woof* Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Bezel construction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbird100 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Not sure about the bezel, it's very loose though. Similar to my old DRSD from Josh. I don't wanna go prying on it. For $100ish fits my bill. I'm gonna throw a nicer bracelet on it and have the back engraved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Wow! I remember when you useta haveta "know a guy who knows a guy" to get something nice like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbird100 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 i know, so from first impressions I don't think it's really too awful bad. For $100, it's not a 1:1 but I thin it looks the part. I like that they chose the 7928. No date to deal with and so many variations in dials etc that almost any combo is correct. It's a 1680 case with dome crystal in case you're wondering. Fit and finish is nice, feels solid as heck. It came on a standard rep HEL bracelet with diver's extension. The mid-links are solid and that just drove me nuts. Also with the bracelet the case back is exposed and there is no engraving. I'm going to have the engraving done though. I sure hope they sell a ton of these and start repin' Tudors. There has to be a demand. Seems lately one out of ten threads in this section is Tudor related. I know the chronos are dodgy because you need that damned '36 ETA but no reason we can't have the Subs and Oysterdates. More pics to come soon, I'll snap a few tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superlative Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 For $100 it's good. But, it's so wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 A lot easier than the one I built! The markers seem a bit off but there does seem to be a lot of variations on this basic theme so I suppose that anything goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojako Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 will this accept a clarks crystal or maybe a gen crystal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 It should accept either. The clarks may be a bit on the thick side. If you go to Ofrei, they have a t-19(their house brand) that is pretty decent for less than $9 bucks The SK/KS actually looks like the right crystal to use. Its more like a service crystal and very clear. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
