Hi,
I am new to this forum

I have just purchased a Rolex Tudor Oyster Royal Watch, the watch is gold plated and has a Tudor Rose at 12 o'clock on the dial.
I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some information on it please?
Thank you very much

I have ( hopefully) attached some images of it :)

it's probably from the 60's I believe the royals were for sale in Canada. it has a 17 jewel manual wind movement in it. retty neat watches

An Oyster Royal is a cool little watch. If I'm not mistaken, the word "Rolex" doesn't belong there and was probably added during a redial, but enjoy the watch!

I don't think its on the dial, that's probably how it was advertised to him.

Ah yes, the "Ro" visible in the pic is part of the word "royal."

would love to see some better pics!

Hi,
thank you all for your replies.
In answer to the question re the the dial, It has a Tudor Rose then under that it has the word Tudor and under that it has the word oyster and finally Royal.
I have taken some hopefully better pics, only the camera on my HTC one x isn't all its cracked up too be. :(
Thank you all once again.

Nice! The worn gf case gives it a cool two-tone look.

Vynster59 · 22 May 2013, 03:02 AM

Thank you very much Powerfunk, I paid £375 English pounds for it< don't think it was too much cash , but then again this is only my second Rolex,so i really wouldn't know ? I had to let the other one go a few years ago now :(

Kind regards,
Vyn.

That price sounds spot-on to me. Enjoy!

PF much appreicated.
I just love the retro look, I need to get a tudor leather strap and buckle for it, as the one it has on is 'after market'. that will come in time I guess, just keep my eyes open ....

Rgds,
Vyn.
