My 'new' Tudor!

Here are some quick shots of my 'new' all-original 7016 blue Tudor snowflake sub from 1977. Purchased from the original owner, watch is all original, including the box, sales receipt ($299), guarantee paper, etc.

Exactly what I was hoping to find. Sometimes an oldie but goodie can bring more enjoyment than a brand new piece.

Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Cheers,

-Marc

Thanks for the comments, guys. Did a bit of research thanks to the resources here at TRF and determined watch was made in 1974, sold as new in 1977. I guess even back then Tudors stuck around for awhile!

Cheers,

-Marc

Beautiful. Is that the one from Canada? Almost jumped but couldn't get the funds worked out. Glad it went to a fellow TRFer.

Yes, it was originally bought at Birks in Hamilton, Ontario in 1977.
