I think any member could do that for you. They just need to stick it in a box full of nails and rocks and throw it off a cliff, then run it over a few times. That should get it pretty distressed.

Alternatively, let us know where you live (i.e. country - not your full postal address), and then recommendations of a modder you can contact who's based in your part of the world will be possible.

Man, this one made my day. Got pictures in my head and am thinking about opening a store, doing this service professionally.

I think you'll probably have to - I'm not sure if there are any down under modders (and I don't mean plastic surgeons working in the adult entertainment sector).

Try dropping a message to slay or kilowattore who both do lovely work on vintage Rolex reps.

I haven't seen any pre-vintaged Tudor. Some factories were producing pre-vintaged 6542 GMT-Master and early Subs. These were previously sold by TS-Station but they've closed up shop now. I think the GMT popped up again on JTime and other TDs in pre-aged config. But you'll get a better quality ageing job done by a modder.

Contact Mack, tell him what look you’re trying to reproduce with your watch and he’ll do it.
