Dr Smellody - any idea how i can find out more about it? It was my Great grandfathers. Circa 1956. I took it to Rolex HQ in Melbourne and they couldn't tell me anything about it!

Beautiful work and know you love it.

I have a 10 year newer one from 2001 with a white dial and love that bezel.

Tudor 1963 in 9ct gold

Don’t often give this Tudor an airing as it’s near mint and 1963!
