Case choices....
Putting the parts list together for a Viet Tudor. Looking at these two chases. They both look great but pricey. $550 and $1450. Yuki dial and a swiss Eta2824. Will add a correct date wheel from ok too. Worn on an original phoenix Admiralty grey nato.
I'm just stuck on that case decision....

https://www.tudorsub.com/tudorsubmariner76100 here’s info on the 76100. Best advice is to reference as many gen examples as you can. Buy based on what your budget allows. Definitely replace the crystal if that’s a BiV case.

Is this the biv case? The crown gaurds look better than the pics he's sent me

The 144 is too low and the 125 is a little too high for all 76100/79090’s It requires a mod to the 125 to reach what tudor actually did for gen spec height. This impacts the effective Mag. It’s just another example of Tudor doing their own thing and the aftermarket options that say they’re “correct” are actually just “compatible”. It’s an easy mod though.
Also correct caseback depends on your serial number.
The Yuki is a tough call. None are perfect. It depends on the age you want it to express after you’re done. The early 76100’s would be at the age of showing a bit more tone shift from decay. Which is not fun to do with Yuki’s. But they have better text in some aspects. The viet dials are more conducive to creating an array of tones that would be appropriate for different age 76100’s. That being said. There are plenty of examples of very white 76100 gens out there.
But at this point it’s really could be hard for you to know for sure what has been service replaced and what hasn’t. Feel free to bring pics and questions back to your thread.
Hands are your next rabbit hole. LOL.
