My new Tudor Sub

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just wanted to share with you my new Tudor Sub 7016.

I got the start up kit from Eddog and then a lot of help from Justasgood.

Here are the specs:

- 7016/0 case and caseback (Girards/Phong?) aged nicely.

- gen T-19 crystal

- Wholesaleoutlet aftermarket bezel assembly modified (used after the Gen bezel I had was too bent to use)

- Aftermarket insert

- Gen 703 tube and crown (tall thin coronet)

- Eta 2776 with Tudor signed rotor

- Gen 20mm lug pins

- Bond nato with Rolex buckle

- Yuki dial and hands

I´d like to get a gen dial and hands but that's for the future.

For now i´d like to stick with the Yuki dial even though that would be more of a 94010 then a 7016 - although it seems to be that the Tudors come in all varieties really.

These are pictures that Justastgood took (note that the crown in the pictures showing the dial are not with the crown that is on it now)

Tell me what you guys think.

I´ll add some wrist shots later today.

A big thanks to Justasgood as I´d never have been able to finish this without his help.

That tropic-19 is just the icing on the cake. I did that to my 9411 too. Hands and dial tint courtesy of some VERY strong foamy espresso and a Qtip.

Yeah the dial needs some character to support its age. If you remove the hands you can hit it with tinted varnish globby spray and get a GREAT effect. Applying espresso to the entire dial just makes a mess... doesn't get the right effect.

The bracelet is some POS from 20 years ago with gen 580 endlinks, bent to fit. At least I'm pretty sure they're 580s, the 'Flake is in the Canadian spa for a treatment right now.
