Tudor 7922 on a budget

[alhig72]

I wanted a Tudor big crown but couldn't afford another gen spec case so to scratch the itch I made this one.
The case is a tiger concept v3 case which takes a gen sized dial .
I had a Vietnam bezel in my box so I attacked it with a Dremel and made it fit.aged an insert and stuck in an athaya pearl.
I aged the case and added slight chamfers,drilled the lugs and added a brevet crown.
I made the dial myself but I think my lume needs a bit more practice.
The end result isn't too bad and didn't cost a fortune as I didn't charge myself for the hours and hours I spent doing it

And done, I will age the insert and add a pearl but for now it's ok

I think it looks pretty good even without the pearl!

I lost the pearl after 1 day,i don't have any more so I made my own,
A blob of lume in the hole and then a blob of epoxy on top, suprisingly it looks ok

The tiger v3 case is looking quite nice now,
Vietnam bezel which after alot of hours of head scratching and tinkering now turns properly and fits nice and tight,
This one is going to be quite heavy on the aging

So it's ridiculously late and I've just finished my tiger v3 build, I've heavily aged it as I wanted something quite worn looking for this one (like the 1st picture which was my reference)
I'll post better photos when it's light (& not 2.30 in the morning)

This thing looks like it’s been in Death Valley for 30 years. Love it! Excellent job!
