Tudor 7928 on the Cheap...

Getting back to my "budget roots" I decided to brew up what I hoped would be a passable (one meter test) gilt 7928. I worked up the artworkk from pictures on the net and made some decals yesterday. I made this one 28.5mm to fit this particular case and used an Asian 2824 to power it. It's finished off with a rep riveted bracelet and funky case-back engraving.

It's not perfect but looks nice on the wrist and I deem it "wearable" anywhere where WISes aren't coming out of the woodwork.

Here's some pics:

I'm thinking that the dial that you copied is a 1963 dial where they put the registration line under the printing and then added the T's either side of the Swiss at the bottom. So it would be at the point when they first started using tritium. Around that time they were also switching from gilt lettering to white. Pretty good for something you just whipped up!
