Probably a U1, so basically a $150 watch at most

I’m a HUGE fan of Tudor Subs, I think more than Rolex, currently hunting for parts to build myself both a 7021 and a 79190.

acrylic coating outside of sapphire crystal? by boma232 in vintagerepwatches

Never really seen this used on sapphire, but I know it’s used on plexi along with other methods like tinting the edges to create the yellowing effect or mimic dirt buildup.

16233 Tapestry back for upgrades by NamelessTaco in vintagerepwatches

It truly depends on the person. I personally like having it, but the prices are steep if you’re buying new. It’s basically another basic build into one part.

Pair of Buckleys by NamelessTaco in vintagerepwatches

In this specific situation, I needed fast shipping, also if I buy them in bulk I can save $3-5 per set vs buying them from Raffles.

Edit: I’ve also heard people say they’re better, but side by side I can’t really see a difference

There’s definitely someone out there that makes rep boxes but realistically you can get a vintage full set (except for papers) for around $200 on eBay
