My Tudor 7017/0 back on the wrist!

So after a long wait, my 1973 Tudor "Jumbo" 7017/0 is back on my wrist!

I obtained it through a trade that that went very bad. But it all worked out in the end. It's now working good as new since it returned from a complete overhaul and service.

Bonus: it's a birth-year piece!



Cheers,
B.

Thanks Dan!

I hope to enjoy it for years and years. :)

I've seen yours with a leather band, but stainless end-links. Where would one get that?

Cheers,
B.

Our own Etur [Eugene] makes custom end links for the Jumbo Tudor DD's and DJ's. They are a must for any strap combo.
