Ref. 3478 28mm manual wind with refinished dial



It makes my 6.75" wrist look enormous.

Been a long time reader and rarely post but here is my contribution…a ‘71 Sub 1680. My grandfather had bought this for him as a parting gift leaving Hong Kong to attend university in Canada. I have the original bracelet but opted to go NATO for peace of mind and preservation of the original “pateted” bracelet.

I’m actually just now noticing that it isn’t keeping time…seconds hand ticks away just fine but the minutes and hours struggle for a bit then stop while seconds keep on going…probably not the thread for it so I’ll ask for advice elsewhere. Thanks for everyone’s time!!!

Happy Friday indeed, one of my favorite Tudor.
Love the feel on the wrist, more especially with a nato strap.

Wow. I have not seen those type of numbers before. Almost a deco look.

Sadly, it’s not too often I wear this one anymore (out of an over abundance of caution, and all) but took it out tonight. I was reminded that nothing can compare to a gilt dial. Including, the recessed “gold” print, (actually brass from the dial plate). Highly recommend if you can grab one.
