Why I think this
watch is interesting: Please read the comments about the condition of the watch below. As always I try to describe the watches as they are, not hiding anything. And I am as always very open and straight: this is a Handwind with Screw-Down crown. The power reserve (measured is about 48 hours), that means you will have to open and wind the watch every second day. To me that is a pleasure, I love to wind watches. I just want to make sure you understood that before ordering the watch and not be disappointed afterwards. The threads on the crown tube and crown of that Tudor are like new and Tudor guarantees that you can use that watch for a very long time and that whether the thread nor the crown will quickly wear out. And if it does one day, it is really very simple to replace that threaded stem tube. |
Seriously interested, but not sure? Please mail me!

At 17 minutes near the 15 minutes marker you can see the
slight "chip" on the dial. Most likely from the last servicing when the
watchmaker's handslifting tool slipped. This can happen with those vintage
watches, maybe the hands stuck really firm on the canon pinion. The scratch is
barely visible when you look at the watch perpendicularly, it becomes more
obvious if you look at the watch from a flat angle from the 6 o'clock position.
I am just telling this in advance, so you will not be disappointed. If you are
really fussy about scratches, then maybe vintage watches are not for you

The back carries the inscription Ron Smith 9.12.71 besides
the standard Rolex/Tudor inscriptions


Movement really is in great shape! Again, the beauty of
this watch lays inside
I do not recommend this watch for people which have no love for movements. All
the new Tudors bought in June 2003 are actually carrying their real beauty
inside and I would suggest that only a watch idiot savant (WIS) with a feel and
love for movements would buy those watches. I am sure there are a lot of watches
around with rebuffed dials and cases that look like new, but sometimes those
"marvels" come with so called "butchered" movements. For myself, I prefer the
beauty to be inside and I do not care that much about the exterior.


I will throw in a Sandoz Box, so this watch has a decent
home again. Of course without the Sandoz guarantee.
