Hello Everyone,

First of all I would like to thank all of you for your great posts in the various categories. I have learned a lot in the last year.

I was given my Grandfathers Tudor in 1986 by my Grandmother and I finally got it restored this past summer.

It received a complete service, new crystal, new Rolex crown, gold replating and a very complimentary crocodile strap.

The hands and dial remain original. I am extremely happy with it and can't believe what a gorgeous watch it is.

I haven't been able to find out very much information on it from the Tudor database so if anyone has any info on the date of this watch or any other info I would be very appreciative. Any guesses on the value would be of interest as well, not that I would ever sell it. The serial number is 225XXX and beneath that the model is 7949. Thanks.

Saxony in Kelowna, British Columbia did the work, however I did not deal direct with them.
