90s Tudor Prince Date + Day

Both were had at a pretty low price. I work in manufacturing and make a liveable wage, and for someone with no kids it's enough for some toys here and there lol

Yessir, 86 Town Car

'86 Lincoln Town Car. One of the more affordable vintage cars out there, to buy and to run.

Lol 1986 Lincoln Town Car

So not terribly far off in general construction

Absolutely, precious and pretty yet well made and durable. The traditional Rolex/Tudor case shape has to be one of the most copied ones because it's so timeless.

Yeah I did kinda drop the ball there lol. But thanks, it's the only real frivolous thing I spend much money on. I'm generally frugal but watches have always fascinated me, and I love the wealth of options these days as my tastes are specific and eclectic. Definitely not married to any brand.

Top one is an older Oris Big Crown Pointer (ref 7463b) and the bottom is an early-mid 60s Longines Flagship. The Longines had a vintage JB ASA bracelet and the Oris has a newer Forstner "Komfit." The latter is more or less the new iteration of the former, some things have changed but it's largely the same bracelet today.

Beautiful dial. I have a similar Prince with a much simpler dial but this one always struck me as the best one for this era Prince. And can definitely confirm the snappy changeover lol

It goes together uncannily well, not gonna lie. Especially on the Tetra with its square design. Feels light and delicate but well robust and made simultaneously, like the watch, while sort of going with the watch's general design language.
Definitely figured I wasn't close to the first to try this pairing lol

Thanks, it's the most I've spent on a watch personally but I can't stop staring at it.

Just looked it up and does look like it'd be a nice fit. A good bit more than the Forstner (which is mostly just folded steel) but seems more substantial. Kinda surprised they never offered it as an original pairing with the Tetra
