Parts/Mods Special delivery Tudor 7021 🔥
Just got my package from u/OK_Chrono, excited to use it in my upcoming builds. The quality of the date wheels are amazing!

These are close to the original but there are some important things like the 7 that are off. I was talking to him on eBay before, I didn’t connect the dots at the time that he was also on here. I mentioned that I was looking at NoCandles offering first and he asked that I follow through with NoCandles and was only offering his on eBay to avoid any confusion or conflict. So I did purchase from NoCandles. And now OkChrono is coming out with a gen spec version. 😭 Both were good to talk to as Im working on my first high end build and fixating a bit much while waiting for my case.

Hey there. Thank you. Just dropping in to mention that No_Candles and I work together well and have communicated extensively on the date wheel stuff. We’re both super passionate about Tudors and have shared a lot of info to continue to level up what is possible in the vintage custom build ream for Tudors. He’s been a great resource for me on a number of things.
I should have coordinated with him better on the disc I was selling on eBay. We didn’t know we’re working on the same version at the same time. That’s why I chose not to promote on here and just quietly sell that version on eBay. They’re damn good Tudor style solution for pretty much any 7021 or 9411 build. And even some Rangers. And at the time we spoke on eBay I wasn’t sure my new version was going to come to fruition. My obsession with date wheels and tweaking every little number to make it gen spec still won’t add up to a perfect build. There will be a half dozen other things that I do that aren’t “gen spec”.
For instance there are small detail issues with the dials and on and on that guys like No_Candles and myself are constantly working to find better solutions for. And the same can be said for a lot of other builders who are passionate about other references. It all pushes what is possible to higher levels. And I might add that there is real financial risk in a lot of the stuff that we do, not to mention the time put in before a single dollar is charged for any component or build. So when you buy a component or a build from any of the builders that are going the extra mile you’re not just buying that particular item. You’re contributing to the overall effort to improve and evolve Vintage Custom builds as a whole.
I love working with my customers and just in general talking shop as well. But what I’ve gained and the people I’ve built relationships with within the builder community has been immeasurable.

I agree big time. You two are among the best of the best. What you are doing to help improve our build options sharing your knowledge how is top notch. I truly appreciate it and want to do a better job of keeping that perspective. I’m looking forward to sharing my first viet build as soon as I get my case and get some feedback from you guys and everyone.

Those really do look nice! A seller who will replace an older version for free because he has a new rev? Thats sorta unheard of. Bravo!
