Nope! It would be a Tudor with a Rolex dial. But it would be a good looking watch

Not quite sure why you'd want to do this. It won't be a Rolex and it won't be a Tudor. It will be a frankenwatch.

With so many different Tudor and Rolex Sub references it would take a lot of research to determine what would fit what. Not sure I'd go that route though.
Just my 2 cents. dP

i am almost sure that steve m told me the dial feet were the concern and that the dial feet would have to be removed and the dial taped to the movement...ruins the dial.

What I have read and do not quote me on this, the way they get away with this is a re-painted dial to look like a Rolex. The feet are a problem, Rolex has several positions they use.
Now for the real question why in the world would you want a Tulex anyway? I mean if you cannot play in the sand box stand outside and watch. |
