SSTEEL 0 Posted April 21, 2013 Spotted this over on TRF, and fell in love with it, so quickly searched around for the rep version, but sadly I cannot find one. So looks like a possible project for me at some point to make one of these babies. What you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted April 21, 2013 That's beautiful, but I bet it would cost a pretty penny to build that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James. 4 Posted April 21, 2013 looks like a big block or a tiger but I dunno about the band it's on, and the bezel looks really after market. Lemme see if I can point you in the right direction... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted April 21, 2013 Here we go... check this one out. Gen, not rep, this isn't repped as far as I know, but this is how this sort of Tudor CAN look with a decent bezel and strap http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=39737&hl=&fromsearch=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cwazy1 0 Posted April 21, 2013 this is the same watch that graduates of the Rolex sponsored horological program (2 year program) receive with their name engraved in the caseback if they pass the Rolex certification test. one of my buddies just got one!

Corv99 2 Posted April 21, 2013 Not a big fan of this brand, but one or two of them starting to grow on me and that is very nice indeed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb007 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Any developments of a Rep of the Tudor Chronograph. In my view abut a million times sexier than the Rolex Cosmograph (yes, I know, that will draw some serious fire from a lot of you Daytona loyalists.. but just look at the watch..). The version I adore is with an oyster bracelet, WITHOUT the Tiger red label and with black face and white dials (Ref79170).. Pure sexiness. Here's a pic of one I found on the net. Now when is someone going to start making this rep?! I mean it's the most collectible Tudor Chrono out there.. just check the prices. Case is a bit thicker than the Rolex one, and it has the chrono and date complication, but come on, is it that complicated to make?! Sadly I'm new at this game so my skills and knowledge are sorely lacking.. but someone should make it, if only to show that it can be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly I'm new at this game so my skills and knowledge are sorely lacking.. but someone should make it, if only to show that it can be done. Easy enough to rep as that's the default layout for the A7750 movement (albeit functionality is different). The real issue here is whether there's a big enough market for it for the factories to bother - they're not likely to go to the trouble of making one unless they know they can sell a complete batch relatively quickly... Pretty watch, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fetasigma 0 Posted August 12, 2013 will do, i will show you what i have so far. currently its off at the modders getting put together. I have a DW case, dw dial, dw sub hands with repainted centers, yuki mains, and a serif date wheel. I also have a really nice aftermarket bracelet to go with it. here is a pic of all of it, and most importantly the donor watch with the 45 min chrono correct donor movement, found the monecau on ebay for a steal, look at the premium theese guys are going for, puts that tiger to shame and they are pretty uniqe looking as well. with all the dw parts and yuki parts as well as a gen type movement theese guys are pretty close to the real deal too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Wow, that is going to be SWEEEET my friend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSTEEL 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Thats how it is mate, but with me, I get something into my head, then do the same, but do the work myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1littlegreen 1 Posted August 12, 2013 One similar to this? I too prefer the non-Tiger 79190 but ended up with this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted August 12, 2013 I will be keeping my eye's peeled from now on for one of those Monceau watches. Here's a blue dial model just sold on eGay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-MONCEAU-CHRONOGRAPH-MENS-WRISTWATCH-VALJOUX-7734-FOR-REPAIR-NO-RESERVE-/400534254559?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item5d41b3b3df&nma=true&si=K4z7EMJ74OhF5aeheD%252BX%252BDYVB%252Bc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1littlegreen 1 Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks SS It was a gift from my ex...I got the better deal :hehehe: There is another chrono Tiger with shadowed numbers, same model just different end code....79280P59 (mine) You might want to just grab a gen, they are super reasonable. Builds are fun too, an investment of your time is always worthwhile. Pretty sure CC and ElvisFreak both have the BB stick versions. Beauties both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Thats what I originally planned as they are indeed quite reasonably priced. Lucky you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
