Thoughts on this Tudor Sub please

Long time lurker, first post :-)

I am active over on watchuseek, but my eyes have recently started wandering toward the Subs. Not sure I want to go with a Rolex, which is why I am posting. Came across a Tudor Sub on WUS and was hoping to get some thoughts (have been an Omega Seamaster guy for a while, so a newbie at Subs). Here's the post - http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-...e-4313714.html

Ad states it comes with papers/documentation. Does everything look correct? Seems a tad pricey, but then again, I'm used to spending only around $2,500.

Thanks

Not knowledgeable on Tudors. It does look like it's received it's share of polishing. Be patient, others with more experience will come along shortly.

Looks very good to me.
Its recently been serviced by Rolex, please request a copy of that.
But in my opinion all is good.
I have no opinion to the price

Service dial and hands. I would keep looking, unless you want a later non-original Luminova dial with WG surrounds like that.
