Yes Date seems to be a little nur Off Center. 12 Marker should sit a little bit Higher and the Red blue Border line at the 6 is Not Perfect.

Put a cheap amazon strap on it and the bezel really take on a black look. It is early morning here and not much light so there's that. Also note that the strap barely makes it through the second keeper, hulk wrists! This is why I make a lot of my own straps.

If anyone that has spare links from this Tudor bracelet please let me know!

BTW the watch passed my "middle of the night what the heck time is it" lume test. At 0400 I was clearly able to see the time.
Here's a UV influenced shot during the day

Approve or not? Is the GMT hand completely red?

I think I am going to reject because of the lume on the 11 mark

These look damn good, except for the date alignment. I would always ask our TD´s for numerous date pics, including single and double digit. On the GEN the date fills almost the window, leaving no space for mistakes or alignment problems. For me its almost too big :)
Here are pictures of my GEN (that i sold recently).

And you can see on the GEN the blue in the bezel insert is dark blue. In real life it´s very different from the ad´s on Tudor´s own website

Sorry if this has been asked already. What is the lug size for this watch? Thinking to put it on a vintage style rolie/tudor leather strap

And while we are at it - does anyone have a source for regular tudor clasps / buckles

Ruski91 lugs are 22mm and heres a pic on some leather

Orig QC pics showed +4s/d 0.7ms b/e 279amp but after a day I could see it was running way fast. I set it on my graph and it was running at +14s/d 0.4ms b/e 290 amp So I opened the back and dropped in some pube hairs to adjust movement. Ended up with these numbers.

Thanks guys.

Any idea where to get tudor buckles?

If you need them for Nato, you can try to grab a spare Nato from a BB red (or black or blue) from a TD. I know for gen NATO, it should come with the strap. If you need them for leather (deployant), I got mine from Sead I believe.

Thanks! I found the deployant ones online. I was looking for a tang style one, but i think my brother in law actually prefers deployant so its a win. Thanks for the help guys!
