    The Royal Canadian Navy also issued Tudor 7928 Submariners to divers in and around 1967. Some years ago I found a box of old Tudor divers discarded in a cardboard box in the base dive shack. Aside from the 7928, there were a couple Tudor 9401/0 "hybrids" with snowflake hands, and a blue MN snowflake.

    I purchased 2 Tudor watches from Tourneau back in 1996-a Submariner and their last chronograph before moving on to the Tiger model. I’ve been very happy with both although the chronograph had to go back twice due to quitting within 12 hours! Both came with oyster bracelets although the Submariner’s version was the folded type and the chronograph the screwed links. For some reason I swapped them so now the Submariner wears the screwed links. Both are in excellent condition as I don’t wear them often as I’m quite hard on my watches.
    Recently purchased an Invicta speedway 9211 as a daily watch and am quite happy with it. Feels great and even the stopwatch function works well with screw down pushers. But they’ve swapped the sweep second hand which ticks constantly. Any thoughts?
    Keep up the great videos.

    Great background on the brand, the dive watch genre, and this model in particular. Yes, I do find myself bored by the Rolex Submariner design, mainly the dial markers and “MBZ” hour hand. But it is unlikely that I will ever give up my Sub homage precisely because of the design bloodline to the origin of the genre. Tudors seem to be remarkable watches, all the more for their being affordable and until recently not being such a status symbol or “I’ve arrived!” statement. Your love of watches is infectious.

    TGV finally got a on of by grail pieces, my Birthday Watch after years of searching for the 1973 Rolex Steve McQueen Explorer in pristine condition except the patina & unpolished scratches with box. papers & serving documents. Probably paid a premium on it, but had to pull the trigger as this opportunity doesn't come around very often, its the 1655 & very unique in design, I understand this particular model had a very short production run as well. I love the indices on this version of the Explorer, I hope that Rolex bring a similar designed Rolex Explorer back one day.

    I do respect those who care, restore vintage watches, something I don’t think I can do, I have one 62 year old gold round Hamilton which was given to my mother for me on my birth, had it serviced some time ago by Hamilton and it works, I know it’s no Rolex, but it’s mine and have a feeling for it. I could probably afford one luxury watch in my life, and most likely if not for sure it will be an Omega, always liked the brand and styling, more was leaning towards a speedmaster, but some of the new seamasters do look nice. I would go pre owned on a late model watch at the most. Nice review of the 50 year old submaster.

    Oh, NYC in the summer - wonderful😊
    And a Tudor to die for. Really like the newer Black Bays too, but there’s nothing like a well kept patinaed vintage piece. Talking of details, the Black Bay 36mm has kept the curved writing on the dail. Furthermore, it’s my favorite of the new models.
    Keep up the good work👍

    Hi TGV. Another great video. I truly enjoyed the format and style of this review. Very informative and interesting and I learned a lot. Thanks. I have a quick question. I just purchased a Tissot Seastar 1000, Powermatic 80 and I absolutely love it. Great price at just over $400, and I think it packs a punch at a far greater price point. Great movement with an accuracy of less than 2 seconds/day fast and I have yet to find a design flaw. My question is: Why does the Tissot Seastar get so little attention on TH-cam? I read some favorable reviews, yet I haven’t found any You Tube Channels which have reviewed the Seastar. I’m curious as to your thoughts as to why the Seastar doesn’t get much attention. I hope I’ve purchased a good watch:)? Thanks for your consideration in answering my query.

    Currently, I have a young female relative who's going to be the first in our family to complete law school. I'm just a blue-collar worker with not a lot of fashion sense. Most in my family wants to give her a smartwatch, after watching your videos I want to give her a watch that can make her look her best in her profession, but at the same time not be a "show off" to her seniors and fellow associates.
    May I suggest maybe starting a set of videos that can give good watch advise for people starting careers in the white-collar field? I don't want to give her a submariner (and it homage) and it will look out-of-place.

      Hmmm, thats a tough one, may I ask the reference. I might be able to help, who knows.
      I have to say, I love the blue of the Tudor, but sometimes I catch myself wishing it was black to match my attire better.
      Thank you John, happy hunting.

      @@theurbangentry Of course. As far as I can tell from the Omega home pages the references for the watches are
      Steel: 233.30.41.21.01.001
      Platinum: 233.90.41.21.03.002
      Not sure why I didn't realise I linked the platinum and not titanfall since I even wrote it down.
      The look is the same, but the platinum is at a waaay different price point.

    Beautiful watch. So much like the Submariner in every way. Amazing condition for 50 years old. Just goes to show regular Rolex service makes the difference . I bet the price on that watch is equal or more to purchasing a new Submariner. Nice review.

    The vintage Tudor subs are crazy cool watches. Definetly worth a future consideration. However, a Fortis Cosmonaut chrono with a caliber 5100 is on the top of my list right now (going to check one out next week!)
    BTW, great strap choice. Can you imagine loosing a springbar and you hear a little splash whilst rowing gently down the stream... That would be a true nightmare.
    Looking forward to the next one!

    Koen

      Their prices are shooting up. Also they are getting hard to find, I was extremely lucky with mine.

    Nice watch but it does look over polished , if you freeze frame at 9.57 the top right lug looks dramatically thinner than the left lug.
