With that dial, drilled lugs and open 6/9 dw you could stop and call it an '88 16610 .

Is your TC case wth or without engravings?

Just wanted to share the great work that@Ado213 did for me recently.

Taking my very beat up TC and giving her a complete service, drilled lugs, installed open 6&9 Dwo and basically giving me my grail watch.

Only thing left is to replace the dial one day but no rush. Loving this.

Thanks again@ado213

Yes! The Problem is the modder if there are good are the result good...
I come from germany and here is a good one...

But in UK or US are very good modder...

That's actually not a bad look, my 1680 Sub has end links so worn that you can see daylight through there. If I pressed them together they'd probably lie flat.
 
Where are you located? I might have some end links for you. They fit my 1675 GMT perfect.
 

Honestly though if anyone ever reads this thread I cannot recommend this combo strongly enough. Particularly since attaching the Tudor buckle it’s fantastic. Only issue is still not having the properly fitted endlinks.

As anyone who owns one of these will understand, the holes for the springbar is very near the ends of the lugs. This means that whenever you use the leather strap or other options the blank and ugly walls of the watch are on display. My current set up decreases this problem but still if someone knows anyone who is capable of making a set of custom jubilee endlinks for this I’d be very grateful.

Talking to myself here haha... but I’ve managed to attach the clasp from the Tudor bracelet to the seiko jubilee.

So I’ve had a love hate relationship with my first ever gen purchase a Tudor Black Bay Red with Rose logo and tonight I may have solved (at least temporarily) my issue with the way the watch wears.
I’ve been wearing my seiko diver that has a pretty comfy jubilee and I tried it on the and it fits ok well except for the endlinks of course.. Anyone know who would be best person to reach out to??
 
Thanks in advance

Sorry for quoting myself.. above^

Anyway so I found a somewhat satisfying result by just pinching the end links together.
Still think a custom full size endlink will look better

As the owner of a gen Tudor Black Bay Red (Rose log) I regret ever buying it especially since they bring out this beauty now!! The B.B. wears huge!!
Doesn’t look big but because the case is soo thick it feels huge and I never wear it anymore since getting a TC V6 a year or so ago. The Tudor B.B. is beautiful but not for me at 41m. Might have to flip it soon..

@ephry73 I will take your advice and let the TC case be what it is.
I will have the lugs drilled and y serial numbers engraved and leave the rest as is..

Thanks for all the info guys!
What if I was to just do the lug holes and date wheel to the open 6&9 it will be correct for an R-serial (1988) with “service dial
And hands” ? I can live with this.. but the question remains: should I [censored] with something that is already great?? I’m torn as Im in no position currently to by expensive ST cases, dials, movements etc..

Censorship on Tapatalk??? Wtf?

Hey guys,

I have a beautiful TC V6 which I love and wear everyday even over my gen Tudor BBR but my grail watch is a 1983 16800.

I am considering having Ado or jmb drill the lugs and do the appropriate engravings between the lugs. I will also have a open 6&9 date disk added.

I will leave the dial for now as I guess it could have been added as a service dial??

Any thought on whether I should do this or keep her as is?

Absolutely gorgeous! This watch is now back on my wish list!!

3 weeks in full sun faded the red on this dial pretty well.

if the second one is the same as this one, (watch the video) correct hand stack

http://www.puretime.watch/product/gmt-master-ii-16710-bluered-bezel-correct-hand-stack/

then its the wokky one with the date window too far right

So I received the watch.. Was not the one in the video with CHS and thankfully not all that 'wokky' at least to me.. I am however a bit confused about the CGs and crown. When I'm wearing the watch I feel they are wrong so took some pics to post here and when I look at them they look fine. Can you give me your opinion? I feel I'm going a little mad..

Ps the watch came on a really really flimsy hollow link bracelet so swapped it for a jubilee I've had lying around for ages. The thing that's stressing me out about the CGs is that they are too long and the crown is too small???
