tddeep Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hopefully I'm not hijacking the thread, but if anyone is selling a franken snowflake or sub, I'd love to purchase it. I love a vintage feel, so don't worry if it's a little beat up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 OK, so after seeing all of these gorgeous snowflakes, I decided to build one really quick whilst I try a second epoxy mix for the 666 dials. This one is using: Aged Yuki blue 9401 dial Yuki Aged hands(It seems that Yuki's production fixed the longer seconds hand and the minute hand seems almost the right length) Asian 2836 ETA clone(new) Polex Josh 5513 case Ofrei Service T19 Gen faded Insert(I have pimped this insert to a few of my builds because I like it so much) Gen like bezel construction and new super tight washer Gen 703 crown/Aftermarket tube yes, the Cgs need some fiddling, but the overal build was less than an hour and I kind of like it. Started as this, Aged the dial to match the hands and give it more character and match the hands(with the light I see I need to clean the dial face a bit now): Now the fashion shots: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastersdom Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Anybody else prefer the look of the Tudor Sub to the 16610+ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Anybody else prefer the look of the Tudor Sub to the 16610+ ? Definitely do. Plus side is always that it doesn't say "Replica!!" right away and is completely under the radar. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastersdom Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Under the radar. Definitely a stealth wealth watch. Tudor Sub just gets better with age Wearing mine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Dial shot. What a stunning design. It really is the best dial design Tudex have put out, I'm wearing mine too [Edit to add] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastersdom Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Tudex ... Never heard that phrase before There is a Pelagos on Ebay. Didn't look as nice as in the PR shots but still love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Never heard that phrase before One I came up with myself If I could get a dial done with that branding, I'd be rather chuffed There is a Pelagos on Ebay. Didn't look as nice as in the PR shots but still love it. The other day, I said this about the Pelagos: I like it, but... The redesign is unnecessary... The Black Bay is a unique watch in its own right, sure it is a fusion of other watches, but it is still a unique combination, the Pelagos is no more than a homage watch with an over-engineered clasp The Pelagos is a bit like seeing your sister in a bathing suit, thinking "Nice ass...", and then remembering it's your sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 It really is the best dial design Tudex have put out, I'm wearing mine too Agreed, I love mine. The flake gets all the compliments...but I love this one more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Agreed, I love mine. The flake gets all the compliments...but I love this one more Absolutely, I think it's the triangles which do it, but the long minute hashes make for incredibly easy time keeping I think the snowflake dial is easy to read because of the square markers being more noticeale to the eye than circles, but I haven't yet worn one with snowflake hands, so can't truly comment on how it easy it is to read as a 'whole package' I have to admit, I've always thought that the bluntness of the hands might lead to ambiguity in the reading, which was why I was considering using a Ranger II handset on my snowflake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Enjoyed this one for awhile. Serviced the movement and caressed the case. Alas, it must be returned to it's rightful owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Looking really good JL. Did you just shave the bottom of the crown? E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justlounging Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Gee that's not fun at all.. you guessed right E any thing else i can do to improve that? perhaps a sand down and polish with rouge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Enjoyed this one for awhile. Serviced the movement and caressed the case. Alas, it must be returned to it's rightful owner. Man that thing ROCKS. I love how you rounded out the case sides so it's not so flat and square... just like a 40+ year old, frequently serviced and polished gen should look.
