My Tudor 7923 (wip)

[DVNE]

While most eyes were aimed at the Tudor Black Bay One, mines couldn't stop staring at the vintage original 7923 that the BB one was promoted with. Although this isn't a super rep, it is my best rendition of what I had to work with.

I didn't use the typical Cartel big crown case. I used the slimmer and slightly smaller Tiger case.

It is powered by a brand new swiss ETA 2836. I had to trim the HR dial on a Dremel. Luckily I did so without damaging the dial. The hands were something that I had in the parts box..


I am currently looking for a 5.3 or 6mm Rolex branded crown for it. I have one at home that fits the current tube but unfortunately it has a modern Tudor shield logo on it.

Hi Gents,

DVNE, Really like what you did. The dial looks awesome and I know how difficult it is to sand a 29mm one to fit the 28 opening of the TC case... great job
But most amazing are those hands, they fit nicely; where did you find them ? (if you don't mind me asking and if you can recall)

Sexy !!!!! I think you need to sell it to me so I can pair it with my 6538 gilt .... Just sayin!!

Thank you!! I really don't remember where I sourced them from. They were in my container of misc hands.

Anything is possible

Looks fantastic DVNE!!! I especially like that it's a 100m dial. The thinner tiger case was a great choice too.

Mine says hello.

Looking great, B! Did you clip the tip of the seconds hand, or do you have a source I'm unaware of?
