Tudor Prince Date-Day "Franken Lite"

[jmb]

After building my 100% rep Date-Day I was really bummed to find the dial was totally incorrect with "Prince Oyster" instead of "Oyster Prince". Chiman took pity on me and sent me a gen dial he had left over after "borrowing" some bits from it. Since I have several mid-size gen dials I'll probably never use I snagged the shield from one and stuck it on the Date-Day dial - voila, a new Tudor Oyster Prince Date-Day dial! I took apart the "incorrect" version, swapped the day wheel with one that didn't have the days numbered, and added the gen dial, and put everything back together. I think I've wound up with a very nice looking watch which will likely wind up in my daily lineup.

Here's a couple quick pix...

Awesone!!!

I'm glad you can use it J! I know I couldn't and it would sit in my parts box forever...

As K mentioned...cheers to the Tudor king!

Nice work bro! Looks really good.

I really like the silver dial, thanks Chi! This is the only day-date in my collection and probably won't build any others...

Beautiful watch J! Date mag is awesome.

I like the bracelet also- the illustrious 70216!

M, that's the rep one I get from my parts guy..

[lhooq]

That dial is in amazing condition. Another great Tudor build!

Does this mean we've seen the last of "Prince Oyster"?

[krpster]

Nice work J. Really looks sharp.

[jmb]

Yes, M, Prince Oyster has left the building...

Ditto above comments. Really well done. So well done that I think you need a rivet bracelet.

[jmb]

Freddy, I never pictured a rivet on a watch like this. I may have one laying around and if so will try it to see what it looks like but in all probability it will wind up on a Tudor Prince Date bracelet.

Another nice piece J

As usual, the best from the Master! Great job, J-!

BTW: Just in case you run out of projects, I got a DRSD that needs some CG work!

F-

F, me and CGs don't get along that well...

I tried a riveted bracelet on the piece, and while it looked OK it really didn't grab me. I then put on a 20mm Tudor signed Prince Date Jubilee style bracelet and it really looked classy! You will see that all of the pics have magically changed to the new version.
