Hi all,
Just wanted to show my new Tudor 7934, I love these manual winds!
To me, it looks all good.
I do find it a little odd that the lume plot doesn’t exactly match up on the 20 marker.
Have any of you seen that before?
385 XXX serial is I think ‘62.
Right around that point of changing to tritium.
Anyways, any thoughts welcome.
Thanks for looking 😀

Looks like an excellent example. I've always had a soft spot for the rose logo!

Love the Tudor Rose models, I'm waiting on a Rose/Shield one to come around.

Oh like the rose inside the shield… yes those are very cool. Earlier I believe, 40’s or 50’s.

I’ve read that Rolex switched to Tritium in ‘63.
This being a ‘62 I would think is radium.
Also I guess I would see a “T” or two at the bottom if it were tritium?

I am personally angainst e.g. polishing or redialing, but i would "refresh/polish" the hands . Nothing else... except new lubricant and regulation.

Nice Oyster! Love those arrow markers.
Here's mine, a 7984 with brushed dial from c.1965.
You can see that this one is post-switch to tritium, hence the - T SWISS T -

Cheers.

Now yer talkin! A nice riveted oyster would really complete that watch. They are plentiful online and perhaps post a WTB here in this site as so far every time I post a needed bracelet on this marketplace I have found one 👍

Fantastic I’ll do that, thank you!
I just have to figure out which one 😵‍💫
