Oh how I look back and see some I wish I'd kept - thats life I guess..

- Neil.

I'd love these two mate

That Oysterdate Chrono is perfection itself, if only you'd kept them I could have prised them away from you

Neil,
Anyone would envy the Tudors you USED to own much less the one you still do.

Thanks Dan, I guess we all have watches that we wish we had hung onto. Hindsight is a great thing....

wintermutt · 12 January 2009, 10:14 AM

I have five so far and always on the lookout for more.

These three I've had for a while:

9411/0 Snowy:

7021/0 Roulette Date:

7016/0 Lollipop Sweeper:

These last two were the result of a December shopping spree:
79190 Sapphire:

76100 Non-spoke Lollipop Hour:

Those last two shots were both made by the sellers.

buz-lh · 12 January 2009, 10:39 AM

Sweet collection wintermutt. They're all beautiful.

CoachMike1970 · 12 January 2009, 10:55 AM

No really clean pics, but this was my first "good" watch, and my first father's day present, back in 2002

Thanks Buz. I love 'em.

Many folks seem to think the vintage Tudors should be viewed as Rolex's poor cousin. Personally, I think the old Tudor Subs have qualities of their own which are utterly different from Rolex (despite their use of the Genuine Oyster case) - especially when the unique snowflake and blue dial/bezel designs are considered, and lets not forget their unique history (issued use by both the French and American militaries, etc.). To say nothing of their affordability and rarity vis-a-vis Rolex Subs.

The Tudors should be judged purely on their own merits - which are clearly abundant.

xtra3cats · 12 January 2009, 10:55 PM

Pic clarity is not on par with most in this thread but my wife insist I post for her. I have no choice so here goes...

buz-lh · 16 January 2009, 10:33 PM

Need to keep this thread going. I haven't put this one up here yet.

JimSnyder · 16 January 2009, 10:55 PM

Oh Buz, very nice Tudor

Man I'm slipping. I have not bought a watch in almost a year now. Not even a vintage Seiko, I can't wait for better times. I had something going on something special this week but I dragged my feet too long. Now I'm thinking I made a mistake

gmt 16750 · 16 January 2009, 11:11 PM

Buz - that 71960 chrono's a real beauty mate!

Would you mind PM'ing me the start of the serial number?

Jim - the right deal always comes along eventually, it's just a matter of waiting my friend

(I know - easier said than done!

).
Still to even take a photo of my newest Tudor.......

buz-lh · 16 January 2009, 11:14 PM

Jim, like Neil says there is always another one. Neil, thanks. Get the camera out and let's see some pics of the new one.

I know but you should have seen what I was offered. It was very generous. Yes Neil, Pics please

Now I just wanna know what it was Jim !

buz-lh · 17 January 2009, 06:28 AM

C'mon Jim tell us. Was it a tire rotation from a redheaded woman.?

Buz,
Will you stop posting pics of that watch!!!!!!

I don't want to cry anymore

That is close to perfection

3bee · 17 January 2009, 08:54 AM

Some stunning Tudors on this topic!

Here's mine again:

acce1999 · 17 January 2009, 08:58 AM

When this thread started I did not own any Tudors. Now I have one:

Once in a time I also just had one Rolex

I still have that one, but it is resting in the safe now - along with some other friends, most likely wondering why that Tudor gets so much attention.

Best,

A

Man, How could you not love those. What a pair Steve

Great pics

Dalton · 18 January 2009, 05:01 PM

Well I've decided that my next watch is going to be a Tudor Sub or Chrono. Thanks i guess for steering me away from that TT Sub I've been looking at.

T5AUS · 18 January 2009, 07:03 PM

Keeping the thread rolling, I have still got my four Tudor subs and a few others, have not been able to add to them for about a year now though, they seem to have dried up in this neck of the woods, still on the prowl for a good chrono too, it will come

ziphe · 18 January 2009, 07:31 PM

Only one for me. But hope more to come
