Hi Guys,

I can't believe I got away from the forum nearly two years! I came back on after a friend sold me a 7024/0 oysterdate last night. I had no bracelet for it so I threw it on a handmade job. What do you think and thanks for looking!

donaker · 22 November 2016, 11:38 PM

That's a very nice clean look. Welcome back!

cpefy3 · 23 November 2016, 12:08 AM

Looks great!! love the color of the dial with the brown leather!!

gerard88t · 23 November 2016, 12:19 AM

Thank you Guys! What about this strap?

offrdmania · 23 November 2016, 12:32 AM

Love the jumbos, I think they are very underrated. Great strap and beautiful watch you have there.

gerard88t · 23 November 2016, 12:36 AM

Thank you!

Richard Carver · 23 November 2016, 12:47 AM

Mmmmm jumbo! Congrats, don't see very many of the non-DD 38mm. My sweet 7020...

gerard88t · 23 November 2016, 12:55 AM

Sweet DD! I made a fall picture with the darker strap.

janice&fred · 23 November 2016, 10:38 AM

Dan Pierce · 23 November 2016, 01:30 PM

Nice jumbo and looks good on the rally strap.

janice&fred · 23 November 2016, 05:14 PM

you know dan...for years you have posted pics of tudors that are much more awesomer (is that a word?) than mine and even after all this time i still hate you for it. richard carver is about to join you on our list too! him and his tudors and date justs...pfffft.

Richard Carver · 23 November 2016, 06:08 PM

Ha! Your and Janice's collection makes mine look like small beer indeed. :)

Vincent65 · 23 November 2016, 08:10 PM

Looks great!

JimSnyder · 24 November 2016, 04:15 AM

I have this one from 1984

JimSnyder · 24 November 2016, 04:40 AM

One more pic

gerard88t · 24 November 2016, 06:31 AM

Thanks for sharing about your Jumbo's Guys. They look really smart and understated. The timekeeping is rather good on mine so far. How about yours?

zapokee · 26 November 2016, 12:36 PM

Absolutely beautiful!

So much warmth and character in these dials. Here's mine from 1969:

gerard88t · 26 November 2016, 04:29 PM

Very nice looking Tudors Guys! Hope others will post more photos of theirs!

RKTudor · 27 November 2016, 01:25 AM

Love them. So affordable. So nice. Great pick up and happy to have you back.

Thanks! Good to have a reason to be back. Lost interest for awhile there.

Here;s a couple of 7017 jumbo DDs. These are award watches presented to players in the Cotton Bowl Classic.

Cool presentatuon gifts!

Super!

Sorry to resurrect this thread and thanks for sharing your Jumbos.

Just wondering, are the handset for the Jumbo still readily available from Rolex?

I have the 9080/0 Jumbo, which has the same hands as most of the models in this post.

Thanks!

Hkspwrsche · 3 February 2022, 03:18 PM

Nice! Welcome back

zapokee · 4 February 2022, 09:01 AM

I miss Carver. This old thread shows some of his great contribution to the community.

Still feels weird that he's not around anymore. RIP, friend.

I don't believe Rolex will service a Tudor Jumbo anymore. Even if they do, you'll end up with a set of new bright-white hands (possibly Datejust) that won't match the vintage feel.

I'd seek to source a set of vintage hands instead. Good luck with it!

Yeps. I was thinking that (mismatch) also. However, I do have a Jumbo with the white dial that’s in really good, original condition, so a newer set of hands may not clash too much.

Actually, looking at the hands again, they aren’t in bad shape. Moisture marks (don’t know what they’re called) are the primary issue. Lume is still in tact. I’ll see if watchmaker can ‘tidy up’ the hands instead.

Thanks!

Yes, have the lume stabilized by an independent vintage specialist. They'll lacquer the rear of the hands so that they're stable but not affected cosmetically.

Jumbo lume is famously crumbly. It's fallen out of the last two Tudor Date-Days I've had... It's a real pain because it gets into the movement, so you have to pay for a full movement service AND hand reluming.
