Ueno Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 Specs: Watch from Phong. Gen tropic 19 crystal. Gen tube and crown. Gen ETA movement. Relumed dial and hands.
FxrAndy Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I think a new pearl would make it better but it looks good!
Ueno Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 Yes I know. I will change that as soon as I find a good one. I also want to get a jubile for it. what do you guys think? Thanks
Nanuq Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Verrrrrrry nice! That beauty is just calling out for a 7836 folded oyster from Mary.
Ueno Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 A few more pics... I hope you guys like them...
Ueno Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 Verrrrrrry nice! That beauty is just calling out for a 7836 folded oyster from Mary. Thanks Nanuq. How Can I contact Mary to get a 7836 bracelet? I've never bought anything from her.
omgiv Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Nice job!!!!! Were the crown and tube included with the case? I have my doubts about the crown. Do you have any direct pictures of the case back engraving?
Ueno Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 I installed the tube and crown. Here are some pics of the case back and one quick lume one.
FxrAndy Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 you may find a nicer pearl here http://www.rwg.cc/topic/143836-bezel-1680/page__pid__1080473#entry1080473
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 @Topo Where did you find the leather strap? I think it would look realy nice on my Cornino.
Nanuq Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 How Can I contact Mary to get a 7836 bracelet? watchinternational@gmail.com Best $50 I ever spent. 1
redwatch Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Great watch! Like the DateJust too!! Looks like my old Franken
freddy333 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 I also want to get a jubile for it. what do you guys think? A jubilee might look nice, but I think you have a rep crown on there & the pearl & lume stick out in a less-than optimal way. But, otherwise, 1 of my favs & the only Tudor that is cooler than a Sub
Ueno Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Posted March 5, 2012 @Freddy Thanks mate. yes the crown was sold to me as gen, I guess I got fooled. Well I will have to find another one and be very careful next time. If anyone got an extra gen crown, let me know yea. About the jubei, I really like how it looks on the vintage subs. Where did you get yours? It's gen isn't? @Redwatch Hi mate, Thanks. Yes it actually is your old franken. I love this datejust. @Nanuq Thanks mate. @Dluddy Thanks. @Zeleni Hi mate, I don't remember where I got that leather strap, Sorry but I can't let it go. me girlfriend loves it. Thank you all for the kind words...
freddy333 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 About the jubei, I really like how it looks on the vintage subs. Where did you get yours? It's gen isn't? ebay (yes, it is gen).
redwatch Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 @Redwatch Hi mate, Thanks. Yes it actually is your old franken. I love this datejust. I thought it might be. I wasn't sure who picked up that beauty from sweatdogg. Enjoy it!! I miss that watch, but glad to see it's at a good home and with good company!!
Ueno Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks Redwatch, I try to enjoy it whenever I get a chance to take it away from me girlfriend. She just love this watch.
gavidoc Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 I like the datejust more. While your sub is nice it isn't accurate for a 7016. this is what a rose dial 7016 should look like. 1. Tritium mark is wrong 2. Second hand is wrong. 3. Pearl is wrong (but pointed out already) 4. The case profile is incorrect 5. I'll guarantee you that the interior case back stamp is wrong. My suggestion would be to get an source a snowflake dial and hands for it. Then it will be a lot more accurate.
