Back in November I bought a Tudor sub, an ebay purchase and for a reasonable price. I thought it probably needed a service so I sent it off to my mate @JimInOz He took up the challenge despite some misgivings and with a couple of hints from @Archer we reached a very successful conclusion. It arrived here today and I waisted no time in fitting my Forstner bead bracelet. I think the results are stunning. Just for reference it's a cal 390, ref 7928 dates from 1967. The crown and crystal were replaced during service and it might be a re-finished dial. A few pics
Nice outcome! I think the dial may just be a later tritium service dial with some patina. Assuming the date is right, I think that a 1967 dial should still have the rose logo.
It's been fun following Jim's service of this one. A very nice watch and good to see you're pleased to be wearing it.
Dial looks refinished to me? The fonts look too thin for me. edit to add: maybe it’s just the picture resolution on my phone, but it just looks odd to me.
