Why This Watch Matters

Much more than a Rolex-copycat, this 1969 Tudor is perfectly proportioned and features a beautiful gray dial.

The Full Story

This Tudor "Datejust" is pretty awesome, the Rolex Oyster case works its usual magic, especially combined with a smooth bezel. Furthermore, the medium gray sunburst dial is incredibly nice on this watch. The dial is further accented by the applied Tudor shield emblem at 12 o’clock, and the bright white indexes. On the wrist, it makes total sense with the Rolex Oyster bracelet with folded links. Overall, this watch is an awesome example of everything Tudor was doing right back in the day and shows how many of Rolex parts were used in manufacturing such a watch.

What we Love and What You Should Know

This watch is in great condition. The case is well-preserved with only light surface wear. There is one small nick on the top right lug that is to be expected for the age of this watch. The dial is in exceptional condition and all the lume plots are full. The bracelet has some light stretch to it but that is to be expected.
