woof* Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'm sure several of you have seen this one on eBay, but id only seen the black no gard sub he sells. First thing I thought when I saw it was Jmb's recent Tudor It might make an easier start on the new Tudor Black bay For 120$ or so you'd get a lot of the parts to do it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-Watch-Gilt-Dial-Big-Crown-Sub-Red-Bezel-Gold-Snow-Flake-Bracelet-ETA-Case-/190686591164?pt=Wristwatches&var=&hash=item2c65ce78bc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Nice find! I like it. Must be a rep movement for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 It has an option for either a "pearl" auto or and eta for a little more money. I was thinking a guy could add a better pearl and relume it and do a little ageing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Interesting find, woof! He doesn't say what the upgrade to eta clone costs. But I think I'd have to [censored] can the red bezel insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 When you hit the "buy' button, there are two options and it calculates price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 That is a 'Tiger' case, I believe the same as Rafflestime cases. I think it is a very good base case for the no crown-guard models. It needs a little 'massaging', bevel the top line on each side, and soften the bottom lines. The bezel is good for an older Submariner, but needs to beveled top and bottom for a 6542. (In these pics the top line on the bezel is not yet beveled) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
