Info: |
This particular Tudor Submariner is an exceptionally well-preserved clean example –The case appears to be unpolished, the lugs are very thick with lovely original chamfers and the bezel insert is a gorgeous example of the a perfect faded blue with very few scratches. The dial is almost perfect with only a tiny bit of restoration on the edge at 11 o'clock. The Tudor Submariner 76100 is considered to be a transitional reference, only produced for a little while in the between 1984 and about 1989, it replaced the reference 9411/0 and was produced in both blue and the more numerous black dials and it only existed with a date function. A rarity on this piece is that between the first and second series there is a small difference on the dial in that at 6 o'clock the writing is T SWISS T, but for the later version of the 76100 it becomes T-SWISS-T, a minor but important subtlety. The dial exhibits the traditional triangle-shaped indexes, painted in tritium. The rest of the watch displays the solid Rolex engineering we love, explaining why the case, crown and case back are engraved with Rolex logo. This is a rare diver with a very cool look and believe it or not it's much rarer than the 9411/0 Snowflake. |
