Community Tudor Chrono - Final Chapter


jmb

Recommended Posts

The detailed build details and pics of this have already been posted, along with some updates, but with all the "Tudor activity" on the board lately I figured I should make a small post with the watch in final form.

This was my first "frankenwatch" build and I really learned a lot from the experience. All-in-all, despite it's various "errors" and shortcomings, it looks enough like the "real deal" that I'm happy with it. The Daytona bezel isn't correct, the crystal diameter is a bit too small, and I believe the case is a bit too thick but I can live with it. About the only thing left that I will do is to drill the lugs. Here's the parts list and a few pics of the finished product:

1 - Gen Tudor dial - Lani

1 - Gen crown and tube - justasgood

1 - Rep Daytona case - Ubi

1 - A7750 movement - Ubi

1 - Rep Daytona hand set for A7750

1 - Rep Tudor signed Vintage style brushed Oyster bracelet

Again, this project never would have been completed, let alone gotten off the ground, without support from Ubi, Lani, and justasgood :thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim: - thanks guys and my hat's off to ya!

That is a lot flatter, sure thing! It will probably look quite nice on it!

I bought a replacement sapphire crystal for a Tudor and it's about 2 mm bigger than the rep Daytona. I'm thinking about maybe making a plain transitional bezel that would "fit" the crystal and the case. I'm afraid if I carved on one of these it would get out into the markings...
