Tudor 7016 in for repair

I talk about Rolex often, but what about Tudor's...

In the past, Tudor was often referred to as "The poor man's Rolex." Nowadays, the sports models are getting quite pricey and collectible. With this model, it resembles a Rolex Submariner with it's beautiful meters first black Tudor dial.

This watch came in for a sympathetic cleaning. The movement is an ETA 2483, which in itself, is a strong movement. With a little TLC, the watch was resurrected and showed its true colors.

That is an exceptional dial for that model - they usually do not look that good over time. Very, very nice!
