Hi. The blue one is a Tudor 76100 submariner. Tudor are made by Rolex but usually have an ETA movement. This particular watch is actually a 1986 case number with ETA movement 2824-2. The caseback is correctly stamped inside with 76100. It's a gorgeous watch with Tritium plots, blue dial and incredible faded blue/grey bezel. These are very hard to find and even harder in this kind of shape. It comes with the later 78360 bracelet with Tudor locking dive clasp. Another incredible feature of the watch is the top hat plexi, an almost identical watch to the 1680 Rolex bar the dial colour and the fact it has the ETA movement, in fact mine even has a rolex crown which is quite common on Tudors of this vintage.

There is some debate as to whether the hands on this one have been changed at service many years ago. If they have it's nothing which has been done recently and the previous owner was adamant they had not been changed. I believe a few transitional examples were sold with the mercedes hands but it's very difficult to authenticate via Tudor records so as far as we know this one is all original.

Hope that helps.
