I am currently looking at the following Tudor Sub, comparing these pivs to others I have seen, 3 questions come up. First- the bezel pearl looks different than others i have seen. Second- the hands appear either re-lumed or aftermarket, and third, the dial seems to maybe have been re-lumed. Any thoughts on these points? Any input is appreciated.

Either it's NOS or something is wrong, the tritium should be beginning to patina. And everything just looks too Crisp.

Did you ask the seller about your concerns? He's a member here, and an honest guy.

dtwatches.com · 7 November 2014, 10:25 PM

He did ask me. But, I asked him to seek 3rd party's comment because of some reasons.

Ok

I'm not against buying the watch if there are aftermarket parts or repairs. Just want to know what I'm getting. I'm looking for a daily wearer, not a collector piece.

Looks nice to me...

Service hands, but who cares. Case is crisp!

Marine1981 · 7 November 2014, 11:14 PM

At the end of the day, you buy the seller not the watch. The seller has a good reputation on the forum and has great eBay record. Has the seller said what has been replaced?

IMHO the insert has been replaced, but who cares. I think the dial and hands are fine.

I have a 79090 that's pretty crisp and ABC thought my dial and hands were original when they serviced the watch. I personally sourced a new insert which was freakin hard...

The seller has not responded to what is and is not original or replaced. I seem to have pushed his buttons unintentionally with my questioning, which is why I am asking here. I suppose I assumed rather than asked him, which I can understand his being a little miffed. Either way, I know he is a trusted seller, however he insisted that I seek the opinions of the masses here before entering into any sale agreement. The sale listing does not specify whether the parts I am questioning are original, aftermarket, serviced or other. I honestly don't care- but I don't want to over pay for a non-original piece, and I also want to be able to represent the watch correctly should I ever decide to sell down the road.

Unless the seller bought the watch from the original owner - and said owner was honest and complete in his disclosures about the watch, you'll never have certain answers to your questions.

Whether the lume will fall off the dial or not is hard to say.

You really have to take some chances with a vintage piece.

It looks nice...personally love these blue subs.

I'm sure he has no idea, like us, except we are guessing....

I agree- he probably doesn't know for sure.

Thanks for everyone's input. I am going to attempt making a deal for this one. Looks too nice to pass on!!
