jmb Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 A while back K offered for sale his gorgeous dark blue Tudor Prince Date Chrono so I started selling everything that wasn't nailed down trying to raise the scratch for it. I was getting close and some TZ rat-bastard beat me to it! I guess Brother ChiMan "felt my pain" and offered to part with his blue dialed Franken so I was all over it - thanks again Chi! He had done all of the hard work and all I did was change bands and order a gen crown (not here yet) and I'm loving it. I had been rat-holing parts to build another but now I don't have to so if anybody needs a new Daytona case and set of A7750 hands I have some that I probably won't be using so give me a shout. Chi built this with a gen dial and gen movement and the stopwatch function is so much smoother than the A7750 it's almost scary! The blue is almost a dead match for my wife's motorcycle so I decided to use it as a backdrop. Enough talk so here are a few pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiman12 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Pics don't do that blue dial justice! It is actually spectacular in real life! Enjoy J!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 R, the date closeup was for your benefit. It's a bit fancier than with the naked eye... Chi, you are so correct, the dial almost looks iridescent when the light is just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patinga Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I hate you and I am jealous. There are very few watches you can see and just want. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikellem Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hey JMB, I think you should send this watch to me so I can give you my opinion! Exceptional piece... Enjoy your new beauty... MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Very nice acquisition J! It's a good playmate for your silver dialed one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Red, I keep them both in the same box hoping they'll get together and spawn another but so far no luck! Mike, I'll get right on that first thing in the morning - NOT! I really like this one and the dial/hand combination is so much easier to read than my silver one! Chi is right, though, this has to be seen in person out in the sun to really appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
