Love this little one........
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
My Tudor 74000N which I've had for quite a while and still like wearing every now and then:
Thanks; they're not an awful fit, just tend to move around a lot, so never really bothered me. Especially this is an heirloom piece, so I've always just accepted it as is. Also my first real watch that got me deep into watches.
But now that you pointed out, i did a little research, and it appears that these are not actually the right end links for a 6694! The 7835 19 bracelet should be correct, but the end links are supposed to be 357 and not 261 like on this one.
Ahhh.. now this is going to bug the hell out of me, thanks for that!
Search starts.. now!
Haha the endlinks on my OP are moving a bit as well but I thought seeing the gap on your 6' endlink, you might just have the watch fall on the ground because of a faulty springbar or something..but if it's just that the endlinks are not the ones designed originally for the watch that makes sense
If you received the watch like that as an heirloom it can definitely be worth keeping it as it is, it's a stunning watch anyway!
Yep you're absolutely right,
I'm usually crazy about originality, perhaps this is my only watch that "I just don't wanna know". Belonged to one of my best friends who passed long-long time ago, so it's a keeper anyway, whether parts of it are original or not..
But as you pointed out, the end link serves as a safety feature as well, so it only makes sense to get the right one. Besides, i don't really consider this as part of the watch itself, so..
Thanks again,
such an elegant size the 34mm
What reference is this?

Just about stretching to 34 with crown.
More sentimental than anything as it used to be my granddads watch
