alligoat Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Very nice, Marty. I've had my eye on Bill's stuff for about 9 months now- I'm really impressed with it. Finally getting ready to get an Explorer I dial and hands. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlydog Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 A beautiful watch Marty; great choice. Bang for the buck at its best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I am very excited about getting this one. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on one of Yuki's 1655's, but I wanted something that I knew would be reliable and could be worn daily. I just wasn't convinced that the 1655 would be that watch. I think the LRRP has the look of the original, but none of the potential problems. Sort of like a new Hemi Challenger vs. it's 40 year old cousin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 It looks fantastic Out of curiosity, does the bezel rotate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Yes, it's a friction fit bezel, like on a vintage submariner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like a new Hemi Challenger vs. it's 40 year old cousin I am thinking something similar about using a Yuki 1655 case but I didn't really want to go the whole way and use a Rolex 1575 movement. I've thought about using a ETA 2893 if I can get one from somewhere ( should be reliable for day to day use ) but then I have the problem of making the 2893 fit the Yuki case correctly. Haven't decided yet. TudorKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
