Tudor submariner found in the wild this weekend

[Andrea Sue]

Hello everybody, I am an old time. I guess you could call me a picker, primarily a collector of jewelry. I’ve learned some rudimentary watch information may osmosis since being a jewelry collector for many decades. When I’m out and about, it’s smart to know enough not to pass up what might be something good. So this weekend a Native American cuff bracelet, which I collect, and some of them are actual watch cuffs. So at the watch when I got home and discovered that it might have been a very interesting and rare Tudor. Just to take this immediately off the table. It has been already confirmed as an authentic piece by expert in the field. it is a submariner reference 7924. So here comes the crappy part. It runs great the hands are nice. It even is still fluorescent in the dark but it’s missing its rotating bezel. Can somebody give me any kind of idea where I can get such a piece vintage preferred or at least not some knock off. TIA

Some photos would help your search plus maybe better off in the vintage section

I thought I put a picture, but I guess it didn’t come through. I’ll have to look for the vintage section wherever that is I find it interesting that over the past decade or so that I’ve been on various forums, they haven’t updated ease of use at all, lol

Nice!

Go to an AD and check for a service bezel.

Perhaps too old, but well worth to ask.

send it in for service for authentication as well. some experts dont know what they are talking about

Hopefully this picture posts. I tried to reduce the size size and hopefully it worked.

I have a bunch of pictures, but I had to go through a lot of rigmarole to get one small enough to post on this forum. My phone takes pictures that look fine to me but apparently they’re too big to be displayed here. They’re fine everywhere else in the digital world just not here.

Yeah... It's an old forum with weird pic requirements. Have to be smalllll...

Hard to tell much from your pic. But vintage parts can be pricey. I've seen vintage submariner bezels selling for 10K.
