Old gems

Hi all,

I came across with 3 gems at my local jewelry store and debating which one I should pull the trigger on, they are around the same price 9k -10k in full set. Not in particular favorite order. (I do have a 114060 in my collection)

Would love to hear others opinions. Much thanks!

1. 16570 black dial
2. 11610 date
3. Tudor 79090

I have one alongside a few Rolex sport watches, and I love the Tudor dearly. As a matter of fact, I'm wearing it as I type this reply.

So you’re basically between two subs and an Exp II - but you already own a sub. So, for me, it’s the Exp II all day.

Those tudors are nice but I’m always surprised they are priced similarly to Rolex given the comparison in the pricing of modern models.

Here you go Plexi crystal, tritium markers, folded bracelet. It feels like a 1680.

Ahhh



Thanks!

I'm seriously thinking of picking up either one of those or a 16800 matte dial at some point. And have it RSC serviced and fitted with a fresh, glowing set of hands and service dial to stare at all night like a fool (yeah, flame on ).

My vote is the 16570. It has the 3185 or 3186 movement with jump hour hand.

I feel the way. My brain tells me I should go for the explorer ii and my heart tells me I should go for the Tudors sub
