TudorCollector on Tour……..


I recently met up with a fellow Rolex and Tudor enthusiast to have a coffee and compare some ‘new additions’ we both had.  There were some nice watches on the table and quite a few military issue watches, mainly Tudor Subs and fantastic 5517!!

There are still so many new things for us to learn about Tudor watches; details of dials, issue info etc etc. One of the biggest excitements was to get two South African Navy issued Tudor Subs together for the first time. I will be publishing my research on these when we launch Version2 of tudorcollector.com in the next couple of weeks, so be sure to check it out.

So, on to the pics…

French Navy MNs together – a MN77 and a MN81.



It was nice to have both snowflake and merc handed versions side by side. Also pictured with an MN issue Spirotechnique depth gauge.



Chono call! Very nice 7149 on a cool matching NATO.



Heritage happens. Both variants of dial.



A cousin makes an appearance – 5517







Another ‘issued’ cousin – Comex 1665





Together – dynamic duo!!



First time that I’ve ever seen this online – two South African Navy Tudor Subs together!! I’ve spent some considerable time researching these watches and it was fascinating to compare the small details that make these watches so special and rare!



Tudor MilSubs – SA, SA, MN77 & MN81



And finally the Tudor group shot – one big happy family!
