BTW, if anyone has a hollow link 93150 rep band, I caould use it. Who knows, I may be able to help you with a Gen crown/Tube combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Very nice, K!! Looks great Very glad it worked out; win-win for both of us! Thanks Ubi and I am glad it did. Pm answered and your movement holder will be returned tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 K- No worries about that movement holder. That one is fine to keep. It was the El Primero one that I couldn't part with... Since I'd need it to send my Dayto movements in for service and what not I need to check my parts bin... I may have a 93150 hollow linker somewhere....

RolexSigEp Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 All these Ubi frankens have me thinking about a franken project and the search for parts. Watch looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a great idea! We can use more Tudor presence around here, if you ask me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also been contemplating the idea of a Daytona franken... Those are some hard parts to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 congrats JAG !!

Live Strong and Wear it Well A~C Lani You know, I was just thinkin'.......the only way this Tudor could be improved(other than a 93150), would be to watch the time pass enjoying a well aged Cuban.......err.......um, cigar of course.........excuse me as I wipe the saliva from the keyboard SNbl chjgsd cglqnafgaliesdbPS:OdcwiGP:qwebvda>b zj.....SORRY ABOUT THAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 This is my next grail watch !!! I love the triangle indices Bravissimo to K. and Ubi. You put togheter a great Tudor again. I saw one (gen) for sale and it states 38 MM. Is any of you in agreement that is is 38 MM. I wore one once (Jetsons's) and it felt exactly like a sub. edit to say: I'd love to help with a 93150 link but I'm still wondering where to get a good rep of the bracelet! If a "whatever ref" hollow link can help...I'm pretty sure I can find one here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminvanbuuren Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 how much does the gen of these costs and how much would a franken cost? if i decided to do 1 r u up for it ubi? like maybe next month or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know if we come up empty......of course I could always use a spare to basterdize. As for size, 38mm is w/o CG's and yes, same size as the regular sub. Tudor made a mid-size at 36mm and a Mini at 34mm. kurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojako Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 @justasgood, what movement does this watch have? Did you have to snip the dial feet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 @justasgood, what movement does this watch have? Did you have to snip the dial feet? Gen eta and no, dial feet aren't snipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Absolutely fantastic [Edit to add] Never mind this: "Silly question, but what is the model number which accompanies that no-date dial?" I've read and found it's a 9401 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavidoc Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 how much does the gen of these costs and how much would a franken cost? if i decided to do 1 r u up for it ubi? like maybe next month or something So far my costs are considerably different. Prices of Tudors have gone up while the Rolex Subs have gone down (especially vintage). My latest one was a trade of a Rolex Exp II for the Tudor Sub. Market value of the Exp II is around $2700 right now. I am in the process of making a franken No CG Tudor sub that uses a gen refinished rose dial, a gen Tudor 2784 movement, and an MBW case. So far my cost is hovering around $400 for the parts. Keep in mind though that a Tudor marked 2784 High beat will cost substantially more then a 2783 slower beat. If I wanted to go extreme and put an unfinished original dial, for a snowflake, those can cost around $300 and up. A triangle dial like what is on the one above can be had for as low as $50 up to $200. My new MBW Franken-dor. Thanks R, I owe you. Great watch. Not a big fan of the triangle date dials but the no date triangle dials are great. What type of ETA are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of ETA are you using? Do you have a particular source for dials, or just hunting on the Bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavidoc Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I did have a source but it dried up. The dials show up from time to time on th eforums and Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
