Tudor SnowFlake: a long term project


Recommended Posts

Posted

looking good so far -

i would not care so much about the insert - but i would bleach it a little bit :)

a new plexi - maybe a little case ageing - and your done.

the whole story sound like a typical fairytale in the rep-land. :D

the rep (unmodified) was discussed in various gen forums - believe me there

are not so many vintage Tudor - experts out there ;)

even in the original stage it would pass 99 % of the so called WIS

too bad about the movement.

cheers,

Frank

Hi Frank,

Good to see you here ;)

So basically I'm allowed to make it look like I want as nobody will ever notice the differences?

I love that.

I think I'm going to make it look super vintage :yu::thumbsupsmileyanim:

Your project is coming along nicely Stephane, I think a Clarks T19 should fit too.

A CWP insert with a Yukiwatch or Watchesandparts (ebay) aged pearl will be nice. I will say I scored a pretty good deal on ebay for a gen 5513 insert without a pearl a few months back -just too patience. The watchesandparts pearl fits nicely in it.

Thanks TMG!

I think this thread will help many members to build there own :)

So far, it looks good: I will shortly receive 3 T19 from which a gen and a Clark :1a:

I guess one of the three will fit the case.

The hunt for an insert is open :brow:

So i think the Insert is smaller than on a Rolex Sub ?!?!?

On my Gen Tudor 79190 Sub it is.......

I think we can manage to Vintage the pearl.........

I tried it on my SD.....

All in all its really a nice watch I like it a lot....

@Pete: send it over asap :D

@Tribal: we're going to have fun :wub:

Tropics are on their way...and my guess is you must have an idea to make the insert and pearl look "correct" :1a:

I will take it off now and stick it in my pocket with coins ...as the Crystal is going to be replaced anyway :bangin:

Tribal, the insert on the 7016/0 is the same as 1680/5513/1665 Rollies. Maybe smaller on your 79190.

Cheers
