I need a little help from some knowledgeable watch enthusiasts.

I have been searching for a clean, all original Tudor 79090 with tritium dial, lume pip, and handset. Box and papers are not too important to me so long as the watch's authenticity can be verified at a RSC.

I have been in talks with a local-ish (within Canada) seller who has sent over some pictures and video. It's been serviced by Rolex in 2008 as well as 2017, original owner. The seller claims handset and dial were never replaced to the best of his knowledge, nor does the paperwork suggest it. It's been polished, top hat has been replaced, movement has been overhauled, and bezel has been replaced in 2017. The lume pip seems to have patina, but still glows? I believe everything else is original.

Mind to chime in on value/fair asking price and if the lume on the dial and hands appear to be tritium or luminova? Under 100w halogen light over 5 mins, in pitch black room nothing glows but the lume pip.

Here are 2 links to pics and video:

I think most people here prefer you to post pictures of the watch in question directly to this site instead of linking to a different site.

Thank you for the tip. Let me see if I'm able to do so.

Thanks for posting images. Looking at the meters and feet, they look very bold. Maybe it’s the saturation and exposure but that is odd. Any chance you can get a good, straight on, focused picture of the dial?

Looks ok to me. Has the general look of tritium and your description of the response to light is also consistent. If Rolex serviced it, there weren't any aftermarket parts at that time. Price depends on a lot of things that aren't shown in your photos, but I think you can probably find some good comps for yourself on eBay, forums, etc.

Thank you for some quick feedback. Here's some cleaner pics, but it makes it look really white due to exposure on cam I believe.

Please take my feedback with a grain of salt, I’m no expert. But like I said, a couple of the details of the dial give me pause.

HQ Milton Example (not that his are beyond reproach but there are enough examples consistently looking like this)

Fake (sorry if this is not allowed, let me know and I’ll delete)

Your example.

I notice the “m” and “ft” are fatter and spaced similar to the fake.
However, like I said, don’t take what I’m noticing as gospel or anything. Tudor is notorious for variations in their production but it’s also notorious for fakes. I would advise you carefully buy the seller. If they’re reputable and honest and documentation is legitimately there - you can chalk up my observations a minor Tudor variations.
Hope that’s helpful and I’m not muddying they waters.

For me the images are too close up to really offer too much of an opinion , but I know that for some reason the lume on 79090s can look as fresh today as when they left the factory . Also the bezel pip on mine still glows for a short while even after 30 years . As for value ,it just depends on how much you want the watch & are prepared to pay for it & I know prices are rising so a ballpark figure of between 4&6k USD seems right to me especially if it’s a dealer selling ( I really don’t keep track of values so could be miles away ). But the case looks like it’s had a couple of polishes & the chamfers look soft to me , which would put it nearer the lower end of my estimate . Heres mine from 89 as a comparison ,

The lume plots look really different from photo to photo, and obviously they can be enhanced. And if the insert was replaced in 2017, the pearl is superluminova and I doubt it has any patina. So without knowledge to the contrary, I'm going to be skeptical of the photos where the pearl looks yellow. Beware confirmation bias, where you believe the photos that look the way you want the watch to look, and you disbelieve the photos where the lume plots look white. Be openminded and skeptical.

So if patina matters to you, you're going to need to figure out a way to get the seller to send you good photos taken in natural light. Don't forget to scrutinize the bracelet as well, since it's a significant part of the value.

I'm overwhelmed by the wealth of knowledge and experience you have shared as a community. I have only shared images to determine if lume is tritium or not. I've recieved several other images pertaining to the watch and it's overall condition.

Thank you to all who have responded. I welcome any other wisdom you care to impart.

Enjoy your evening

No, not at all. I wasn't aware of this. I'll inquire about getting a focused pic of the bottom of the dial. Much appreciated
