Tudor Submariner automatic diver’s watch. This is the early rare “Tudor Rose” with the rose logo on the dial. The watch was originally purchased in 1968 and comes with fantastic provenance. It comes in the original box and also the original copy of the credit sale agreement. This shows that the watch was purchased by a certain Emyr Jones who resided in Abergele, Denbighshire, North Wales. He was a seaman in the Royal Navy aboard HMS Tartar. He purchases the watch through the Army, Navy and Air Force Institutes, where military personnel could buy equipment such as this watch and repay the military over a period of months. The original purchase price was £37 after a discount given and was repaid over 14 months as shown in the schedule that comes with the watch. This is all fantastic provenance and history to go with the watch. The case back is also lightly engraved with “E Jones” As it is a light engraving it could easily be polished out with minimum effect on the watch, but it is probably left original as the engraving contributes to the provenance as it tallies up with the name on the schedule. The Tudor Submariner automatic diver's watch is another watch that needs little introduction, and coming only second to it’s big brother the Rolex Submariner, the Tudor is amongst the most successful and widely known divers watch in the world – mainly because it is identical in looks to the Rolex Submariner, but sports a different movement.  Like the Rolex, it is the watch that set the standard in professional divers watches and one that most other divers watches aspire to emulate. This particular example is a full size model in mint and seemingly worn very little. It has the much desired matte dial without the white metal indices surrounds making it less with less glare and more legible. It also has the raised acrylic plexi crystal. It has the large screw down Rolex twinlock crown with Rolex coronet logo on the crown. It is 200 metres resistant, sturdy bi directional, smooth friction operated rotating bezel in the same colour black as the dial with screwed down crown. The dial, crystal, case and bracelet are virtually flawless.  The crown is screwed down for water resistance, and the case back is stamped with “Original Oyster Case by Rolex Geneva” with the Rolex crown logo.  It comes on a fabric military strap. Dimensions are: width is 40 mm excluding crown, 44 mm including crown and 47 mm lug to lug and thickness is 10.5 mm.  VIN 560.560.3195
