1970 Tudor Jumbo
Hi Guys,

I can't believe I got away from the forum nearly two years! I came back on after a friend sold me a 7024/0 oysterdate last night. I had no bracelet for it so I threw it on a handmade job. What do you think and thanks for looking!

Thanks for sharing about your Jumbo's Guys. They look really smart and understated. The timekeeping is rather good on mine so far. How about yours?

Absolutely beautiful!

So much warmth and character in these dials. Here's mine from 1969:

Sorry to resurrect this thread and thanks for sharing your Jumbos.

Just wondering, are the handset for the Jumbo still readily available from Rolex?

I have the 9080/0 Jumbo, which has the same hands as most of the models in this post.

Thanks!

I miss Carver. This old thread shows some of his great contribution to the community. Still feels weird that he's not around anymore. RIP, friend.

I don't believe Rolex will service a Tudor Jumbo anymore. Even if they do, you'll end up with a set of new bright-white hands (possibly Datejust) that won't match the vintage feel.

I'd seek to source a set of vintage hands instead. Good luck with it!

Yeps. I was thinking that (mismatch) also. However, I do have a Jumbo with the white dial that’s in really good, original condition, so a newer set of hands may not clash too much.

Actually, looking at the hands again, they aren’t in bad shape. Moisture marks (don’t know what they’re called) are the primary issue. Lume is still in tact. I’ll see if watchmaker can ‘tidy up’ the hands instead.

Thanks!

Yes, have the lume stabilized by an independent vintage specialist. They'll lacquer the rear of the hands so that they're stable but not affected cosmetically.

Jumbo lume is famously crumbly. It's fallen out of the last two Tudor Date-Days I've had... It's a real pain because it gets into the movement, so you have to pay for a full movement service AND hand reluming.
