Okay Eagle Eyes ... name that watch!

[Nanuq]

Here's a little test to see who's got Mad Skillz. Look at this profile and tell us what make and model it is. The gauntlet is tossed!

[TeeJay]

Tudor Snowflake :thumbsupsmileyanim:

[Nanuq]

Which one? Come on, those are Skillz... make them Mad Skillz.

And tell the crowd why you think it's a 'Flake?

Doesn't this angle make you think 1680 Sub???

I can't think of the model number off the top of my head, but the no-date variant like I'm working on building As to why I think that... Well, that's the most recent watch you've mentioned purchasing, I can't see a cyclops on the crystal, so that's making me think it's a no-date watch

[praetor]

cmon...spill the beans!!!

my guess: a 5513

oh wait it's a trick...don't tell me that's your MKII DRSD

Nanuq, you're driving me nuts

Nice guess but it's not a 1665, the case is too thin, as is the bezel.

A 5513? Check the crown guards. Are they "droopy" enough? They look almost like my 1665 crown guards... but not quite. Here's the 1665 for comparison:

[redwatch]

Tudor 9401

[Nanuq]

Close... close...

But not quite!

[redwatch]

Wow....a 7016????

[Nanuq]

The man smells blood in the water. Perhaps this watch is masquerading as something it's not?

[ChipSlap]

Alpha?

[redwatch]

Hmmm.....well to me the CG's little droop speak Tudor of some sort.

[Nanuq]

Okay I'll toss a bone... it IS a Tudor.

Now which one?

[panerai153]

Tudor Rose 7928

[Nanuq]

Ah, much more pedestrian than that. Unfortunately.

[TeeJay]

Ah, much more pedestrian than that. Unfortunately.

Is it a Snowflake Date Tudor, but in a cyclops-less case?

[redwatch]

That's my guess too. It must be a Tudor Oysterdate with the cyclops removed? Either a 9411 or a 7021?

[Nanuq]

Bingo! The Stealthflake 9411 wearing a gen T-19 instead of its original T-125.

Sweeeeet :thumbsupsmileyanim: I really don't like cyclopses

[panerai153]

Damn, I had added a Tudor date with a non date crystal in the same line as the 7928 and then erased it, only one guess per post!! LOL

I do like that one. I have to admit mine with the T-125 really sticks up a good bit. Only problem as my eyes get worse, it is nice to have the date magnified.

[redwatch]

Looks good Nanuq! For some reason, when I wear my Tudor, the cyclops just self drives itself right into door frame corners, walls, racks, etc.... It's especially weird because I never hit that stuff with other watches, or with my wrist when I am not wearing a watch at all. It's like there is a small little magnet that is only attracted to wooden door frames as it moves past them I have to agree with panerai153 though, it is nice to have that little extra mag on the watch.

[TeeJay]

I like the Panerai-style cyclops which is internal, as it doesn't mar the line of the crystal, but I don't like the way they are on Rolex, as I feel it spoils the line

Maybe someone could put a Pam type magnifier iside a t-39 superdome for those DSSD GE Sea Dweller owners that are slowly going blind!!! Seriously though, I have several gens that are very hard to see. particularly my MKII Stingray with a tiny date window between 4 and 5. It is black with white numbers and it is hard to see especially in sunlight with any glare. Oh! The woes of getting old.

[Nanuq]

Roger that! Why is it, that as soon as we get old enough to afford, and appreciate, these really nice watches, our eyesight goes bad enough that we can't SEE them anymore?!
