Info:

The Tudor 7909 comes with both a silvered dial and gloss black dial – and it's on some very, very rare occasions that the black gloss dial turns brown, or tropical. It cannot be over-emphasised how rare it is to fine a Tudor Oyster with a tropical dial. The case, dial and movement of this piece are in excellent condition, the movement is fully restored and it comes with a rare riveted bracelet, which is in superb condition.
