Tudor Mini-Sub 73190 Caseback

Hello!

I purchased a 73190 Mini-Sub off eBay and I noticed something different after the fact.

The caseback doesn't say "Rolex Geneva" on it like others, it says "Tudor Geneva" and I'm just wondering why. I haven't found another example that has "Tudor Geneva" on it. I'm sure it doesn't matter too much but thought I would ask here to see if anyone knew.

If anyone can help me out that would be great!

It might be because at the time of being made Tudor had stopped using Rolex parts on their watches

There were 2 distinct models. Early ones 94400 and later 73190. As above, it might be the year of manufacture for your model.

It moved to Tudor branding sometime in the mid nineties. I had a Mini Sub with only Tudor branding from 1997. I bought it from an AD.
