I am wondering if anybody can give me a ball park value on this watch. Actually any info would be great. All know about Tudor is what I have read on the web over the last few days. Honestly, what you will know from viewing the pics is about all I know. The watch is in relatively good condition aside from the cracks which you can see in the acrylic (I think) crystal. It runs fine and keeps good time. I would guess that it has never been serviced, or at least not recently. Movement is manual wind. The band is stainless, and I believe the case is as well, although its possible that the band right around the crystal could be gold, I really don't know. I got it from my gramps, and was just wondering if anybody could tell me anything about it. Its value is more sentimental than anything, and I don't plan on selling it anyway. Just wondering.    | ||

Forgot to mention he size. Face is about 25mm in diameter. Approx. 34mm across the whole case. Its also a little hard to see, but I think what it says on the side of the winding knob is "Oyster Patent" | ||

The dial has been repainted at some point, which diminishes its value. I think in the condition it is in, it's a $250-$350 type thing. | ||

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, how can you tell that the dial was repainted? Also, is there anyplace that I could send this thing and have the crystal replaced and the watch itself serviced? How much would something like that cost? | ||

The print on an original dial is much sharper than what you currently have. I think a service of such a watch would be ~$150-175 (by someone like myself) unless it has some weird issues in which case it could of course be more. |
