Vintage Tudor Advice.
Hey guys,
Just wondering if you guys might know a little bit about this watch, also what should I do with it? Should I spend the money and restore it or leave it the way it is. I am planing to change it to a black leather strap. BTW it is very accurate. Thanks |

Love the patina on that dial. Wish my wrists weren't too big for the 34 mm size.

Get RSC to restore it - looks like it deserves it.

Early Swiss only dial, and lumeless. Early 60's I'm guessing. Get a new strap or even an oyster/jubilee for it and enjoy. I love the old manual wind oysters, my 1972 6426 days hello

Does it have sentimental value ? The cost of a service may equal it's fmv. It's a nice watch !

Thanks for everyone's reply. I did some more digging and found this post.
https://www.blackbough.co.uk/product...-1958-wwtosw2/ I think it's from the 50's, before they changed the logo to a shield. I did bring it to a RSC, he recommends that I leave it, since there's a small crack in the back plate, and they don't have a replacement part for it. I'm just worried that wearing it without it being services (probably for decades) might break it. |

What needs to be restored? Looks great to me with plenty of character. A nice leather strap would suit it well. That's what I did for my great grandfathers Omega.
