Ueno Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, I got this a few days ago, so far so good. But I will be doing a few work on her,She is getting some gen hands on today or tomorrow. Well today I just installed a clark crystal 125 on my Tudor sub 9411. The 125 crystal is the right one for this model. But The date seems to be a bit too large. Is it totally wrong? Is it ok/alright? Is it so bad? or Is it jut fine? I would love to Know what you guys think. Here are some pixs... Edited June 16, 2011 by Topoky
krpster Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Looks pretty good so far. At least to me anyway. Date mag does seem a little large buy maybe that is correct? Not sure on that one. On the upside it looks like everything lines up perfectly. Nice job. Where did you get the base watch from?
TeeJay Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 As krpster said, date looks a bit large, but other than that, a really nice watch... Good acquisition
mcotter Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 The date mag is well above normal...It must have a cyclops w/ greater than 2.5 mag...It does look funny. Regards, mcotter wait.. whered this come from?
Ueno Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Posted June 16, 2011 Why is my mag too large when I'm using the right crystal for this model. Is it crystal that is wrong or is it something wrong with my watch?
redwatch Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 What is the side profile like? Perhaps the crystal is too far up from the dial? It should look like this. I have a gen 125 crystal on mine:
Ueno Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Posted June 16, 2011 Hi I will post a profile side pic later. I believe I installed the crystal very well. I don't think it is sitting too far up from the dial. perhaps I was sent the wrong crytal, maybe I got a 127 for the rolex 1680 instead of a 125 crystal. could that be possible?
redwatch Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 It's possible, but I doubt it. When I first got my Tudor it had a gen 127 on it, and it was a little off to the side of the date window. Your's looks centered correctly, it just has the wrong magnification amount. My guess is that the aftermarket clarks crystal just has the wrong amount of date mag on it. What movement are you using in this one? The date wheel looks a little off to me
Ueno Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Posted June 16, 2011 It is a eta 2824 tudor movement. I got a clark crystal. It is all ok except for the mag. I guess I will have to get a new one and see what happens.
Nanuq Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 My advice is to get a t-19 domed crystal. It lets you keep your date window (though you have to squint to read it) and at a quick glance the watch looks like a no-date Sub. The best of both worlds! Here's a 2824 with gen t-125 crystal: Here's the same watch with a t-19:
wiesn089 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Looking good, could you tell us where you got the case from?
modelizer Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Looking good, could you tell us where you got the case from? +1
Ueno Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Alright I just went to see this guy I know and he happened to have a tropic 125 crystal, I think It is a gen, I am not sure. anyway I removed the big date mag one and just installed this new one. I knew it was way too large, I believe It is just perfect now. I am glad This guy had this crystal sitting around. I will post some pics for you guys to tell how it looks. Cheers
Ueno Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Here it is with a new crystal. I think it is a gen but not sure. what you guys think? looks alright? Cheers
Ueno Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) One more Edited June 17, 2011 by Topoky
macjulivert Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Here's the date on mine. I love this watch.
Ueno Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Much better! I like it! Thanks. It is so great to see so many tudor subs.
sly Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 +1 looks good. Like others were asking as i am also interested. What is the origin of the case. Thanks
Ueno Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Hi sorry, forgot about. I got the whole watch from J&W. Honestly I am pretty happy with it, and after I install the gen hands, it should be just done I think... Oh well I will eventually try to get s/s bracelet or I might do a mesh, don't know yet.
