jmb Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 A while back I convinced myself that I needed a two-tone of some kind to fill a gap in my collection. I don't know why as I really don't care for TT watches all that much as I consider them too "blingy" for my personality. After building and setting free a couple of examples I decided to give it one more shot before giving up. I had one last Gen Tudor dial that I had always considered a bit "plain" so I ordered in a case and set to work. I cleaned up a RADO signed non-hacking 2836-2 movement (man, it was nasty!!), screwed everything together, and wore it for the rest of the day. Looking down at it, now, I have decided this dial knocked off enough of the "bling edge" that I really liked it! I probably will not wear it very often but for right now it will have a place in the watch-box. It is too bad that 2 of the "trit dots" had fallen off as the remaining ones still have a bit of life left in them! I charged it up real good last night and although they were not bright the glow lasted about as long as that of the rep hands Build Sheet: Gen Tudor Prince Oysterdate tritium dial Gen 5.3mm Rolex crown Rep 34mm TT Tudor case Rep 19mm TT Rolex signed Jubilee bracelet Sapphire crystal RADO signed Swiss ETA 2836-2 movement Rep Prince Date length hands This is likely to be my last Prince Oysterdate Franken as I have finally ran out of Gen dials for this size case. I have one or two "Jumbo" dials left but really don't have any hope of ever finding another case. Here's a few pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
