My “new” vintage Tudor

[SydR]

Being stuck at home recovering from a fractured pelvis I resorted to a bit of retail therapy and set myself the task to find a 1968 dress watch. I came across this nice Tudor, hallmarked Edinburgh 1968. (Having scratched that itch I waiting for delivery of a 1029’s Rolex for the Mrs!)

Great looking watch! I think what you have though is a 1950's 9ct dress watch
based on that movement. Dial IMHO has been refinished as should be a rose dial, quite often these also carry the name Royal below the rose and Tudor name.

Thanks.

I’ve seen photos of the same mechanism listed on the ranff.de from 1965 and the hallmarks on the case I’ve had confirmed as Edinburgh 1968.

I know Tudor changed from the rose to the shield in 1968/69 and this date ties in with the history I got from the seller.

Either way the hallmarks and the price paid I’m content with

I like it! Congrats!
