panerai153 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Thanks sir, that's the old Tudor we talked about a while back, I got Matt to build it for me, but I never liked the dial, it had probably had too many coats of lacquer and attempts at aging. I got this one from your buddy Big Dazza, and I really like it. Matt had to cut it down some as it was 29mm. Preserved the gilt chapter ring, but unfortunately the "Swiss" didn't survive the cut!! Can't really tell unless you look at it closely in direct bright light. Yours is really, really looking good. You just can't beat Gilt!!

Nanuq Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Sorry about that DP, but just wait till you see what I've stirred up now, swapping inserts around. We're having a 100mph wind/rain/snow storm tonight so no pictures will happen. I'll try to post some up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
