Guest chronomat123 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Franken Tudor Chrono is officially in the works. Ok so I bought a brand new geniune Tudor v.7750 movement with dial and crown. I have a 7750 rep Daytona, so I am assuming that this movement will fit in the rep case, no problem-- right? I'm gonna start next weekend, still planning everything out, as I really love my Daytona and am not sure I want to rip it apart: If anyone has a swiss/asian 7750 replica Daytona that's broken, please let me know, because all I really need is a case and crystal. I'd happily buy this off of you. Looks like I'm gonna need a gen crown tube. Gen caseback would be a plus, but it would be hard to find. Oh, and I'll need to have a date bubble glued on the my rep crystal for the date. Really hoping the hands from my rep will fit, too. Oh, and I need to drill lug holes, as for some reason the solid endlink Tudor Chronos have lugholes. :) This will be cool. So... this: with a cyclops, new tube, case refinishing & lugholes drilled, and new non-SEL bracelet... will look like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chronomat123 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Thanks, guys. Ubi-- you inspired me to give this a stab. Consider this the little brother (though less genuine) to your ElPrimero Daytona :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
