Tudor 79190 questions

[Finslayer83]

In doing some research on on the Tudor 79190 I've been able to find some interesting facts.

- appears it has more in common with the 1680 Submariner series than the 16610.

I really like this over say my current 14060M due to the matte dial, painted indicies, and less "shine" than its Rolex cousin. Before I further down this rabbit hole I have a few questions:

1.) Would anyone have the dial differences / measurements compared to a 14060 and/or 16610?

2.) Is a 93150 or 78790 bracelet compatible with the head?

3.) With a proper service would a 90's watch in your opinion be up for water activities?

About a year ago I wore a 1601 that was older than I am at a depth of about 30-33 meters. It was last serviced by RSC in 2013. Coincidentally, it was also subjected to multiple temperature changes as the water was cool at about 60’F but air temps were in the 90s to 100s.

The 1601 is no dive watch but it still works fine today. Your mileage may vary but I imagine a Tudor Sub would fare much better

I always loved the Tudor Submariner (with date). I was hoping to see it re-introduced at Basel this past show.

I don’t follow.

I’m looking to move my 14060M and find something with a matte dial.

5513/16800/etc are out of what I’m wanting in this but the 79190’s check all the boxes.

I can't say for sure if the newer bracelet would fit, but if I had to guess I'd say it will.

Also don't see any issue with a properly serviced watch from that era maintaining water resistance.

Don’t know the answer but awesome vintage watch that retain and appreciate in value over time. Find one with paper and box.

Thank you all for the input so far!

93150 fits. All dials age differently and there are multiple variants and service dials for each in circulation. You’ll be fine in the water. Case dimensions are very similar - the watches use the same crown.

So was I.

I had a Tudor 94110 Snowflake, which I put in for service at the RSC and was offered both a Rolex and Tudor signed bracelet to replace the original, badly stretched bracelet. I chose the Tudor bracelet, but I daresay the Rolex signed bracelet would've been the 93150 (and it should equally fit a 79190).

A properly serviced and pressure tested 79190 would definitely be up for water activities.

Good luck in your hunt! Those Tudor subs are fantastic.
