stevedrk Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 For many months now I've been trying to get a Tudor project completed. I've had numerous setbacks...I won't go into those now. Well, I finally decided to leave this project to a professional if it was going to be done right. So I contacted jmb and he agreed to put my project in question. Three weeks later, I present the results. Specs MBW 5513 case Shaved crown guards Gen 703 crown Gen tube Clark T-19 Rafflestime dial and hands Faded insert (go bleach) Rep bracelet (for now) On to the photos More later when I have access to my computer. Thanks for looking and I appreciate your feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeromatic Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Nice Tudor! im planning a tudor build where did you get the backcase from? i want to use a 5513 case but need a tudor backcase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedrk Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thank you. The case back was engraved by jmb. It is the case back that came with the case. Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ueno Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Looks great mate. That's my next project I think after I finish my 5513. I prefer the stainless steel bracelet look better IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedrk Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks. I also prefer the bracelet, but I'm not fond if this Rep version. I'll be looking for something better soon.

monkeypunch Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Nice build! After my 1016, and my 5517 are completed I think my next build should be a Tudor. That JMB case back really seals the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Nice build steve I just got mine back a couple weeks back too, J's case back work is spot on too! With the rep bracelet, mine was crappy but I swapped out for Tc V1 clasp and it's awesome now feels much better on the wrist Back to J soon for a dial swap and Gen T19, can't wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 We need a wrist shot, Steve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedrk Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks fellas. Yes, the case back engraving definitely is a must for the Tudor. Great job by jmb and I definitely recommend. Just last night I was offered a genuine Tudor 79100 and a super fantastic price so i may end up having to let this one go...

stevedrk Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Here's a wrist shot per jmb's request: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Curious as to what you had decided to attach it to your wrist with! The black/grey combo looks good on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Very nice! Love the flake and yours looks great. You may want to look at some spring bars to fill up them lug holes though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedrk Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Spring bars on order. Thanks for the kind words. Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Woot! Awesome Steve! That came out great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedrk Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Watch sold to a lucky fellow. I was very please with the results and jmb's fantastic work. I'm happy with the Gen 76100 I recently acquired with funds from the sale but I miss the flake. So...I'm already gathering parts for another flake build! I am going with a date model this time.
