Are all Tudor Prince Oysterdates 34mm?

Am starting to really want a Tudor Prince/Oysterdate. Had never tried on a vintage 34mm so went to a local place. Tried on an Airking, which is undoubtedly 34mm. I liked it, but it seems a tad smaller than this Prince Oysterdate. Are there Oysterdates that are 36mm as I am wondering if the watch below is indeed larger than 34mm. Thanks!

Great watches. Right - the "jumbo" at 38, but otherwise just 34? Nothing in between like 35 or 36? The Tudor I'm wearing seems 36 to me!

There are over sized Tudor prince 34 with wider lug width at 20mm and longer lug to lug size. For example 7914, 7919,7929, 7909 etc. they wear really nice. You can try these references and you may like them.

Some great info by Mineral on the 34mm oversized (20mm lugs) which I love, but it's difficult to remember which are 19 and which are 20mm as both small roses have OYSTER DATE 34 on top of the dial.

'There are over sized Tudor prince 34 with wider lug width at 20mm and longer lug to lug size. For example 7914, 7919,7929, 7909 etc. they wear really nice. You can try these references and you may like them.'

Reason I resurrected this is, I've been offered a Big Rose version with that weird TUDOR writing like the white dial at end of this thread...I just thought it was a repaint as never seen TUDOR written like that ... Anyone care to comment pls ?

Be careful, in the last 6-8 years, the big rose dial has been faked and you will find tons of them on eBay

I always find 6694 and 6426 Precisions wear more like 36mm. They definitely look bigger side by side than my Air King 14000M 34mm.

I've seen that TUDOR font before but assumed it was a redial.

That white one is almost certain a repaint, I'd say.

Nice. I have three of the old 34 mm Tudors, and they really do wear much bigger. Almost like a 36 mm Datejust.

One thing to watch with these old Tudors is the radium lume. I have one that's so heavy on the dial lume that I dare not wear it.
