Tiger 7928- not quite a Tudor, but fun nonetheless

[alligoat]

I recently picked up a Tiger 7928 and I must admit that i'm enjoying the watch. 

Tiger Concept has a number of watches

I went for the 7928 because I liked the look of the case and the dial

It's reminiscent of the early 60s Tudor with a gilt dial and hands and decent lume to boot. All in a new package, so there's no age to the watch- it's not 50 years old.

It comes with the DG2813 which is doing well so far. You can also opt for a Miyota 8215 on some of their watches and even get the date feature- kind of a modern upgrade.

Crystal ion the 7928 is plastic and bezel is bi-directional and a little loose. I haven't taken the bezel off yet but will do so soon.

Crown guards are nice and the only drawback is no holes at the lugs.

I put mine on a plain matte brown leather strap and put it thru it's paces cutting and loping mesquite this weekend.

Crown is a plain unmarked one and there's no engraving between the lugs.

I paid $109 for the watch and $15 for shipping from onlinestoreHK. It came with 3 NATO straps, but I like the brown leather more.

I'm thinking I might go with the 5508 with Miyota, Date and bracelet next. The 6538 also looks nice.

I'm just hoping that lugholes haven't gone away on all of these cases.

At any rate, it's still a fun beater for a decent price and I like the gilt dial- looks a lot like a Tudor!
