Rolex Tudor Oyster Prince redial and restoration!
Hello everybody, after a few years I decided to rejoin the watch obsession.
In 2018, my father gifted to me a Tudor watch. I knew nothing about it, and in this forum I learned that was a Tudor Oyster Prince, ref. 7995, Tudor Caliber 2483 (not sure about the mechanism). Sadly, it was redialed. And that is what I wanna do. My question is, how can I found the original design? And in that case, should I take to a watchmaking and tell him to redial it? Or should I buy a new dial? taking into consideration that it's a watch from 1965-1969 Any response would be helpful. I'll leave the photos attached. Thank you everybody and greetings from Argentina! 20181023_185210-01.jpg 20181023_185214-01.jpg 20210629_115540.jpg 20210629_115623.jpg 20210629_115718.jpg |

It would probably just be easier and cheaper to find another dial. You wont find a new dial unless its aftermarket. The dial is probably already aftermarket and isnt an original repaint as well as the hands. The bracelet is a much later add on and does not have the correct end links for that case. It should have either 57, 357 or 557 end links for that case. The dial, hands and bracelet were probably all swapped out at the same time later in the watches life.
The Tudor 7995 is a common reference and you should be able to find original used parts online for it.

I'll take to the watchmaker. It's also has a 4.0ms beat error. |

For that date range, 57 would be a correct end link but the later bracelet you could use any one of the three
