Original Tudor Sub 9411/0?

[JacobK]

Hi all

As a rookie in the area I was hoping to get some help on verifying this Tudor Submariner 9411/0 - all thoughts and comments are well appreciated?

Also I've been seeing a couple of different vintage watches with dials swelling up like this one does - what is the reason for this and is it a warning sign or just a type of patina?

All the best,

I’d pass. This bubbling on the dial happens to some Tudor subs of this generation. As to why, that I am not sure of, but I do know that it is generally not perceived as a desirable trait by collectors and will definitely affect the watch’s value. That, plus the dirty lume plots, lack of bracelet and general scarred-over quality of the watch’s case make this a hard pass in my eyes. There are definitely better examples to be had.

I would try to find a better example, it presents OK for a high gnarly watch but it might have had water damage at one point.
