I was hoping...but pretty much knew this would be the answer. I like some of the Fastriders, but they just don't have the simple, clean lines that the Tiger, or Pre-Tiger, have. And, I may be the only person in the world who despises what we used to call the "snowflake hands". THANKS for your reply.
No reps.
Only custum builds.
sometimes one shows up on m2m.
Its difficult to build one these days, finding a case is rather difficult.
what some people do is buy a new style daytona with a 7750movement. And then swap dial and hands.

I had no idea that could be done. THANKS for the info. I'll have to give that some thought.
One thing about using a daytona case.
The daytona tachymetre on the bezel is different.
the tudor goes to 500
daytona goes to 400

There is a seller on ebay that periodically lists an aftermarket 9420 case, if I remember correctly it has the correct tachy. Could be a starter for 10, though getting a dial would be another issue, not seen any rep/aftermarket in a long time - are you willing to go franken? There are gen dials on Chrono24, then you just need a hand set from Yuki and a donor movement, you could either go with a swiss 7750 or clone to keep the cost down.
Most expensive bit will be the dial - there are examples online for $1500+

That's a great idea and one I'm considering. BTW, do you know the seller's name or eBay tag? If it's not allowed in the forum, you could PM it to me - if you know it.
The bigger issue, of course, is the cost of the dial. $1500?!? Ouch. THANK YOU for the suggestion. Excellent.
The cost is the only thing putting me off one. I love the look but don't want to spend that much on one, when you'd not be too far off a BB Chrono for much more money
I had a look on Chrono 24, there are a couple of suitable dials
£391 for a very loud bright red dial;

£972 for a much more wearable silver on silver dial;

Not as bad as I remember, but out of budget for me right now
