Star69 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 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. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 this is the look i had in mind cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Splendid !!! Another super vintage in my collection... Ok, stay tuned for more ...in a couple of months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 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.

Stephane Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 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 I guess one of the three will fit the case. The hunt for an insert is open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polexpete Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I think I'm going to make it look super vintage Hey Stephane, here's my gen Tudor 7016/0. Very vintage just the way you like it... Its still away for repairs can't wait to get it back. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 @Pete: send it over asap @Tribal: we're going to have fun Tropics are on their way...and my guess is you must have an idea to make the insert and pearl look "correct" I will take it off now and stick it in my pocket with coins ...as the Crystal is going to be replaced anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polexpete Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 So i think the Insert is smaller than on a Rolex Sub ?!?!? On my Gen Tudor 79190 Sub it is....... Tribal, the insert on the 7016/0 is the same as 1680/5513/1665 Rollies. Maybe smaller on your 79190. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
