Hi Friends,

Thanks to this sub forum, I've been on a bit of a "vintage" kick as of late focused on Tudor. I have received some help from the folks on this board and it has been very appreciated.

1969 7017/0 Day + Date to dress it up a little when required.

1992 79090 Submariner for my everyday.

1977 9091/0 Princess Sub for my lovely wife.

All purchased within the last 2 weeks. There is just something about the acrylic top hat's I couldn't shake and needed to get a couple in the collection.

Looking forward to enjoying these for the long term.

Steve

Nice trio congrats Tudor plexi is adictive

Beautiful set, now you need a model 7966 to finish off that group

Marrk · 9 May 2016, 12:40 PM

Nice Tudors, Thegr8one. I have never seen a Tudor Day-Date before, and the lugs on that Snowflake are remarkable.

motoikkyu · 10 May 2016, 01:40 AM

I think those are the "doorstop" markers on the DD, I like those!

Thegr8one · 11 May 2016, 01:41 AM

Thanks guys. Loving these Tudors....

Nice collection. We may have similar tastes, though it took me more than a couple of weeks to get these together.

omitohud · 11 May 2016, 04:41 PM

Nice combos all 😱

I blame it on the autoconnect.

Amazing watches Adam. Actually, my first choice day+date was your model. Options are scarce up here in Canada so when the black dial came up, I jumped on it.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. The Date-Day took me a couple of years of hunting. It was head-only, but fortuitously it takes the same Oyster bracelet as my GMT. I put the GMT on a spare Jubilee and put the Tudor on the Oyster. Perfect fit!

Love them all but the DD is a great piece. Congrats on the binge!!

A few though not all (bottom one has moved on) - guess I need to get 'em all together one day.

My first

Disregard the aftermarket dial - I have been chasing a particular person for a proper dial for over 2 years

Most recent Tudor

Plus I have a few dress Tudors.

Gone but not forgotten:
3x 7928 regular CGs
1x 7928 PCG
2x7016 (just projects)
1x 7021
1x 9411/0
1x Ranger 9050

I may have a problem

Haha, I think we all have a "problem". Some may be more severe than others but we're all in the same boat. You have some amazing watches.

I have such an appreciation for these old Tudors. These Tudors were made for guys exactly like me. I can't afford to drop thousands on the old Rolex Subs but these Tudors are right in my wheel house with similar charm and history. Thank you Hans for creating the brand....

Congrats on the latest acquisitions!!

Regardless of current market prices, many of these old Tudors have what it takes to compete with their Rolex counterparts in terms of vintage charm.

It will be interesting to see how vintage Tudor values change over the next 10 - 20 years. I suspect we'll all be glad that we got in when we did.

I couldn't agree more!

I love the Tudors, they are like the scrappy kid in the family ;)

Nice pickups, Steve, and welcome to The Tudor Clan

Thegr8one · 13 May 2016, 08:46 AM

Thanks guys. Glad to be part of the club.
