Junk shop Tudor

Hi everyone,
I picked this up this week from a .... ' non-authorised' store...😉
Can anyone tell me anything about it?
Thanks,
Giles

the crown on the dial looks suspect - I would think it should be a rose (early 60's, late 50's circa) for an early tudor...

Agree, probably an older redial - would want more, bigger, better pics to tell more.

Thanks for your comments chaps - I'll try to post some better pics as soon as the sun comes out again :-)
By the way, the serial number is 128,000.
As the earliest serial number table I can find lists 240,000 as 1956, could this one be considerably older than that?
Thanks again,

Giles

nice watch. Yes, it's a redial. The band should 19mm, not 20mm.

Thanks Vlad - the new strap is in the post already :-)
Do you know the age of it based on the serial?
