Vintage Watch Condition Examination:
This Tudor Submariner is in overall honest, vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The case is in good condition with normal signs of wear. The bezel ring has remained sharp and the "Long 5" bezel insert has aged with an attractive look with a blue-grey fade throughout; the pip at the 12 o'clock has aged and developed patina. The bezel has a few chips along the inner edge. The watch has retained its correct crown (non trip-lock without three dots). The dial is in good condition with some patina around the edge. The lume on the dial has developed patina and aged to an attractive even pale yellowish-green color. The hands have developed patina and the lume in the hands matches the color of the lume on the dial. The rivet Oyster bracelet is in good condition with normal signs of wear and light stretch between the links.
Description: Tudor Oyster Prince 7928
Here we have a beautiful Tudor Submariner ref. 7928 from circa 1966. Tudor came out with this reference in 1959 and produced it until around 1969. Tudor made several variations of this reference and this example features the last dial variation before they discounted this reference and came out with the successor the ref. 7016 / 7021. This example has aged nicely over the years from the lovely lume color to the ghost bezel, this thing really pops in the sunlight!
This watch has a few stand out features that are worth mentioning. First off this is of the open-chapter ring variation and we love the combination of the gilt colored minute hash marks around the edge of the dial combined with the white text. The dial has the "self-winding" is in an upward arch and collectors refer to this as a "smiley." Tudor used this detail in some of the modern Black Bay watches so its nice to see the history of this detail. The dial also features a "Rose" logo which is something Tudor stopped doing around 1969 when they went to the shield logo. The movement on this watch has an "ROW" stamp which was the US import code for Tudor/Rolex which indicates that this watch was destined for the US market.
These vintage Tudor Subs offer a great value and are perfect for those who want a more under the radar Submariner.
