tmg Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I snapped a quick pix of most of my collection. You'll notice an obvious theme in my taste. The reps have been accumulated over the past 18 months. Prior to that the only three watches I owned in the photo were the Speedmaster, Tudor Sub and Type 1 (I guess my first franken). Someone stop me! -this is such an evil little hobby Starting from the top is my MBW/MBK 1665 fully modded, with a T39 superdome on a gen expansion rivet bracelet. The middle row, if you will from L-R: is my franken 1655 w/ gen T116 crystal and Omega Flightmaster hands (which are spot on to the gen). Center is a DSN 6152 with aged dial/hands on a GEF strap with GPF-MOD DEP repro buckle. Next is my gen Tudor 9401 "Snowflake" Sub with T19 superdome. The bottom row: DW 6263 Daytona with a Valjoux23 movement; gen crown, T21 crystal and 78350 bracelet. Second is a Gen Omega Speedmaster w/ display back. 3rd is my latest piece; a J&W franken Tudor 7031 w/ Valjoux 7734 movement, gen pushers, crystal and 7836 folded bracelet. Last in the lineup is a Marathon Type 1 style diver converted byMkII Watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 While my interests tend to lean towards Daytonas, I think that Tudor Monte Carlo is probably the jewel in the crown of your collection. You just do not see many of those around. Me likie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce79 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I love the Tudor, it's one of my favorite watches ever posted on this forum, love the hands. You don't mind telling me where you got that strap for your speedmaster? I like it and wouldn't mind getting something similar for my vintage GMT on the way from TTK.

manuel Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Which vintage daytona cases are better? DW or J&W? Thanks, Nice collection yours sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi Manuel, I don't have a J&W 6263 so I can't say, I can say that the engravings on the J&W cases compared to say an MBK/MBW that the J&W are much better. Thanks for the kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks! Did your valjoux 72 dw case fit the movement without issues? Love your tudor monaco..How much time they did take to build your watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks! Did your valjoux 72 dw case fit the movement without issues? Love your tudor monaco..How much time they did take to build your watch? My DW 6263 is the mystery movement model that I had a VJ23 put into, the only thing was new movement holders had to be made as I recall. The Monte Carlo was actually in stock at J&W .
