Hello fellow member.

I am a newbie from Malaysia.

I have posted some photos in this tread to share.

Can anyone let me know how old is this Tudor watch? It's logo is a flower and not the shield that is used these days.

Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks.

No. I am in Penang.

Are you from Malaysia?

Welcome aboard, Al!

If memory serves me correctly, Tudor switched to the shield some time in the mid-60's, although I don't know if they changed it for all of their models at the same time. I'm sure some of the experts here will be able to give you a reasonably precise date.

The next time you send it in for service, check the inside face of the caseback and see if a manufacturing date is stamped there - it should show which quarter of which year your watch was manufactured in.

I have a few of these old Tudors myself. Some I have sold. The older ones have the rose logo. There are some with a big rose and some with a small rose. I believe sometime in the late 1960s they change over to the shield logo.

From your pics I can see you have a problem getting the right size (19mm) straps.

Oh, I'm in KL.

No, but I have been there several times. KL, Penang, Malacca, and Miri, Sarawak.

Penang is really nice, but only stopped there for a few hours on a train ride from Singapore to Bangkok. Tourist visit. Same with Malacca.

However, with KL and Miri I am there often on business.

Cheers,
