And the wait Begins. Incoming Sub

It will not get here soon enough. The wait is going to kill me. It only took 23 years to get another one. It is a 75090 ; Jim

Lovely Sub Jim and pretty thin on the ground too - I've only ever seen one mid-size Tudor Sub 'in the flesh' and that was a black dial/bezel one.
Yours looks great
As for the age - my best guess would be mid 90's going by the slightly 'raised' lume on the dial markers that a lot of Tudor Sub's seem to have from this era...but, as I said, this is just a guess on my part.

That's a sharp looking Tudor Sub. It has such a clean look. What year is the one you are getting?

I hope it arrives soon. There was another gentleman that posted one the other day on a black watch band that I absolutely loved. It looked so good I am tempted to do the same to my Sub. I would put the band that came with it in storage and wear the black one.

Let's see some pics when it arrives.

From what I can tell it would be mid 80's or eirlier. I think Tudor only used 6 didget serial numbers up untill the mid 80's. Then they used the letter Bxxx xxx untill the mid 90's and then letter Hxxx xxx into the 00's; Jim

Sorry Jim, of course yes - your quite right. After reading your reply and looking at the photo's again (properly this time!) I think your spot-on that your 75090 is prop. early 80's.
Nice score whatever the era - Neil.

Yes I think that's right Dan. By the way you have a great Tudor collection. I have seen your pics. Your Tudor Chrono's are awsome. I also had one. This Sub replaces the one I bought new in 1985 and then had to sell. One other question Dan. What size bracelet does the Midsize sub take? 19mm? ; Jim
