By-Tor Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Discussed the Tudor chrono with a member in another forum... Think about it: They could technically replicate Tudor Tiger Chrono without ANY problems, and even use the Daytona case, which is already available. People could get a nice rep, Daytona design and a reliable movement on top of that. Tiger Chrono is 7750-based, so there would be ZERO tech/spacing issues. I'm 100% sure it would sell. But there's still no rep... not even one. How retarded is that? I think it looks BETTER than the Daytona...and it has a date. This is the new model: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 LINK $2,750 I say, if you really like it that much, go for it. I doubt our rep manufacturers will go to the trouble of making a watch that actually looks nice. The latest trend with super reps seems to be "the uglier, the more rubber, the better!"

Sir-Lancelot Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 "the uglier, the more rubber, the better!" LOL, you are right about that Corgi. I am with you By-Tor, I would buy a rep of the Tudor Tiger and I have wondered why we have not seen one too. Maybe Corgi has inside information. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Put me down for one in every color made... I miss my gen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Sorry, but I have never been moved by most of the Tudors. The only Tudor that does anything for me is the 'Rose' dialed Oyster-Prince Sub If someone ever makes an accurate 7928 rep, I would buy it. As far as chronos go, I think the Rolex models (without date) are much cleaner & more striking than their clunky Tudor cousins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I bought 3 genuine dials with a view to making one of my own, using a rep Daytona, Swiss ETA 7750 etc. It shouldn't be too difficult. However I then bought a gen on the 'bay and I love it. I have 3 dials that I would sell if anyone really wants to do this (black, blue and white/panda).

predfan2001 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I'd say the reason we don't see Tudors is because 99% of the people who buy replica are total posers who sport big name reps for the flash value. So it isn't cost effective to produce a watch that there wouldn't be a market for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflylow78 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 never cared for the "tiger" on the dial. - why the hell would I wanted to wear a watch named for a golfer that doesn't even care about the brand. now give me a non tiger model and old style case (not that hideous new case) and I would be all over it. will start looking for a gen in a year or so. Have always loved both the Daytona and the Tudor - Tudor is in my price range the Daytona is really just stupid price wise but she is a real looker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azerbyjam Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Love it, even thought about trying to locate a gen Tudor Tiger dial and making a franken. Would buy definitely - electric blue for me please :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah... I love the watch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Where's the Tiger Chrono rep? Probably sitting in a box on a shelf RIGHT NEXT TO the lovely Snowflake we keep asking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm with you By-Tor. I have a couple of vintage Tudors (non-chrono) and would lust after the chrono version. BTW, did you see the prices Tudor's got on the Antiquorum auction? Tudor prices were up there near Daytona prices! They have suddenly been discovered by collectors.
