Im glad that my dad took so good care of this watch, i asked him if it was ever polished some years ago, but he said that he cant remember if it ever was.

Is that an old tape recorder from mid 60's?

Thank you.

You go a 7836 from WI, who is WI?

1675

I would go gen, gen will always be gen. And the feeling is so good!

Gen 1675 with new service dial.

I think its really good. Great colour, but texture just slightly off. Looks a bit "dry" and chalky. I'd thicken it up just a touch. To me it has to look like sponge toffee. Or the cross section of a slab of cake before you put the frosting on.

Close up of my pre Comex tritium dial:

Yes it is, and i think i used also to much contrast in the picture.

Im happy with the service dial and now im set for many many years to come!

.

Service dial is already in and the old dial is well packed and put aside for the moment.

Its the nicest rep comex i have seen! Fantastic build!

My 1964 7928...

Now this is music nice.

No pics?

Maaaan, that one is a thick brick. I would love it if tudor made a thinner case and with lugholes!

But the rep looks realy good when you look at it, well made!

No, it dosent need to be perfect, i have a few vintage dials that are not perfect, thats the charm. But when you first saw this dial you tought it was good/perfect now you know it has scratches, how do you think you will feel after a few days with that dial installed and when you see the scratches in some angles/lights they will eat you from the inside out, belive me. You have a chanse to pass on this one, i think you should take it.

After you posted your pic that pointed out the scratches, now when you look close at op's pic you can actuly see the scratches he should thank you, you saved him some money

@lion

But if i restore this dial then i can enjoy it again some day, right? Leaving it like this all f-up'd and flaking lume more and more every day, it hurts like hell but hey even the malibu woman gets new [censored] and face lifts.

Yes Ad will give me the old dial+hands, there mine yes i think it will go to a new reluming job.

Cc33, how did you do that with the pic?

Oohhh, thanks

Can you post a link?

But his webpage was closed ysterday. I dident know he hade a ebay store

Thanks.

So i have this 1675 from 67/68 and now thr lume starts to fall off. Index nine is all gone and index six is starting to head in the same way, the minut hand is also starting as you can se in the pic.

Now i know all vrf guy's are telling me, DO NOT relume the dial! I just orderd a service dial and as we speak my ad is installing it. But the old dial, should i just letit be like this or should i relume it? Im leaning twords having it relumed vintage style. Let me know what you guys think.
