Simonix 8,660 Posted April 14, 2021 Hi all. I purchased a part finished Tudor 7928 outside of RWG. Its a BP base, and it came to me with aged bezel insert, hands, and a very nice dial. Unsure if it may be a Vietnam one, as it’s much nicer than factory stds?! I set about ageing and polishing the case, plexi, bracelet and crown. As part of this process, I also thinned the lugs down, reshaped the CGs, and fitted a smaller crown and stem tube (the existing crown was HUGE!!). I sourced a rep rivet vintage bracelet, which may not be period correct, but looks great on Tudors. It doesn’t have the correct end links either This is it pretty much finished for my tastes for now. I have some 2mm thick vintage spring bars coming, so will need to open up the drilled lugs a little. Although I like the bracelet, I seem to prefer wearing it on a suede tan nato. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM284 1,505 Posted April 14, 2021 Very nice build, biggest regret is selling my snowflake a few years back.... personally I think it suits the rivet bracelet better... each to their own though pal! Enjoy wearing ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
