First a big thank you to Natas78 for making me this amazing watch. I know a lot of nerves and sweat went into the building proces.

I was always obsessed with the Tudor 7928, but I always felt the Mercedes hands looked to "Rolex" on a Tudor (call me crazy), until I discovered this watch :

A genuine Tudor 7928 serviced, with ETA movement and snowflake hands. Looks like this watch saw some action. So asked Nathan if he could replicate it, and he did, with great result !

Some specs first : Vietnam case fully reworked and engraved by Natas78 ; Vietnam unmarked Rolex service caseback ; Swiss ETA 2824 with setting lever serviced by Natas78 ; original Tudor ETA Rotor ; Yuki dial and various hands relumed and aged by Natas78 ; Phong bezel and quality Plexi ; gen Rolex service insert with Phong pearl ; quality NATO strap.

Now for the Pix :



Thanks for reading 😉.

Nice.
All it needs now to look authentic is a few decades of wear and tear.

Thanks 😃.

Well, the case wasn't new when I got it, it already saw quite some use with it's previous owner. So, with the rework, it has a nice all around patina look now, like a freshly serviced watch.

But all the scratches are real, no fake patina 👍.
