1975 Tudor 9101/01 Integrale. Rare burgundy dial with original white second hand. This has been de-plated and new crown fitted by owner in 80s, hence gold hands and shield.

Always good to have a period of Justdates.

Ref the good Doctors integrated piece above.
These integrated 2 part dial pieces are bang back en vogue and of course have been for years, with APs Royal Oak and PPs Nautilus, both their top sellers for 15-20 years.
Rolex following their history at last perhaps.
Here's the new alleged 2025 Rolex Land-Dweller.

Scruffy but well loved 9111/0s.
B.t.w., this is quite a seldom-seen beast, as it has a blue outer dial upon a silver inner, and the ‘s’ nomenclature was hardly ever ticked on the order form because it added a frankly ridiculous 8% to the cost of watch, as a special order ‘S'calloped inner link on bracelet, to match the crater shaped engine turned bezel.
