Very interesting.
I cannot read the inside of the case on my phone. But 9kt, usually indicates a contracted case made in England. You will see that occasionally. Watch companies would import just the movement to avoid the heavy duties on gold and then they would be cased in country by another company. Gold Tudors are pretty unusual. I have never seen one with a gold band before. |

ds&s is David Shackman and Sons, a UK company that made watch cases.
Locally made cases (UK, US, France, etc) avoided import taxes, as noted. The number on the case is for the case. Not useful for dating the watch. |

Although I would consider this an authorized Tudor watch in its original form, I'm pretty sure this watch would not be offered in there catalog.
Which will make any research almost impossible. Most likely, very few made especially with a gold band. |
