For $299, I could find many other things in life to enjoy. That's a lotta beer!

Those hands look like the very pinnacle of Swiss craftsmanship and precision!

Well.... while I'm a big Tudor fan - esp. the older Oysterdate models (actually have two new ones this week alone - pics and details to follow), I can see nothing to make this one unique at all - just a decent, basic Tudor Prince Oysterdate, nice watch but not 'collectable' as such IMHO.

The hands look oxidized but otherwise correct for the watch. The watch is neither unique nor particularly valuable but you can't say from that picture alone that it is incorrect.


EDITED - MY BAD - see below

Nice Tudor (but it is a pity with those oxidized hands)

I'd say it's worth about 600 US $

had to look up wingding (thought it might be a swiss word):

wing-ding /ˈwɪŋˌdɪŋ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[wing-ding] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun Slang.
1. a noisy, exciting celebration or party.
2. a fit, either induced by drugs or feigned.
3. a fit of anger; a rage.

#3 is probably what you have when you notice the misspelled word on the dial

Good one - never even noticed that myself.
Self Wingding indeed!
God, I must be getting old
