Hi guys,

I am looking at buying a vintage Tudor Submariner that I have my eye on and I wanted to know your thoughts (i.e. pros/cons). Or would you recommend that I buy a newer Tudor

Thanks

Mark020 · 5 May 2014, 04:40 PM

Buy a new one.

Vincent65 · 5 May 2014, 05:42 PM

vintage!

I couldn't decide myself, so...

Depends what you want. Do you want one that is new shiny and trouble & worry free in the pool? Go new.

Want want you have to be a little careful of but not depreciate like a Hyundai when the taillights go over the curb, get a vintage.

If you are really drawn to the vintage that is the way to go.

I think the biggest factor might be the condition of the vintage piece.

cardiel · 6 May 2014, 09:25 AM

Or you could go some where in between. This is an '88.

I went looking for a Rolex 5513 and fell in love with the patina and walked out with this...

No regrets whatsoever, but now that I'm addicted I need to find a 16800.

Nice 67/68/69? Great hands & dial

(insert may be aftermarket)

so helpful

this is the vintage section so most will say go vintage. But it depends on what you have your heart set on. If you always wanted a vintage watch go for it. Do plenty of research and find the best example you can afford. I prefer the rarity of a vintage watch over the massed produced ones.

The only pro i see to buying a new one is being able to swim in it which i dont find to be very important anyway. With that being said i have owned a Tudor Black bay in the past and it was amazing. i really enjoyed the watch until the vintage bug bit. Good luck with whatever you decide.

does the crown and guards look different to u?

eco8gator · 6 May 2014, 11:10 PM

Vintage Sub.

You can purchase the 79090 or 79190 for around 3k with bracelet and about 2.5k head only. A flake can be purchased for about 3.5k(head only) or 4k with bracelet. Not additional premiums are added for the blue dial versions...

From there the $$ you save can be your service funds for the next 10 years. With a Tudor there is little reason to service at the RSC since a most competent watch makers can service the movement.

I love the look and feel of the vintage most of the time but I prefer to jump into the pool and/or ocean with a new one.

ahafs1 · 7 May 2014, 05:07 AM

Thanks guys. I am looking at a 75090 Sub - any thoughts on this particular watch? What about the size as I read that they are 35mm instead of 39mm?

ahafs1 · 7 May 2014, 05:11 AM

Does anyone own a 75090? What are your thoughts on the size of the watch itself? Would you recommend I go for the 39mm?

.

You may want to look at those 79090 prices again and Blue dials get a BIG premium

azguy · 7 May 2014, 05:18 AM

Seriously, go 39mm.... Look at 79090's, 76100, 7016, 7928...Take your time.

Are the 79090 more sought after than the 75090?

ahafs1 · 7 May 2014, 05:38 AM

I am going to take a look at the 79090 - thanks guys

Insert is definately aftermarket, I'm looking for a vintage one to replace it. It's a 68 7016 transitional so it has semi pointed CGs.

Noonan · 7 May 2014, 06:11 AM

Vintage!

That is what I thought but would like a nice side shot. I'll trade you the right insert (from a '68 SPCG sub) for your hands pretty please

The Sub I posted above is a 75090 - and I love it. As for the size - diameter 36.5mm diameter - it is only marginally smaller than a regular Sub, but I do have quite skinny wrists so the proportions work for me.

Its 25 years old, but looks mint & is waterproof. I love it - the best of modern & vintage combined.

harry in montreal · 18 May 2014, 10:21 AM

The 75190s and 75090 are almost the exact size as a men's daTejust from the 90s. They are great. They also seem to have moved up in price to about $2k. I would go for a 76100 full sized. These are the best deal out there.

Base-Z · 18 May 2014, 06:05 PM

Great Tudors on here.

Dude: don't hack threads. Pay your dues and become a legitemate member who can sell.

eco8gator · 19 May 2014, 05:47 AM

If your paying chrono 24 prices you paying too much.

For a watch head only, you can get a blue Tudor 79090 for about 2.5k.

If you want a bracelet the add another 700.

Look up fatderek on watchrecon. Derek is from HK and I had a good experience with him.
