I just received a mint condition Tudor Lady-Sub I purchased from a collector. The watch looks much smaller than I thought. It's so miniscule compared to the full size Submariner. It's like an infant, and I was handling it like one too.

The watch came complete with box and papers. I understand it's a rare piece, and I think it's even rarer in the condition it's in. I got it at a very good price and I am quite pleased

I can't wait to give it to my wife later today.

I'm sure your wife will love it.

My wife cherishes her Prince date.
Well done,

Vincent65 · 31 October 2012, 05:41 AM

Awesome! Love it - sure she will too!

Lgear080 · 31 October 2012, 05:51 AM

My sister wore a mini for awhile before she upsized.

I thought that one was tiny, but the lady is even smaller.

She will love it no doubt.

kdub · 31 October 2012, 07:19 AM

I met up with my wife for lunch earlier and gave her the watch. She loves it!

sea-dweller · 1 November 2012, 12:06 PM

Very nice!

Rags · 11 November 2012, 04:22 PM

Excellent choice. Would be nice if Tudor brought back the sub & the mini sub line.

mmmk604 · 11 November 2012, 08:52 PM

LOL I wish they still made these

joe100 · 12 November 2012, 11:23 AM

Tudor made Subs in 4 sizes. Full, Midi, Mini, and lady. Or 40, 38, 35mm and of course your Lady Sub. So cool!

financeman · 12 November 2012, 12:27 PM

That is a great looking watch. That is the first time I have seen one of those. Thanks for sharing

BNA/LION · 12 November 2012, 12:55 PM

Looks Great! She is going to Luv it!

Psmith · 12 November 2012, 09:10 PM

Very nice

jatco · 13 November 2012, 06:05 AM

Excellent ..Im sure she's loves it, - pleased as punch..
Who wouldn't..
Kudos...

nowzen · 4 December 2012, 02:49 AM

Congrats... looks like it's in really nice condition.

Am curious what you paid.
We have a few mini-subs in Hong Kong, but have never seen the Lady-Sub here.

kdub · 4 December 2012, 02:58 AM

Hello Nowzen,

I paid CAD$1100 shipped for it. It was from a Canadian watch collector/flipper. It was his wife's watch that she had for about 10 years but rarely worn.

The watch is dated around 1992 or so and has never had service. It is currently losing about 1.5min per day. I will have to send it in for service soon.

jatco · 4 December 2012, 04:32 AM

Hi kdub....
You might want to bring it in to Norbert Zerbes, the German Watcbmaker in Yaletown...he did a great service job on my (never b4 serviced) Tudor...for a reasonable price. It keeps better time now than my newer TT DJ......

kdub · 4 December 2012, 04:36 AM

Thank you Jatco..

yeah I was thinking of taking it to Norbert or Otto Fiedl in Hotel Vancouver. I have neither used their services before. I have only heard about them.

How much did Norbert charge for your Tudor service if you don't mind me asking

jatco · 4 December 2012, 05:01 AM

Not at all. Norbert charged only $200. for full service...and was completed in a week. He'll do follow-up regulations if needed..
He's been a watchmaker for over 30+ years....

kdub · 4 December 2012, 05:03 AM

Oh wow $200 is definitely affordable. I thought it may be $400-500 considering the watch was never serviced before.

thanks for the advise

jatco · 4 December 2012, 01:33 PM

I agree. ..
My Tudor ( c.1997-98) was never serviced before either...tho' the seller thought it was. When Norbert opened it up..he saw no 'traditional' markings of 'service', hense the need to bring it up to date..!
I just checked my Tudor against NRC time..(as a 'standard') - and its pretty close to acceptable standards...for a mechanical watch..IMO..

varld · 5 December 2012, 06:09 AM

ohhh pretty :)

dysondiver · 5 December 2012, 06:24 AM

stunning

honitel · 5 December 2012, 07:48 AM

I am sure your wife will love and cherish that too..:)

FYI - Guaranteed for 1 year...(follow-up regulation(s) included).. Can't beat that, imo..!

daunwaun · 5 December 2012, 01:37 PM

Fantastic watch! thanks for sharing!

DrLindaPhD · 22 December 2012, 02:30 PM

There's a 26mm sub too. I'm looking for one.

Lisa · 22 December 2012, 03:14 PM

Would love to see a pic of that on your wife's wrist! It's so cool!
