudor 7016/0 military (or snowflake) Submariner was a favorite of many sailors and frogmen of course.

Well done post Timepiece.

Here are some of the new Maratac G-10's, better spec than the issue ones IMHO.

Southcoast,

What a great story and classic timepiece, thanks for sharing!

PAM 187 today with a new distressed lambskin Europelli

Tomorrow the wife and I are going out without the kids so it's my dress watch that hasn't been worn in ages -a gen 50's 6614

Sunday is Tudor Sub day

@tmg: I love love love your orange mili-strap. Did you get it from that vendor in HK on *bay?

Hi V,

Actually its a new Maratac NATO from westcoastime, the best NATO/G-10 made IMHO and a steal at $12.

1665 today

My arm needs a workout today.

Avitt, I'm a big fan of your work, it turned out beautiful!

I'm partial to the silver dial too

For the life of me, I cannot remember what these straps are called...(See Below)

Any recommendations on a good source?

DuDro,

I know HKTan also makes some with screws, you can find him on Paneristi. I'm sure you'll find others manufacturers as well there that offer them, but that was the first that comes to mind.

Excellent! Gorgeous! And there's a Superdome tropic-19 for sale on the board right now...........

Please post your price, per board rules?

Hmm, I wonder who's selling that tropic 19

Nice work as always Tribal, good luck on the sale!

Phoband, now that's a dress watch, what a deal you landed. Congrats!

Gens for the next two days, I can't think ahead beyond that.

Snowflake sub today

and tomorrow my Speedie

Bertieng,

It will fit, I have one in my mystery movement 6263, The Zigmeister did the work -I'm not sure how easy or difficult it was. I lucked out and found a lone movement. I could bring myself to gutting one from a vintage Croton I had.

You will need the VJ72 hands though to mix and match with the mystery movement hands as the hour, minute, and sub dial hands do not fit my VJ23.

The strap is a triumph, TMG! That's what these Wrist-Checks are made for, and is not a hijack, IMHO.

By the way, I got my own Zeugma yesterday. A dazzling colour somewhere in between butterscotch pecan, and dark blond chewing tobacco. Next to the PAVs and Simonas, the most expensive one yet. I have two to go: the Delaurian and the XaMas straps, and then I'll have collected all the PAM-centric straps I really covetted.

The Zeugmas are great, but I believe the guys in Turkey no longer custom-make them. If they have them ready-to-wear, great. If not...? Just curious.

Thanks Victoria, I'd love to see some pix of the new strap. You have quote the collection of PAMs and straps!

I think Nuri still custom makes straps but does sell some ready made on Paneristi as well. He turned the one in the pix around in less than a week. I have one other Zuegma that loos great on my 061. I'll have to get off my fat one and take some pix.

BTW, did you receive the DSN straps okay?

Best,

-TMG

Sweet strap dude! what kind of strap is that? is there a site you can direct me to?

Thanks Nebakanezzar, I REALLY like this strap!

It's a custom made Zeugma strap, all handmade with vintage leather. They're pricey but he uses some amazing hides. Here's a few more shots to really appreciate the leather. Sorry for the hijack

zeugma link

tmg....This is an ass kicker!!!!

Thanks a bunch Ximenes! I think the Zuegma strap completes the watch.

As usual, it will be vintage for the next few days.

Today

Tomorrow

and Sunday

Shawn, that pearl looks like a good candidate to age amber/brown like you see on older subs and it has a leg up since it already looks shiny. Some tinted and thinned laquer might do the trick.

Happy belated, hope you had a nice one Ubi!

A friend of mine gave me a tip to go to a "Check Cashing" place, instead of buying it online, which quoted me U$42 to send the 390USD to DSN.

So I only paid $30 for the fee!

And LANIKAI THANK YOU for you know what! Glad you had a great time, and looked smart to boot. I shall answer presently, after b-day dinner.

That's weird, I just now priced WU online and it says:

Amount to send $ 350.00

Money transfer fee* $ 14.00

Total estimated amount $ 364.00

But it was definitely the $30-40 a month ago.

I lucked out, TMG! Especially the GPF buckle. You're the best!

Enjoy them Victoria!
