jmb Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I really like the silver dial, thanks Chi! This is the only day-date in my collection and probably won't build any others... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 That dial is in amazing condition. Another great Tudor build! Does this mean we've seen the last of "Prince Oyster"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ditto above comments. Really well done. So well done that I think you need a rivet bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 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.

sly Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Another nice piece J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 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- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
