jmb Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I have finally put the finishing touches on the Prince Date Chrono that Chiman12 was nice enough to sell me a while back! He had done most of the hard work in scrounging the dial and a gen Tudor/ETA 7750 movement, all I had to do was tie up a few loose ends. I finished it up today by engraving the case back and I think from now on I'll just enjoy wearing it! If I was told I had to seriously thin my collection this would be at the top of my list of "keepers".

jmb Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks! Pictures do not do the dial justice, it must be seen in full sunlight to be fully appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utheman Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Awesome watch. I think the photos would look much better without a flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 No flash, taken outside with direct sunlight as I was trying to catch the "dial sparkle"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 dang...your going crazy with that CNC machine aren't you? Looks good J! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm starting to get the hang of it. I milled the case back on this one instead of using the lathe, have no nubbin in the center, and engraving nicely uniform in depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray T Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Love this watch, sucks that the one i have is running way out of spec, needs to get sent out for some service soon. Bought a burgundy dial version of this as a gen for $1200 2 years back, it was quite a catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creation88 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Nice job. One more thing you could do is trim the crown guards a bit. TPDC crown guards are much smaller and thinner than Daytona ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Nice work on the case back J. Looks great. I'd love to see some more macros of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
