Mid-sized Tudor Subs 75090 and 75190

[ncstate1201]

Just curious you don't see either of these too often. I have been on a bit of a Tudor Sub kick, so now I have a mid-size on its way. I have never seen or tried one, I have a small wrist so my guess is it will compliment my other Tudor Subs and I can put a band on it and wear it with a suit, I am thinking the smaller size may be dressier. But the real point of my post is to ask if anyone knows anything about the production numbers of these, are they more rare than their full size cousins (I do realize that made them sound fat)? It may end up being a catch and release, but always wanted to try one.

The only thing I know is that are less expensive than their 40mm cousins..

Congratulations, I'll look forwrd to some wrist shots

i have one and my Mom wears it. i bought it, but hte band was not big enough to wear home... i asked her to wear it home and she flat out refuses to return to me. its that nice!

mine is a 75190 black and around 1997. its almost exactly the same size as a full size DJ. the numbers are low compared to the 79190s. i say 5:1, but htis is only my observation and a guess.

i got mine for a steal from an uninformed dealer at a "diamond exchange" in FL. hee hee

It came today, but with mixed emotions. I love the watch and it fits right in with my others as shown in the pic. And I did get this cool Rolex Green Tiffany Sharkskin strap and buckle for it, but then again when I opened the box it wasn't running The good news is the seller said that he will give me a partial refund so I can keep the watch and get it serviced, in the pics he sent me prior to shipping it was clearly running. What a bummer it got bashed in shipping. Thank you fedex Anyways I love it on the strap and love it with the fam, so hopefully he does give me the partial refund as opposed to a full return. Sorry for the bad pic, was too lazy to setup all the appropriate lighting and it was dark and stormy outside so not enough light, but there is the little guy in the center with the blue flake in the foreground with his lollipop brother...

If your interested in an oyster, the 19MM "Tudor" clasped 9315 with 383B endlinks come up for sale occasionally at a reasonable price.

now that is a cool pic, I almost forgot to read your message. I am guessing the band is still folded link? I am strange in that I do not like the folded link at all. I still have another one in great condition in storage I am thinking of selling. I don't see the point of holding onto it, I don't wear it. I put an aftermarket on the watch since I can size it more easily without destroying the band. So I have an aftermarket on the snowflake in the pic, but I think it's fairly tough to tell, and if I want I could put the folded back on it. So I would probably pass on any for sale unless it was easily adjustable (screwed links).

You have a great collection, the blue snowflake is

thank you both, and thank you brian for the blue snowflake, it is another new arrival!

Tell us more about the not running... was the watch packed well? Did the packaging show evidence of abuse? Would the watch wind, but not run at all? Do you think it was an impact?

Just curious as to what would damage a sub in transit, thanx.

[ncstate1201]

The watch was packed in a Tudor pouch, it came on a strap, with a bracelet in the pouch separate. Everything seemed to be packaged fairly tightly, but then that pouch was in bubble wrap, then in cardboard, then bubble wrap outside of that...etc. etc. I definitely think it was packaged fine when it comes to protecting the crystal, or anything crushing the watch, but it seemed like it had some room to move around. And even if it didn't move around there wasn't too much to absorb the impact of being tossed. I guess if it had come with the box most people would wrap the box up in bubble wrap and another box, and even inside the watch box I would usually put bubble wrap. Are you tired of packaging talk yet? But in the case where there would be boxes I think that would absorb a lot more of the impact. Just my opinion, but like I said the hands, including the second were clearly advancing in the pics I bought it from. So I do believe it was running first, plus the seller seems pretty reputable and has been good to deal with!

My experience with servicing these Tudors has been positive. Much cheaper and quicker than in house rolexes. Less watchmaker bitching with the Tudors
