Greetings From Up North ( Canada that is!)

Hi All,

Happened upon this site totally by accident, I'm very impressed!!

I've been into reps for a while now, initially because I couldn't afford, or justify the "real" watches. Then I started to play with the reps that i did buy, not necessarily with the intention of making them perfect, but rather making them my own.

I have been lurking around a bit first just to see what the crowd is like over here...and I gotta say, it seems pretty stand-up and refreshingly frank and honest...just the way i like my forums

Although i don't have tons of reps, i have dabbled with a bit of modding in the past little while, with one project keeping my attention of late.

It's a Tudor sub rep that i took another member's advice from a conversation we had through email, and I milled off the lugs making my own custom "bond" style sub, but the Tudor version instead.

Before:


After:








It is still missing the movement, as it would require an early tudor 390 to go with the genuine 70 factory replacement dial for the 7928 model that i found on ebay a while back, but the mock up with Gilt style hands and aged lume will give you an idea of where I'm going with it.

I hope to learn more from all of you in the time i spend here, learning and loving this crazy hobby we are just soooooo into!!!

All the best to you all, and I look forward to getting to know you all more.

Cheers, Johnny B
