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

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
