Help me identify this vintage Tudor

[duncancallum]

Struggled lighting the watch with out a huge amount of glare sorry.









It was left to me by my great aunt and was her husbands watch. I dont know a great deal about it apart from is waaaay over due a service and a clean.

So basicly whats the model and more importantly the age. I would think possibly 50's?.

Am I right in thinking that tudor are the budget Rolex as theyre manufactered in the same place. If so whats the differnce with them.

Thanks

Duncan

Thanks, thats a handy table.

834 So 1975 then.

[Vespula]

Looks older than 1975 to me.

Where are you reading the serial number from?

[duncancallum]

68 is the code so not as old as I thought. I dont have a lense but the 834 is an 884 I think.

Cheers
