docblackrock Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 It's a gen Tudor, not sure where you got "franken Rolex" from? http://www.tudorwatch.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Tudor is Rolex's little sister, they share a lot of similarities but are two distinct brands. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Both brands were fathered by Hans Wilsdorf; Rolex in 1905, and, Tudor, the baby, in 1946. it was in the 1990's I believe that it was decided that they should go their separate ways Tudor was supposed to be established as a more affordable line..I believe...

robertk Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Tudors use a 7750 movement distinctly different from a rolex movement. They are suddenly becoming more popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Tudors look like the much easier bet to franken with an A7750! Assuming you can find the case / dial / hands... Edited September 11, 2009 by Member X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin14 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks everyone! Like I said, I'm not familiar with Rolex / Tudors and I wasn't sure that this wasn't a watch that someone cobbled together out of spare parts (gen & non-gen). Now, if this was an Omega then I wouldn't be asking this question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
