Anyone seen this before?
Hello fellow vintage enthusiasts...was wondering if anyone has seen this particular configuration (pics below)? The owner claims it's all original (but has lost all paperwork over the years) but I'm skeptical. My research/references doesn't come up with any dial exactly like this (numbered markers, 'Swiss Made'...), old/bubbleback case back, etc. Is the dial refinished? I know the bracelet is not original to the watch and much newer oyster.
Any ideas/thoughts/information appreciated. (Apologies for the picture quality, all I have at the moment.)

Looks like a redialled Tudor to me.

Definitely caseback for a Tudor from 1958 based on serial number

As Tommy aptly summarized in emoji form above, you rock Adam. Thank you.

Thanks Roger, makes sense why a bunch of Tudors were coming up when I was researching that caseback, :)

Pop the lid, Tudor 7934 would have an ETA inside.
Redialling them as "Rolex" was pretty popular in the 70s where I hung about. Some dials were repainted, some were aftermarket replacements. Afaik a 34mm proper Rolex dial won't fit on ETA so no point using genuine dial. |
