Tudor 7149 - Dial Help Needed Please

[AndySpence]

Hey folks,

Firstly, thanks a lot for this vast resource of information on the forum, and I'm really pleased to be around so many knowledgable people in this space!

I'm looking at potentially purchasing a Tudor Monte Carlo 7149, with a 7838 bracelet and 382 end links. This is my first 'dip' in the world of vintage watches. I've always loved the Monte Carlo and I'm thankful to be in a position to be able to purchase one. That being said, I'm by no means an expert and I was hoping that I might be able to lean in to the expertise of the forum to help give the watch in question a once over and make sure everything looks OK before I pull the trigger. EDIT: I realise that I've titles this thread 'Dial help' but actually, just help across the entire watch is what I'm looking for, but I was thinking about the dial specifically at the time.

There are a few things that I'm not certain about, which I was hoping to get some clarity on: The numbers around the 60 min track look to be quite thick (I've found another that looks similar, but the majority seem to be a lot thinner text). In fact, the Subdial number font also looks a little thick, and perhaps all around a little sloppy? Outside of that, the hour and minute hands look slightly different from others I've seen in that, they're one solid block of lume from tip to tip, rather than there being lume on the end of the hands. I've seen similar on other sites, but it doesn't seem like the norm. Please see below for a range of pictures of the watch in question:

Anyway, apologies for my rambling and I hope I've managed to explain myself adequately. Any advice, information or insight in to what I'm looking at would be greatly appreciated! I should also mention that I do have some other photos if there's anything specific you'd like to see!

Many thanks and all the best,
Andy
