It seems nobody has been able to help identify, and I have left it as is - as I've left the watch in my watchbox. Been meaning to get it repaired and serviced, but never came around to it.
As far as I know, no simple or practical way of doing it. I didn't do a lot of research or reading but I have come across the question and it seems it's not just a simple "let's replace a gasket or crown" thing.
Among all the references in Tudor, I like the 1926 the most. That being said, I've fallen head over heels for Nomos and would pick those in a heartbeat. I don't expect I would actually purchase the 1926 in the foreseeable future, because while they are nice and I do like them, I don't love them.
In conclusion: pick the one you love - but in order to do that, you have to assess which you love. It may be both, it may be neither.
I am absolutely enthralled by GS (Spring Drive only), but for me it's not for it to be a daily/accuracy watch. Yes, it could perhaps serve that purpose, but purely for "accuracy" and "maintenance free", I opted for a Casio G-Shock GW-B5600BC-1B because of the Bluetooth sync (or radio sync if you're in a region within range) and solar powered - probably as accurate and maintenance-free as it gets. It does look nice but I generally wear it as a beater, and keep it around in case for any reason I need perfect time which is ready to go at a moment's notice.
Mine would be the Casio GW-B5600BC-1B but that's cheating because it has radio sync (I'm not in within affected region/range) and Bluetooth sync. Even without that, it's quartz and none of my mechanicals are chronometers (yet).
More often than not, they "do not work" (for me), but I do accept that they could work sometimes.
Situations I can think of where they will "work":
1. Tourbillons (bonus points if they always function as a small seconds hand)
2. Unusual placement of balance wheel (dead center?)
3. Decorated/unusual looking balance wheel (do these exist?)
4. Somehow designed such that they add to the symmetry (e.g. to offset a sub-dial - if these even exists)
5. On a person, during surgery (I kid, I kid, but this is true)
