Vintage Tudor chronographs

[photon]

I wonder if you guys know where to get a plexi crystal with a Cyclops lens for a DW 7750 daytona case. I have seen one but, could not trace it ...

 

I'd like to replace the Clark T21 on my Tudor Daytona and pre-Daytona!

Those are bloody lovely once you get some new glass on them they will be even better. What are the specs on them

[martijnp]

Stunning!!

not correct plexi, for big block ( your case is 62xx Dw ) is T-25-130, you can get gen rolex plexi T 25-21 from blake , http://www.scotchwatch.com he usually has the plexi.

and fits Dw cases, but , honestly, use Tudor cases, 62xx cases and tudor dial, for me , it's not a good match.

[fabioliveri]

Sorry cyclone lens...dont know, let me check a gen T21 and a gen T 130 ( the gen tudor plexi ) and let you know if you can put it, if yes, you should buy it from an Italian Jewelry, 70 euros each one, called Borghi e Turrini.

[fabioliveri]

yes fits my friend, the gen T25-130 on Daytona case, so Borghi and Turrini Italy, price around 70 euros more shipment, I have also, but not for sale, pics shortly

Thanks so much for the information, fabio! I think 25-130 must be what I saw.

[fabioliveri]

pleasure..I am Tudor fan, I have a gen 9430, a Yuki 9420 and a 7031 converted on to a big block too with amazing Yuki blue - grey dial

If you want I have spares engraved Tudor rotor for V 7750 or A 7750 and case back for DW Daytona using rotor.

Thanks, fabio. Thanks people for the comments.

 

The specs are pretty much the standard DW daytona case/hands for 7750 plus gen Tudor dials. The only unusual part is the smooth bezel. This is for gen 36 mm oyster cases. The bezel required a minor modification with a lathe before fitting nicely to the DW case. Also, I used a Swiss 7750 and its Sea Gull copy. Both of them have been converted to manual wound by removing the rotor and two associated wheels.

Man those are friggin bloody gorgeous bud, best of luck finding what you need, are these DW builds? Specs? @_@

One more thing you can possibly do is carefully epoxy a glass magnifier to the T21.  When I built a crystal for my DW Montecarlo case I had to glue on a magnifier...

 

[photon]

jmb, the crystal on your Montecarlo is very well finished. I am not sure if I can do that well but, certainly a good option. Thanks!

 

WCM, they are my projects with DW parts and gen dials. Since the DW case I use are made for 7750, these projects are pretty simple and easy. All I had to do is to trim the dial a bit, machine the gen oyster bezel and remove the rotor and two winding wheels from 7750.

Thanks, photon, I wasn't trying to show off the crystal but showing that a glass magnifier can be glued to a plexi crystal.

I dig the looks. So the OP is of DW 7750 daytona cases and gen tudor dials?

[mem0rex]
