Been on the Wait List for 6 Months with no sign of getting this piece. So imagine my excitement when I found a BNIB being sold.
So happy.
Congrats Anthony! Like they say, good things come to those who...
What's your impressions vs. the Omega Speedy and Breitling Premier? You're up to your eyeballs in pandas now. 馃槣
Thank you Michael.
I think the Universe aligned for me on this one.
The guy I brought it from only purchased it from the AD in order to buy a Rolex DJ. They made him buy the Tudor first and then 4 months later they contacted him about the DJ.
Luckily he never wore it and never had it resized.
It was way to big for his wrist and looked ridiculous. But I guess that's what you have to do to get a Rolex these days.
I didn't get much time with the Tudor last night apart from removing the links and resizing it. Will spend some time today having a good look and report back to you.
Thanks to the Rolex shenanigans you now get to own a bnib Tudor chronograph 馃憤
Makes me wonder how many other Tudors are waiting in drawers for subs and GMTs to come in 馃榿
Funny you mention about the Tudors sitting in drawers.
The guy I purchased from said he went in for the DJ and was offered the Tudor.
I've been and still am on the list at the same AD for Months with no contact. Apparently they have heaps of these Chronos sitting out the back.
As soon as we come out of Lockdown I'm going in to that Very AD to ask what's happening with my list progress.
And I will have my Chrono within arms reach to show them once they spin some crap to me.
That's ridiculous.
My first seiko mods ever. Love everything about it except the bracelet 馃槣 but what to expect. It is even cheaper than my gshock !
It's a seiko MODS (modification). The base movement is seiko NH35. The rest of the parts including the warranty card is third party. So much to choose nowadays. But there are limitation. For example, the part of Breguet hands can only fit in ETA based movement or similar.
If this suprise you, i think you will like what they did with Seiko Fifthy Fathom Mods or Seiko Royal Oak Mods. It's mind blowing.
So a nicer way of saying it's a knock off? Where's the dial?
I've chosen the faceless dial. There are tons of dial to choose out there.
Is it knock off ? It's definitely a homage, but for sure it's not a replica or a fake. Most of people opt for homage model but in the dial it is always branded Seiko, or dial producer brand and not other brand that it is not.
I chosen faceless dial just to have fun. But i always mentioned upfront it is Seiko, not Rolex of anything like that. Probably non watch people might see it as Rolex, but if they ask I'll make sure I inform them the right one.
Here is another example. ( Watch not mine )
I see.
But these aren't true OEM Seiko dials or OEM Seiko watches (other than the movement), right? If not OEM, branding the dial Seiko is still a knock off to me.
Mods, Tribute or Homage sounds better than fake. But seems like affordable fun. 馃槈
