As a new member to your community a feast for your eyes
Thank you all for years of learning much while sitting on the side lines this is the first ever picture to leave my computer.
This was a part of several collections i bought in early eighties . i have details in my bio so won't recap again. For fun.which one doesn't belong. lol For the serious look at the 5508 face font logo (which) you can't see to well but will post more specific pic and post regard to this lost trip in time. in my opinion. This is top tier of 30 years of collecting and refining "The Art of the buy". with a bit of luck . Oh do have original riveted bracelet for 5508 . i kept it in condition which bought which is a Tessar flex band with Aqua-star water temp meter attached which holds many clues . Enjoy & Cheers Naren |

Thank to you all for your warm welcome, Will do it justice with individual shots and will help to update the Tudor serial number project.
This shot was taken over a year ago trying to capture all in one shot with background ,,,since then i've come a long way with Macro shots . Again i welcome any comment re:the 5508 without insert . in my years i have not seen an example with the rolex oyster on same line and the crown when stamped is not pretty. Ive stayed away from sending to Rolex Canada for servicing cause was warned they may change what i think was a watch used as proto type in early years as serial number starts with 71xxxx which to what i know goes back to 1954. the markers for sure are Radium as with little flash light exposer and lights out glows the green even with lights on has a green glow.not to mention the black backing is flawless. Look forward to more detailed shots and all the best. |
