I haven’t had any vintage Tudor serviced by him (my Tudor doesn’t need it yet, and he said he would send my vintage Tudor out to Rolex for service), but he is the most approachable watchmaker I’ve ever met, and really enjoys discussing watches. He should be able to tell you what work is needed to get your watch in working condition versus doing a restoration. Good luck! Whatever you do, it’s a very cool watch, and you honor your father’s memory by getting it to work and wearing it. |

It's already getting serviced by a watchmaker that I trust but I will maybe contact this guy regardless to see what he has to say about my watch. Thank you |

Don't bring it to someone that is going to send it to RSC. RSC will most likely ignore it, unless it has EXTREME circumstances attached to it.

If it's your dad's watch I wouldn't worry about it being the wrong dial.
I would want to restore it ad he had it...

Yeah after doing some research I read that RSC isn't too kind about watches that aren't 100% genuine. With mine for sure having an aftermarket dial it's not a good idea.

I'm sure he would've wanted to have an original dial if he had the money to do it. I don't either but definitely something i'd like to do in the future.

In time, acceptable ones will come along. Price for the correct dial will run $1400 - 2500, that's the bad news. The other bad news is that the original watch was almost certainly a Blue Snowflake, so to be correct you will need a blue insert, which will run $700 for a service one to 2K for the original style 1968. Almost impossible to find a black 7021 dial and the blue is usually worth 2K more anyway. Sooooo, rough numbers - to restore it to original condition is going to run 3500-5000, and you will have a watch worth 8-12K, and sentimentally, worth far more. I am not trying to discourage you, just be realistic - reach out for any Tudor questions you would have.
