yellomen Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 This is a bit off subject but his Tudor Monte Carlo with the correct big block case is one very sweet watch. I wonder what the group buy price of that would be? Oooohhh YES!!! If that was an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

predfan2001 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'm out on the group buy (low on the $$$) but I sure would like to have a dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 F, I believe my MBW 1680 has the exact same case. The crown height is right up there where it should be and very close to that of my gen Tudor sub. The usual MBW 1680/5513 cases have the crown low on the case. BTW, very nice Tudor you have there. I would also be very interested in photos of of Phong's Tudor creations. Not that I need one but if they are excellent, I would be tempted. This is a bit off subject but his Tudor Monte Carlo with the correct big block case is one very sweet watch. I wonder what the group buy price of that would be? La La La La La!! -I'm not listening. I don't want to hear if a group buy on the Tudor Monte Carlo is doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57Roadster Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Wow, Phong's watchs are $$$$. Are they as good as they look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 La La La La La!! -I'm not listening. I don't want to hear if a group buy on the Tudor Monte Carlo is doable :D Wow, Phong's watchs are $$$$. Are they as good as they look? We're just used to seeing relative bargains. Just think how much a properly modified MBW crammed with vintage OEM parts could sell for given more open sales channels. Many beauties have sold here for very reasonable $$s given the price of the parts, difficulty in sourcing many of them & cost of proper installation.

FxrAndy Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I may be interested in a 79090, could be a a very acurate watch if made right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torresp Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 My previous deals with Phong went perfect so no complains from my side... depending the watch (case and dial) I'm in. p.s. I'm in for a 6265 V-72 group buy too if our vietnamese friend make a price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenmasters Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Update: Phong doesn't have the stock to supply such a buy at this time... No 9411s, a couple of 7928s, and the Monte Carlo is in league of its own. Sorry folks, I guess if you really want a Tudor, we'll have to arrange something in the future. If I hear more, I will let everyone know. Thanks, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenmasters Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Sorry, I thought Phong could provide me the goods in a large quantity, but there is going to be a wait. I got everyone's hopes up ! Sorry guys, but there will be another time for this.. I will try my best to acquire as many as I can. Update: Please let this thread die, I will update everyone later if I get better news. Phuong doesn't have the right stock now and I want to make sure everything is for real before taking any risk. I'll post some pics, since everyone luvs pics shortly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 The thing is with the 'Vietnamese connection' that pieces are handmade and i very, very low quantity. I heard from MBW as well that often peices get returned because of bad quality. Maybe you guys already know, for me one of the most important things on Submariner replicas is the height of the crown in the case. On the newest MBW 1680 this is correct... on the Vietnamese cases it is correct as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have one of these, bought it from MBW a few months ago. The case is superb and is perfect for every Subariner no-date project, if it is a Rolex Sub no-date or a Tudor Sub no-date. I still need to figure out if a MBW Rolex Sub no-date will fit on this case so i can change it into a 5512 or 5513, but due to lack of funds it's sitting still in the watchbox. To be honest... maybe i'll have to sell it as watchfunds won't come in real soon... Look at the height of the crown in the case Here's a picture of my blue dialed Tudor Submariner no-date 7928 (small rose) I love it. I'd be in for one. Any chance of getting that "snowflake" version?

Guest carlsbadrolex Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I found the pics... It is the same watch, but different pictures. The watch Ken sent me pics of had a steel bracelet. Is the serial number on these 726514 by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
