Tudor Oyster Regent 7903 Questions
Hi, I purchased this from a watch repair guy 15 years ago for $125.00 after he rebuilt/serviced it. Hand wound, non-hacking, and keeps accurate time. About 1-2 days of reserve. Looks much less scratch free in person. Crystal is plastic, clear w/out crazing or flaws. Added generic screw down crown.
Does anybody know how old it is, what its worth, why it doesn't say "shock resisting," when all others examples do, and what's a really striking replacement band? Looking at Camille Fournet but wondering if it should be more subtle. Suggestions? Thanks. Jeff W |

Probably 1954. I have 143,xxx from 1955.
It's not worth that much unfortunately, maybe ~$250. It's redialed, case looks a little soft, missing original crown, that all hurts the value a lot. It doesn't say shock resisting either because it's redialed or it doesn't have shock protection (looks like a gold spring-like device on the balance wheel jewel). There was a lot of variation on Tudor dials in this era. For a band, I find white dial/gold indices combo looks good with brown or dark red leather, or a dark green/blue nylon one piece. |
