Vintage Tudor

[DenPep]

My father passed away in the 60s, and I have recently acquired his Tudor, minus the 'Oyster' shaped case and the steel bracelet.

I'm trying to find out the year etc. Seems like the Rose in the Shield comes from the 40s but not sure.

It has the 'rose in the shield' above the Tudor Oyster Automatic, numbers 2,4,6,8,10,12 on a champagne coloured dial with the words 'Shock Resisting' between the 4 and 8 position.
It is a hack second hand. I was told by a jeweller that it is gold filled and the gold plating on the crown is almost gone. The serial# is 509xx next line is 95x

It gains about 1 minute overnight on my night stand, so I'd say it's working quite well for an older watch.

Here are some pictures. Any info would be great, and hope you enjoy the pics.

I made an error, this Tudor does NOT have a hacking second hand.

Looks like a Tudor 951 from about 1946 or 47. This is the only watch ever made by Rolex or Tudor to say "automatic" on the dial as far as I know. This is because it has a 'bumper' rather than a "rotor" self-winder.

Looks like you're right. What happened to the original case?

It likely is the original case, just very overpolished, if the serial and model number are still on caseback, where they should be.

Was referring to the OP's comment: I have recently acquired his Tudor, minus the 'Oyster' shaped case and the steel bracelet.

I know.
