Originally it would have been a riveted oyster πŸ‘
Thank you!
I more mean which end links will fit but hopefully the interwebs will know πŸ˜€

Ah understood. Pretty much anything that will fit a 6694 or Airking Rolex (amongst others) will fit fine. 19mm of course πŸ‘

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 β€˜62.
Right around that point of changing to tritium.
Anyways, any thoughts welcome.
Thanks for looking πŸ˜€

Same with the lume dot at 11...though not as much. But couldn't this be the result of some loss of lume material on those two dots...the one at 9 is missing entirely. And not all dots will age in perfect unison. Great old watch, enjoy it.

The end links for riveted bracelets are not removable and they have a notoriously bad fit no matter what.

Sounds like Christmas.

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 πŸ‘
Your advice was spot on!
Our own @No Mercy is hooking me up through the WTB section πŸ˜€

The first link-to-head-link-tube can be tweaked for a perfect fit if one knows what they're doing. Watch makers well experienced in vintage Rolexes can adjust them for snug fits. There's a lot more geometry involved than one would think. Even worse with vintage jubilees with the non removeable spring bar tube. I've also seen successes with both oysters and jubilees by simply cutting off the two ends of the tube, thus making the head links removeable and capable of sitting closer to the curvature of the case. .

Here is my 1962 Tudor 7934. I think the dial has been refinished at some point but it was a good price and I like it just the same.



I also have a late 50's Solar branded 7934 that is original.

Hey Bill Sohne remember the vintage Rolex "king of wings" that was circulating around NYC a few years ago? 😁
