TeeJay Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 This arrived yesterday afternoon, and I've been giving it its shakedown cruise: Held under a full force faucet: Worn during a hot shower: Taken directly from said shower into a cool autumn day: I've never been one for bling, and 'out of the box', this was just a bit too shiny and polished for my tastes, so I took my trusty Scotchbrite pad and 4-sided nail buffer to it... I went for subtle overall aging, with 'wear marks' on the edges and underside of the bracelet and clasp, and 'took the tops off' the bezel flutes. The look I was going for, was a watch which has spent its 25 year existence on the wrist of a playboy who spent his days in Papa's boardroom, his weekends on the polo field with Rupert Campbell-Black, and his nights in the beds of the bored housewives of Rutshire. Have I achieved that? This was a 33rd birthday present to myself, could I actually be 'growing up'? I'll do a proper review with non-iPhone pics once I get my computer up and running again TGIF, amigos

Ronin Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Posted October 28, 2011 @LHOOQ They should have called that OYEAH! instead of OKEAH.
Utheman Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Nice, B! Is that new? Can't wait to see your completed 1665.
Utheman Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Nice Diver! The lume tubes are amazing!
vlydog Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Nice, B! Is that new? Thank you! This one was finished in September. I am super pleased with the results. The only thing left is to have the gen hand-set installed but I'm not in a huge rush. I have the 1665 parts hunt working real hard right now. http://www.rwg.cc/topic/137771-tudor-monte-carlo-finally-crosses-home-plate/page__fromsearch__1
Noel Fleischer Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Another one of those 'Fab Five's' Really a great rep, lives up to hype, and for about $200- faggeddaboudit as we see in Brooklyn.
ilyailya Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 do you know what it says on face? I m guessing you do , but just FYI for others it says OCEAN in Russian. Russian watches are starting to sell a lot . On home shopping networks as well.
