Condition:
This watch is in excellent vintage condition, with all factory original parts. The dial and hands are untouched, with beautifully aged patina that reflects its vintage character. The case appears to have never been re-polished, preserving its original lines and factory finish. Signs of wear are present, as expected for a watch of this age, but there is no major damage or abuse.
Timekeeping is strong following its recent full service, and all functions, including date operate correctly.
Water Resistance Note:
While new seals may be fitted during servicing, this watch has not been pressure tested and is not guaranteed to be waterproof. Vintage watches should always be kept away from water unless explicitly rated and tested.
A Note on Vintage Watches:
Mechanical watches like this Tudor require occasional servicing and careful handling. They will not match the precision of modern quartz movements but offer a mechanical soul and heritage that modern watches cannot replicate. Patina, light wear, and small imperfections are part of their story and charm.
