Hello From Cambridge England - Tudor Nut

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....

Welcome to TRF, Phillip. Glad you decided to join our merry madhouse. Stick around and join the fun.

Oh, as the others have said, we love pics. And we would particularly like pics of some of those beautiful specimens you listed.

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.....

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........
