jmb Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Now that my cases, bands, and hands got here yesterday I decided to put together my latest Tudor project. I had won a gen NOS Prince Oysterdate dial off flea-bay a while back and was waiting for everything to come together and the planets to align. That happened this weekend! Parts list: Rep 34mm Tudor case Gen Prince Oysterdate dial ETA 2836-2 movement Rep silver Datejust hand set Rep Tudor SS band Nothing really exciting to say about building this as the gen dial feet pop right into the holes on an ETA 2836 so no dial gluing, misc. machining, or date wheel overlay work involved. Really, this would be the perfect project for somebody just starting to get their feet wet. Pardon what looks like a fuzzy or piece of dirt on the dial as I didn't see it until I was "processing" the pics. I'll pop the crystal and get out the Rodico later...

TeeJay Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I think I saw an identical dial, which would fit in a 36mm case for sale as well, that might well have to be a future project for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
