Hi OF,

Have been offered this vintage tudor submariner. serial on case dates to 1968 or 1969, can anyone help with originality?

Case is a bit polished but as far as I can tell is okay, the serial number and model number are good, caseback is good. The seller is unsure if the dial & hands are original or not, thinks that they might be later replacements. I'm not familiar enough with vintage tudor to tell, but it seems to be very similar to original 1968 snowflake models to me?

Bezel numbers seem a little off, but not too concerned there (can get a correct bezel fairly easily).

 

Need better photos - while I think the watch is OK, the photos are horrible.

Signed someone that has owned two dozen vintage Tudors ; )

 

Thanks for that!

Yeah the seller is saying this is the best resolution they can get... so it's proving a bit of a struggle.

 

The best closeup I can get with the current photos - seems good right?

 

Akshually, no ; )

I am pretty capable of blowing up images, blowing up poor images simply makes larger, poor images.

You want movement photos, engraving photos, crown photos, side lugs, caseback, etc.

 

Haha good point - I didn't end up going with it, but thanks for the brief commentary anyway!

 

Need better photos. Hands may have been replaced with insert

 

What do we think of this snowie, kind folks of the forum? I can get pictures of the side lugs and crown etc as well.

 

Legit, high miles. Looks like a 7021. Need better photos
