Tudor 'pre' Advisor 7926 Explorer / Ranger Dial

Hello everyone, I recently traded a watch of mine (Breitling Superocean A17360) for this watch (currently on an oyster bracelet) and a Longines. The watch in question is a Tudor Pre Advisor 7926 with an Explorer/Ranger dial. The previous owner and I have both done some research but we can't find a whole lot about it other than the serial number is 22xxxx. This is odd because he and I both believed that Tudor first numbers started at 24xxxx dating to 1956. It has the Adolf Schild manual winding caliber 1475. There is a Reddit thread of the previous owners complete findings, any help on identifying this watch or any history is much appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you, let me try to get a workable link. I just realized it was for Android only.

I can't quite see from the image, is that a shield around the rose? Looks like a redial anyway.

Yes it is a shield. The previous owner claims it isn't a re-dial but I'm not so sure about that. However the lume plots have been redone.

Rose in shield was stopped around 1947-8. That dial is completely re-done, and the hands are also much later. It's a franken in my opinion, and about 3 to 4 times overpriced. Sorry.

No problem, I appreciate the knowledge!
