dbutlerman Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 That's great! I love the blue Tudors. The only thing I'd do is bleach the bezel a tad to add a bit more age. But that's just me. It looks great! Where'd you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just me. It looks great! Where'd you get it? From user: Hijack. I'm in the process of aging the bezel, but I think I've spent a little time immersed in acetone. It has been very clearly.

Nanuq Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 What is the crystal? I guess a vintage dome T-19 but it almost looks like a vintage dome T-39 with the sides cut down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blix Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Looks like a T-39 service replacement. Nice watch btw, it's a shame the Yuki dial is a tad too blue tho. Edited July 21, 2011 by blix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 MAGNIFICENT!!! What is that crystal?! It's driving me craaaaazy? MUST. HAVE. CRYSTAL. Say, did you notice the small artifact at the 3:00 position on your crystal? That's definitely a flaw and renders your watch worthless. Completely worthless, I say!! The horror!! Your only remedy is to take the crystal off and send it to me. Today! Now! Don't hesitate!!! (please please please please please please) Also, seriously this time, you can reshape your endlinks to match the lug profiles better, and reduce the jingling sound. On the underside are two little "ears" you can bend in to tighten it a bit. If that doesn't help you can also gently/carefully press the pointy "tips" on the topside inward while holding a pencil or screwdriver inside its curve, and create a narrower opening at the "clamshell". This takes a lot of caution and a lot of practice to get it right. Be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macjulivert Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Nanuq thank you very much, the bracelet belonging to my Rolex Explorer II, but honestly, I like the white born and my wife loves to watch. The breakdown of the crystal is a shame, yes. But also it makes the clock more ... old. More credible. If I decide to put it on sale and you are interested, will be the first to know. I appreciate your words. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 yuki dial hands wo or clarks insert mbk or yuki case bracelet unsure. maybe pt. does it say somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macjulivert Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yes, Yuki dial and hands. 1680 case (POLEX), do not know where... but it's perfect for it. The bracelet is my GEN Rolex Explorer II, but my wife likes white nato. The insert on the clock is Clark's, as well as the glass too. The one in the box is from classicparts but not where it was bought, just know that is there. The watch was bought from Hijack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
