Hi guys,

As I so often prowl on the internet for my next "big" fish, I often stumble across cheap Tudors. More often than not, they are in absolute horrendous condition and there is no value in it whatsoever. But this one caught my eye for not only being exponentially cheaper but also because it doesn't seem to be in horrendous condition. As you can see from the pictures, the 12 o'clock marker and caseback is in bad condition. The caseback dings are all from using the wrong tools, and I have no clue what is going on with the marker at 12. The seller is local and someone I sort of know, so it's easier to be upfront with him.
Any thoughts on this? It would help if anyone knows the reference number too. For $100 I'm tempted.

For $100, I'd buy it and run. Where else can you get that kind of watch at that price?

Watchflair · 21 April 2016, 04:13 AM

For $100 why not?

droptopman · 21 April 2016, 04:16 AM

I would buy it.

dysondiver · 21 April 2016, 04:18 AM

in a heart beat ,,, grab it

KenNethcole · 21 April 2016, 04:33 AM

Yes, 100 for that Tudor is a great bargain even if you have to spend some more to service/restore it.

BNA/LION · 21 April 2016, 04:37 AM

One C-Note, Yep!

Ian Macdermott · 21 April 2016, 04:51 AM

No brainer

harry in montreal · 21 April 2016, 05:08 AM

The movement is worth $300

Richard Carver · 21 April 2016, 05:09 AM

I'd buy it just to see what the hell is up with that 12 marker. :)

joeylim · 21 April 2016, 05:57 AM

thanks guys! I'll buy the watch as a casual replacement for my vintage DJ(can't wear it everyday ;))

motoikkyu · 21 April 2016, 08:17 AM

I'd pay up to $225 for this if I saw it at a sale. Can't go too far wrong for that price.

Dr.Smellody · 21 April 2016, 10:51 AM

Yep. I'd pick it up.

crowncollection · 21 April 2016, 11:12 AM

maybe it's a self-winding 12 o'clock marker?

I'm not sure if I follow, what do you mean?

adam78 · 22 April 2016, 02:46 AM

I will be a contrary voice and say: I wouldn't be happy with this watch, even for only $100. For me it's condition, condition, condition. Unless you plan to part out the watch, don't bother.

SearChart · 22 April 2016, 05:36 AM

I'd buy it, service it and enjoy it

cdmorenot · 22 April 2016, 05:55 AM

I'll give you $120 for it lol!

Seriously. I'd buy it and get it nicely restored. Gorgeous dress watch.

gmg_3 · 22 April 2016, 06:18 AM

case back is wrong.. looks like someone engraved the tudor

date disc looks too high

12 marker is what it is

hmm but if you knew vintage tudors you'd know that their case/crown/bracelet was all made by Rolex. I'm not sure what you mean by "looks like someone engraved the Tudor."

I agree, condition is everything. But you've got to know that quality comes at a price, and quite frankly $100 for this quality is not something you run into everyday.

spd707 · 22 April 2016, 09:50 PM

Yes, buy it.
