Blue Tudor 76100

Hi All,

Any thoughts on the correctness of this Tudor 76100? I really like it but am far from an ecpert on vinatge. It is for sale in a great little shop that seems to be the real deal, for just under $4K.

Thanks in advance

Other than the hour hand (which I think should have the Mercedez design) it looks OK to me. But I hasten to add that I'm no expert...

I am no expert either. It looks good from the pictures. Try it on in person if you can as the older Tudor Prince models are smaller compared to today's watches (if you did not realize this already). Also verify the movement by having the caseback removed by the jeweler/watchmaker if possible. If you are considering an eBay purchase, "buy the seller" based on their feedback reputation with a substantial number of recent and past feedback (100%). Good luck.

The hand is a lollipop which seems to be common for a 76100...

Looks nice, hour hand is correct.

I would like to see some closer pics but the watch looks great with the photos provided.

Maybe a bit high on the price for the US.

Get pics of the numbers and text between the lugs. Lolly hour hand is correct. Not sure this is the original band. Nice watch but these pics don't really show enough detail. Do your homework, there are some outstanding clone cases around. 4k seems a little steep.

Looks like a great example! Love the lollipop hour hand and markers! 76100 is a great reference.

Watch is correct. No Mercedes hand whatsoever, it's a lollipop submariner and the hour hand should be exactly as shown in the pics. Price seems ok too, at least for this part of the world.

My only question is the bracelet. I own one of these on a 7836 folded bracelet. I saw another one 2 weeks back for sale, again in a 7836. Have these been ever sold on a 93,150 with a Rolex coronet, as seems to be the one in the pictures by the OP?

Other than that, it's kosher and you can press the button.

Thank you Drainaps. I would be interested to know whether anyone has any comments on the bracelet.
