Hello to all. This new member is interested in Tudor and Rolex watches. My first purchase was over 30 years ago, a nice Submariner in mint condition, which I purchased in London for £175.00. Only years later was i told it was a "Red Sub" and of some value.......

Now have collection of Rolex and Tudors, including mint GMT Master, Hydronaut, gold plated prince oysterdate, gold capped prince oysterdate and Jumbo sized prince oysterdate......

I am interested in learning more about Tudors, and would be happy to talk with other collectors....

The Red Sub was sold last year to a Mr Robert Dowling.....and the GMT purchased from him at the same time......so I am pleased with the deal, and the excellent provenance I now have in the GMT.....

Welcome to TRF Philip, R. Dowling the book author, collector, etc. of TZ? I'm sure your dealing with him was very professional. Hope you enjoy your stay here :o)

PHILIPC · 20 November 2006, 06:32 PM

As soon as I get some time, I will post some pictures of my GMT and the Tudors. Yes, the GMT was bought here in England from Mr Dowling, the Rolex expert, as part exchange for my Red Sub. He issues a very nice certificate with the watch, detailing provenance of the watch, a detailed photo and the purchase date and purchasers name, all printed on heavy stock. Other sellers should follow his example........
