The beauty of old Subs.

Vintage for me, I managed to grab a few Tudor subs before they went over the moon, still very happy with my GMT 16750 and patiently waiting for a good 5513-one day..

Is that the 9411 with snowflake hands? Just starting to get interested in the Tudor Subs and I know zip about them.

Vintage is the way to go if I ever have another. I've really come to appreciate them. I would love to visit Burlington Arcade but I only get home every three or four years.

Bubba,

Where can you get original tritium dials and hands?

Thanks, Gary

Absolutely beautiful photos guys. Nothing like shots like these to take your mind of the world's problems. All of the photographs here are very inspiring. We are all of us vey lucky to own these beautiful watches - vintage and modern.

That confession admitted, I have to say I absolutely love the vintage models. They are like a fine antique (which I do know something about as I owned and antiques shop for many years) and I want some!

I love the "petina" dials and just the overall look of the bloody things. My issue is I don't know how to determine if everything is 100% original which I think is very important.

Guess I'll hang around TRF for another decade and gain some wisdom before I start collecting these!

Thats a good point - to buy vintage with confidence you need to have some knowledge. I have read many tales on this site of people buying watches from reputable dealers which turn out to be Frankenwatches. It might not be the dealers fault - often they sell a watch "as seen" so a little knowledge helps.
