Thanks for your info. IMO, I think it is possible for tiger chrono with rolex corwn / rolex case back at the transition period of s/n around B95x,xxx though I have not yet come across one. I have in fact come across chrono at such transition period that came with rolex crown / tudor case back and vice versa as well.

For 7021/0, there should be a year stamp inside the case back.

According to samples of my archive, for 7021/0 with s/n of 73x,xxx, its case back normally stamped with 68.

The numbers on my watch are slightly different in that the number of digits is five rather than six. I have had this watched serviced and I was assured that it is authentic, but I would like to know more about it.
So there are two diffeent numbers on this watch on one end it reads "Stainless Steel", 942XX. On the other end it reads "1239XX"

I assume that the first number is the S/N. What then is the second number?
From what I can gleem this is a Model 79180 "Big Block, Reverse Panda" What more can I learn about this watch?

The serial numbers are normally 6 digit but when it reached 99x,xxx in around 1984, it re-started again starting with 5 digit serial number of 1x,xxx. When the serial number reached 3xx,xxx in late 80's, it added an alphabet "B" in front of these 6 digit serial number.

For big block with ref 94xx0, its serial range are approx from 87x,xxx to 26x,xxx, which also included some 5-digit serial.

I need some help with this one and someone here I hope knows the answer.

I have an old Tudor, Oyster Commander... Now I dont know when they began serial numbering there watches but this one is only serial number 39,000. I have seen the same model (Oyster Commander) by RWC that was mentioned it was a 1942, and serial numbered 243,000, the case was not exactly like mine, mine is round and the RWC was more of a squared off shape but the movement was the same, 17j.

I believe that mine is from the late 1920s to mid 1930s but I dont know. Anyone have a clue or can tell me more?

[mike375]

I figured out how to post the photos of it :)

Hello everyone and thanks for the valuable info.

According to what I gather, there is no way that a Tudor model 74000 could have serial number 234XXX.

However, in the pictures I got from the seller of my new aqcuisition, this clearly seems to be the case:

at 12 o'clock: 74000 and at 6 o'clock (approximate allignment):

STAINLESS STEEL
2 3 4 X X X

The stamping seems quite professionally done on both sides (pretty deep and sure lines)

What can I think about this?

Many thanks to all knowledgeable members who will take their time to answer this.

Hi all,

I'm new to this wonderful forum and would like to get some more info on my new Tudor Prince Oysterdate. I would like to get an idea of when this watch was produced. All the relevant info you can find below. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure this watch is authentic, but as I'm a novice I can't be 100% sure. Please let me know if the second question is inappropriate for this thread.

Thank you in advance!

Stainless Steel Tudor Prince Oysterdate, ref: 7106/0
S/N: 73XXXX

Hi I am mentioning the following for your data base, This watch came from Hong Kong, I bought it used and of all my watches inc my president , this one is the most accurate..to 1 second per day! its a 72003 and other number is b499919.
I believe watch is a mid size.

[Morrie]

I should also have mentioned its diameter is 31mm excluding crown and movement is an ETA 2824-2..
The bezel is gold and my understanding is that it will be 18 k, can anyone comment on that please.

[mensun518]

useful information!

[Steve101]

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone can help me, I have aquired a Tudor Rolex and would like to find out if it is genuine firstly and if there is any info like date or what it maybe worth.

The strap has a Pat no on it, I think it is 717309 although it is very small and hard to read, it also has B&S Rolex on the strap with a hall mark, inside the rear casing it has B&S made for Rolex 409758, hallmark 9 375.

On the movement it has 17 Rubies and Swiss made.

I have tried to take some photos but they dont come out very well, I will try again if you think it will help.

Thanks for any help.

Remarks : * is the estimated S/N due to limited info



For Tudor Chrono

Model No. Approx S/N Range
703x/0 ~ 75x,xxx to ~ 76x,xxx
71x9/0 ~ 77x,xxx to ~ 84x,xxx
94xx/0, 94xx0 ~ 87x,xxx to ~ 26x,xxx
791x0 ~ 27x,xxx to ~ B 63x,xxx
792x0, 792x0P ~ B 63x,xxx to ~ H 74x,xxx

For Tudor Sub

Model No. Approx S/N Range
7922，7924 ~ 24x,xxx to 29x,xxx (Possible as early as 140K)
7928，7928/0 ~ 30,xxx to 62x,xxx
7016/0 ~ 62x,xxx to 82x,xxx (Possible as early as 570K)
7021/0 ~ 73x,xxx to 78x,xxx
9401/0，94010 ~ 84x,xxx to 1xx,xxx
9411/0, 94110 ~ 79x,xxx to 96x,xxx (Possible as late as 1x,xxx)
76100 ~ 70,xxx to 22x,xxx
7x090 ~ 30x,xxx to B67x,xxx
7x190 ~ B 67x,xxx to H 14x,xxx


Some More Interesting Findings in Tudor Serial Numbers :

1. For 71x9/0 monte carlo, the only serial numbers I am able to collect started with 77x,xxx, 82x,xxx and 84x,xxx and not others. Still not sure if there are other serial numbers for the 71x9/0 monte carlo series.

2. For contemporary Tudor models, H serial is produced in parallel with O and J serial (J serial should O serial). That is, year of 2007 should correspond to H7 serial and also J1 serial. The recent issued Tudor Iconaut I have come across come with serial J18x,xxx.

3. Tudor reference number started to use "/" from serial number of 59x,xxx (e.g. 7016/0) and such "/" no longer existed in serial number of 89x,xxx (e.g. 94300).

My Tudor Sub (lollipop hour hand - Blue face and bezel) is a model 76100, and the SN is 76180. I thought it was around 1983/84 but now I'm confused based on your serial number dates

[Jolle]

Hi,

Could I get some help from here?
I am looking to buy a 7020/0 with a serial number #2795XXX.
The serial number actually is 7 digits long.
I think it is an early 70s.

I have tried to read for some information here, but it seems quite hard to find.
What can you tell about this serial number? I thought its always 6 digits? Or 5?

Many thanks in adwance!

Jolle

[linesiders]

Should be 6 digits. Can you post photos of the serial / ref engravings in the Vintage section here?

[Jolle]

Here are two pics.

Thankfull for your help!

Jolle

[linesiders]

I might be wrong but I am pretty sure that Tudor does not have 2 million serial ranges with the 7017/7020 Jumbos and I am pretty sure that is not a good font.

I strongly recommend that you take clear photos of the ref & serial sides - without the glare - so everything can be seen and post them here https://rolexforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=32 in the vintage section so people can properly comment.

Based on what I see I have a lot of concerns which is why i think you really really need to post this in the vintage section, with clear photos of the entire watch in addition to the engravings, so people can properly comment.

[imagwai]

I have just acquired a 76100 Sub. Serial number 1328xx. Doesn't seem to match up to the list here in terms of serial numbers but I think it's a 1984 model. Definitely genuine.

[terri Tyler]

I think I have a tudor princess oyster and know nothing about it. The only numbers I can find are on the clasp and they are 6248 11 and M11. I think the model number is 92400

[AndyGB]

Gents,

Watch is a bottom of the draw find from a close relative. It has been there for circa 28 years untouched.

First posting on here so hope I have attached the images correctly.

Watch is marked 9411/0 between the lugs and has serial no 88####

Bezel rotates too freely and appears to be missing the spring. Appreciate thoughts on its authenticity

[AndyGB]

Can't work out how to post two pictures. Here is the movement marked 2784

[BluWater1der]

I recently acquired a Tudor Submariner (midsize) 75090 with serial number B323xxx. Mine has the sapphire crystal, 36mm case, Rolex crown and case. I was trying to sort out where the serial number fit into the Tudor schema as I previously saw 75090 with a serial number B33xxxx. Any help would be appreciated!

[Curious_Bystander]

A vintage Tudor Oysterdate came across my desk with a model number 90133 and a serial number 96xx16 placing manufacture in 1981. Can anybody shed light on this model?

[fastfras]

My 7021/0 has an inner case stamped 1V 68 serial number 737933. FYI

[J!m]

My 9411/0

Also 88XXXX serial like the blue one above...

[integrale]

Tudor Prince Date Hydronaut
ref 89190P
