Is this a "piranha bezel" on this Tudor Jumbo Date+Day?

[powerfunk]

The bezel on this 7019/3 on eBay doesn't look like a regular fluted bezel to me:


It looks like what AVW once called a "piranha bezel" on a Rolex 1605:


Does anyone have any more familiarity with these bezels? Thanks!

I believe so, and saw one on a 1605 can't remember where, found it. I personally love the look. This may be the same watch ? Chris

Never seen that on a Tudor Date-Day. For me it has to be a smooth bezel.

Dial mottling around the 9:00 marker says yes. Nice watch all the same

The Tudor looks like gold that has been polished, to me. I've never seen the "piranha", how utterly fascinating! Thanks so much for posting!

I love it and it's a first for me, not pretending to be well Rolex educated, though.

Maybe because my late father's 1955 DJ has a fluted bezel, smoothies are not to my personal liking.

Thanks for sharing. This Forum is a MUST.

Super-classic watch. Your father had great taste.

Beautiful man. He looks very much like me (although without the lockdown belly...). And are those my RayBan Aviators? And is that my DateJust?

@Zapokee-san

This is 1956, my father is on 12k Aviators (below) and with your 6305, indeed.

I have worked for a Honda Motor Co. Ltd. Gempo and to me you sound like the most western Nipponic on earth! Where the heck are you from?

Now, quiz for Friday morning: What's on my father's wrist in the last picture (1958)?

[carwashchris]

Edit this is a bark bezel ! Wrong picture

[carwashchris]

My guess is a sub, but the crown looks like YG ???

That's bark, not Pirahna. Piranha has a tooth shape. Beautiful watch, though.

Originally from the UK.

Those vintage Aviators are awesome. I'm guessing your dad's wearing a Sub in the last pic, and in that era it might be a 6536 or a 6538. Do you still have it?

We seem to have derailed the thread somewhat, so to get us back on track, here's my 1969 Tudor Date-Day with the smooth bezel:
