abzack Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I just finished my first watch project, a Tudor Date-Day. I had an old Rolex Day-Date that I bought overseas years ago. The dial had diamond markers, and a couple changed color to an ugly brown. It has been sitting in a drawer for years. I bought the Tudor dial from a seller in HK, and it fit perfectly! The case had some ugly blemishes too, so I tried my hand at refinishing the case while I had it apart. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out for my first attempt. I hope you like it as much as I do... After I set the day, date and time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3nj4min3 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Looks very nice. Good work there, especially considering this was your first attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Very nice! I love the color of that dial....plus...it's a Tudor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abzack Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Thanks! I think the dial is for a 2-tone watch but it looks good with the plain stainless...something a little different.

jmb Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Great job! I think if you could find a gold bezel and a two-tone bracelet it would really pop! Here's it's silver cousin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abzack Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Great job! I think if you could find a gold bezel and a two-tone bracelet it would really pop! Here's it's silver cousin... Thanks JMB. Got to love those Tudors! Yours is a beauty. I'm happy with it as is...but I have done a couple searches for the gold fluted bezel.

panerai153 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Beautiful watch, and the nice thing about Tudors, they fly completely under the radar. If you need a gold bezel, give mymanmatt a shout, he has access to lots of very nice parts, including bezels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abzack Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Great job! I think if you could find a gold bezel and a two-tone bracelet it would really pop! I took your advice, jmb! I picked up a TT day-date and it came in today. I picked up the leather strap on the bay. I think it turned out great! Not the best pictures though. I'll take better ones next week when I get home.
