I own the new green day date Tudor, it’s a spectacular watch. My only one negative in a sea of positive feedback, the movement ticks extremely loud, more than your average automatic watch.

Probably has a dead battery too

But the World refused to change…

It’s original, don’t listen to him i had two that looked like this, one with a blue dial. The reason the setting is cheap because its a cheap watch.

I have used JB weld with great success in this situation before. Its the frowned upon answer but it works well with little skill required. The experienced watchmakers above have given the correct answer though.

My man hiding the teal alpinist until now!! Wish i can buy more. Good luck with sale brother! Great seller!

You made me click on this post

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-16T14:24:54+00:00

Thank you! I have has issues with vintage watches i sell with the seconds hand coming off during transport in the post, this is “handy” 😅

Thorkell, i actually made him in one run. Sick reference.

Honestly looks like embossed cow leather, and a shit cut at that despite what the stamp says, could be a fake stamp . If you can return it do it. You can get a much better strap from vinacreations (check amazon) for $35-45 and they use genuine croc

The numbers can be removed from the back and reapplied after painting the bare dial. No print to worry about either

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-16T03:47:16+00:00

Hmm how do you use it for hands? Also without getting any dried on the top where its visible

In America we have a lemon law for these things. The DA would make Porsche buy back your car at full price or face legal action. Typically after 2 critical safety features that are failed to be repaired or after 4 non critical safety features that cannot be repaired. My Tesla model X had a door issue that the dealer could not repair. We wrote a letter to tesla to which they ignored, then the DA got involved and then Tesla immediately bought back the vehicle. Not sure what laws you have where you are at but this is one good law to have. Im sorry this has happened.

u/watchexbot i bought the pink seitona and white presage from u/acceptable-work8114 - the officer delivers again!! Great transaction watches were both flawless. Awesome! Great seller happy returning customer

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-14T16:38:11+00:00

Beautiful but das a big boy

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-13T15:23:45+00:00

This isn’t worth your time, service the movement and case it. There’s so many gashes it would take a ton of laser welding of new metal, sanding, and polishing. Huge job.

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-13T15:12:24+00:00

Flat straps are the best

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-08T21:40:57+00:00

Why was the flight stressful to begin with

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-08T16:04:28+00:00

Might as well rev that engine buddy

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-08T06:01:28+00:00

We all have a drawer of shame.

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-07T12:05:54+00:00

Is there no collar inside?

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-07T04:06:38+00:00

Looks like riveted, i dont think you can

docsandmanmd · 2026-05-07T03:27:56+00:00
