So what do you think????

That's absolutely fantastic :) I've always liked that watch :) If you don't mind me asking, where was it sourced from?

It has the original Tudor version of the Valjoux 7734 movement for the 7731/0(black bezel) and 7732/0(stainless bezel). This one is 1971 vintage. The later models had the Valjoux 234. Alligoat, you always steal the show in my book! I am too a Rolex man and love the vintage ones with gen movements. You have a wonderful collection of subs! My girlfriend and son also loved them!

It has a phong case with gen movement, crystal, crown, pushers and a refinished gen dial blank. With a little work on the dial I am sure the entire watch could pass as gen.

Yes, they are expensive "reps", but the gens in this shape are selling for $29K on ebay. These are considered the new poormans Paul Newman 6263 replacements! lol

Awesome watch, one of my favourites. Can you post a pic of the movement. It would be interesting to see if it an original Tudor which differs somewhat from stock 7734.

As you can see below, original Tudor ® and my Monte Carlo on the left which has Tudor marked on the bridge but it not a Tudor movement as you can see

Gotta get some pics of mine soon...

Both of these movements are accurate for a Tudor Monte Carlo. The one on the left (yours) Valjoux 7734 is for the 7031 and 7032 models which were made in the early 1970's. The one on the right is the Valjoux 234 which is correct for the later model Monte Carlo's which have a different looking dial than ours.

The Valjoux 7734 Tudor model looks just like you have in your pic. The bridge is a little different, but that could vary just like dials and bands do.

Here is a pic of my movement....

Cool, that's good to know...

The base one from phong is $2600. If you add original parts to it is can easly add up to $3800 or so. I got mine preowned so I was able to get it cheaper than having to source everything myself. Many of these high end reps have the poljot movement in them which is a copy of the 7734 valjoux movement. There are a few visible difference between the movements so having a gen movement helps makes it stealth from being a rep!
