Need better pics of 40 and 50 - possible fake

Agree - go saltwater fishing in the Florida sun year round and see what happens to your inserts

Damn. Killer.

When I grow up I want a Factory Five Daytona , I mean 65 Coupe. Saw one in Newport a few years ago.

Do you have factory wiring harness Lucas replacement smoke or did you use aftermarket? I think some are works of art, and the skill that goes into some is superb, but they are still not real and authentic - which makes a difference. A Factory Five Daytona Coupe is a BadAss car - it is still not a Shelby, badge or not.

Concur - aftermarket

Nope - counterweight too large - 10 other things but I will leave that one there

Two numbers Kissing, the rest are heavily breathing on each other while staring lustfully in their partners' eyes.

It is legit - at 6500 smackers US it is over priced on a black dial, but it is legit.

His cases / casebacks are fake - convincing fakes but fakes. There are a few threads on VRF on this guy - confirmed fakes.

If you read the current Hodinkee article (pretty good article) it states that all Rolex cases are hand polished - assuming the same for Tudor, you would get this. Bane, I assume you are using a mechanical method to guide the case along the lapping machine to maintain angle?

Lapping is an art and requires a tremendously expensive machine $4-10K and a lot of experience. a 63 PCG (1966 is after pointed CGs) is going to have less chamfer/bevel than a 58' NCG sub. but more than a 79 5513. Search a bunch of photos - I like to check hqmilton.com as a good comparison site.

Bevels (technically "chamfers") = vintage which is part of the appeal. Bevels vary by year to pretty much disappearing on newer pieces. The early vintage subs have the most bevel so a 6538/7922/6200/6542 have marvelous bevels - and Bane nails it here.

Movement is pink or brassy? Tudor 7924 or 7928 CG or PCG subs have the Rhodium plated movement. Non-subs and the odd 7922s have the pink movements and the rest the brassy movement Good looking build

Hey Bawstin - that guy is always high priced.
