Very nice Tudor Collection Phil, thanks for posting them

Thanks David, you have made a nice start which is good, now wait for it to take over your life

My blue dial date Tudor sub was my first ever vintage which I picked up about six years ago, now I have a few dozen of various vintage brands, I like to mix them a bit. I have only ever sold one and that was a virtually new Omega Seamaster Americas Cup chronograph, it just did nothing for me, it was a great lump of shiny metal, had no soul. Stay lucky

Classic styling, strong and reliable 390 movement and (relatively) affordable.

It's one for show and one for go for me

Hi,

I would like to add my thanks to Morgan as well, if I may?
His website and serial numbers research is really fantastic and I thank him for the help he provided to me.

Keep up the tremendous work!!!

Thank you.

Wow! That's a VERY clean one!

I'm loving these Subs! I remember very well coveting and drooling over brand new blue Tudor Subs in the showcase, when I was a kid. IIRC, they were priced around $250-300. A few years' pay for me with my paper route and gas pumping job. You guys are making me drool again. Thanks, I think.

This could get expensive.

Great thread gents, it was a Tudor that started me on this never ending road of Rolex

roh123 · 3 May 2011, 11:47 PM

Here's my 7016. Quick q if I may hi-jack the thread. Anyone know if this is a service dial or if the 7016 came with non-snowflake and the shield logo. Serial is 742xxx so I would guess it is from 1970 +/- one year.

Also, would this have come on a Rolex branded 9315 bracelet or what was the correct bracelet back then? Any info appreciated.

Be very careful of Tudor fakes - especially the "desired" tudors below is a picture of a fake tudor 7032 - looks very good to my eye

It is supposed to have a Valjoux 7734 in it which is what the real one is based off of (actually not even sure they modified the movement back then)

Hi Everyone,

Looks like this is quite an old post so maybe my comments won't get a lot of attention? Anyway, I have a Tudor very much like the one shown in the post above by MorganDK.

Unfortunately, years ago, I make a mistake. I've always enjoyed watches, primarily because of the mechanical nature of them. I've had several Rolex and Tudor watches. I needed an everyday/workday watch to wear and abuse for all those "around the house" chores like fixing cars and pouring concrete. I chose my Tudor Monti Carlo chronograph. Now, I see that this was a bad choice as, in original condition, they're valuable. What was I thinking? A Timex would have been fine!

My watch is identical to the MorganDK photo posted above except that, on the dial, the area of the seconds markings, and the two small chronograph dials, are blue instead of black, and it has a blue "UNITS PER HOUR" bezel.

In '95 I fell and damaged the case. It was replaced at the Rolex Service Center in Dallas. It now needs a new band, a crystal, a service, a polish, and if I can find one, a new blue bezel. I'd like to get it as near new as possible.

I've communicated with Vanessa, who posts here, about repairs but she doesn't work on Tudors. She recommends I send it back to Dallas. I'd appreciate any thoughts about the wisdom of having this work done, especially the polishing. Also, any comments about where to get the work done would be appreciated.

I know that once a watch is polished, it difficult to unpolish it! I have no intention of selling just now but will likely do so sometime. I love antiques but really have to slap myself around to keep from fixing, refinishing, and restoring.

Sorry this post is so long,

Rod

Check out Bob Ridley in Dallas. He is second to none and very knowlegeable.

Tcaviglioli · 25 July 2011, 01:11 AM

The early dials have somehow suffered a bit more than the rolex ones, but the advantages with the rare and early tudor sub references is that you can get them for a lot less than the equivalent rolex ones, and in my opinion still undervalued. But if you are lucky you can end up with a rare references for a reasonable price.

See below, a 7928 PCG with an underline dial in unpolished and pristine condition.

Good luck with finding the right model for you!

I probably wouldn't customise a 5513 but I have a bit of fun with my Tudors.
Towering T39 crystals and freaky inserts - I love 'em
