New Tudor Vintage Submariner

[ilya93robbins]

I have ordered mine from Ryan few days ago. http://www.intime.co/tudor/3029-vin...ound-markers-black-date-submariner-a2836.html
Should arrive withing the next 10 days. I'll upload some pictures when I receive it.
Does anyone know which movement does it have? On intime website it says 2836 but on puretime it is 2824. I am looking to buy an eta datewheel and swap it straight away as the font looks terrible on this rep.

I have been wearing mine for a couple of weeks now. This watch feels like it is vintage, there is something about that makes it feel like it is 20 year old and I love it. Few days ago I have managed to badly scratch the glass, so I bought a gen plexiglass from eBay. Should arrive in the next couple of day. I'll post pictures as soon as it is done.

That will be helpful. Thanks!

I have just ordered mine. Have you done the resizing?
You might have to bring it to the watch-smith I guess...

Actually, a new day, and confidence that I was doing the right thing made it much easier. Although you can tell from the inside of the links that they're not quite perfect, nothing you can see on the wrist. My advice is to unfold the links nearest the clasp.

Mine is nodate blue - waiting on a darker dial and bezel insert and then will put some pictures up. Although I might have a crack at shaping the CGs while everything is out the case.....

This forum is going to cost me a fortune! I had to order one of these today and my first REP hasn't even shipped yet.

It's only a beginning my friend unk:

I've just received mine, and have a question:

Is it normal that the bezel ring of this watch has no clicks? it just turns smooth in uni-direction. It honestly doesn't feel right, any small contact will turn the bezel.

I think these are the same as the vintage rolex, so yes it turn both ways with no clicks.


I wrote something like this before to tighten, not sure if it applies to these Tudors, but nevertheless:

Firstly, you need your watch and a blade.

Using the blade, slide it into one of the corner, and slowly apply force to lift the bezel up. (CAREFUL WITH THE BLADE, YOU DON'T WANT IT TO SLIP AND CUT YOUR FINGERS!)

Now you will have the bezel and the washer separated. Take note of how the washer was original placed.

Now take the washer, and slightly bend it. Not too much in case you snap it as it is a pretty thin piece of metal. You can always redo if its not tight enough.

Now put the washer back on the watch.

Put the bezel back, and press the edge with both you thumbs.
The bezel will snap in.

Wow thanks for the kind advise.

If the current condition is like vintage Rolex, then I can live with it.

But there is small wiggle of the bezel ring so I might try your method if it bothers me too much in the future.

I've been tempted to pick one up myself. Maybe something a little less "used" than the one I've got.

It shouldn't be a problem.
