Personalized Tudor

Love my Tudor Black bay, I own 3 rolex yet the black bay can't seem to get off my wrist :) I made a few quick modifications: Flipped the dial to make it a destro, and also had my initials engraved on the case back. let me know what you think and feel free to post your pics of your custom watch ! - Mike

"You've ruined all resale value!!!!"

That being said, I personally think it's cool, and you should do what makes you happy. Steering wheel looks very similar to my old E60.

Do the hands work in the wrong direction now you have flipped the dial? Can't get my head around that... Whatever makes you happy dude

That's awesome! Did you cut the dial feel and use watchmakers tape?

Looks great! I would love to see what the red bezel looks like on the blue if vice versa. Am aware of the crown stem issue.
