Tudor Prince Oysterdate
Just a short post on my friends watch, a 60s vintage Tudor Prince Oysterdate.
Tim inherited this from his late father who was in the UK Armed Forces in the far East as the Empire was winding down. He purchased this watch in Singapore and Tim still has the box and papers.
Note the personalised case back
My knowledge on vintage watches is very limited and I own a couple of modern Tudors but I'm finding Vintage Tudors increasingly fascinating!
In particular the way the Rolex crown and name were everywhere! Very different to now.
Tim will of course not be selling this piece. I posted as I know a fair few of you will be interested in this area of watch history.
Cheers!
An enthusiast and collector for two and a half years. Got it worse now than when I fell down the rabbit hole! The more I learn the greater my affliction becomes... A particular interest in titanium di...
Such a beautiful watch! Tim is a lucky fella to have something so full of history to remember is dad by.
Yeah, that's a beautiful thing to have & be able to hand down. ❤

I think the inscription adds so much. Not monetary value but for everything else!
I have seen a fair amount of vintage Tudors like this for sale and they do look very nice.

I had never considered vintage tudor before bit it's another rabbit hole to fall down!
What a cool story and beautiful watch. Interesting to see the Rolex branding as late as the 60’s.

Not sure when they started not plastering Rolex all over everything but it clearly made sense at the time marketing wise

Very common, especially on crowns and cases. Tudors effectively were more “standard” ébauches inside Rolex hardware. That was the ethos. They are very nice. 1950s-1970s fare like this is simple, clean, and immensely collectible. Go for it.

A new old one for the list!
Beautiful watch👍
