60s beauty

Just acquired this 60s beauty Tudor alarm 7926 with complete box and paper. It is only 34mm but back to 60s it considered normal size at that time. It comes with riveted oyster bracelet and extremely comfortable to wear.

The watch alarm works well without problem and accuracy within 10-20 seconds. Not bad considered for its age of more than 50 yo. :)

This is my oldest vintage watch so far after my RO Jumbo. Love the look of the vintage and I hope you all will enjoy these vintages too.

Beautiful. I've been looking at old Advisors myself lately. Congratulations. Any pics of the bix and paper?

Hi Adam, will find time to take the pictures of the box and paper later. Should give yourself a try on this vintage advisor. It is fun to play with the alarm. I set the alarm according to my appointment.

Very cool I like that a lot!

I was recently looking at a vintage Seiko version of the advisor... A different complication.

Looks great - that smooth bezel even makes it a bit Milgaussy. It doesn't look too small on you at all. Congrats on a great acquisition!

From what I know

The alarm watch was very popular during the 50s and 60s. Would love to see your vintage seiko alarm if you get it later. Don't forget to post.

Agreed with you adam

It does wear bigger on wrist due to the clean dial and smaller bezel.

Thanks buddies for all of your comments! I am amazed by the 34mm size but it wear much bigger than I thought initially. It is super light and comfortable. I always have this feeling especially wear those vintages. Vintage rocks!!

Post your vintage Tudor if you have any to share. Would love to see those beauties.
