Only non 6 digit reference I have... Might want to post in the vintage section. You'll get a ton of pics there for sure.

Replaced the standard crystal with a superdome.

Here's what I have among references that are discontinued.

You can decide if they're old school or not.

That is the original crown to this watch. Keep in mind that Tudor are 100% Rolex parts except the ETA movement. That's literally the difference between them and Rolex. Older Tudor reference wore many parts with the Rolex crown until it was replaced with the Shield.


Here's a shot of my case back.

I don't know what a 4 digit vs a 5 digit you are referring to, but yea I think you guys got the gist of what I meant: pieces from the 70s and the 80s and so forth.

4, 5, 6 digit refers to the model's Reference number. The newest modern Rolex use a 6 digit [example 116710] while the older version of it would be a 5 digit [16710] or 4 digit [1675] and so forth.

If you're looking for vintage Rolex watches, you're probably best off in the vintage discussion forum. There's an entire thread there of just vintage Rolex/Tudor.
