Tudor Watches for Sale

A vintage Tudor is a Rolex Oyster case and bracelet with a Tudor dial and an ETA movement inside, which is why the Submariners of the 1960s and 1970s wear like their Rolex siblings and cost a fraction of them. The vintage era runs to the sapphire-crystal 79090 of the late 1980s; the 1990s watches (79190, the Prince Date chronographs, the late Oysterdates) are neo-vintage, and the Black Bay of 2012 onward is modern Tudor with its own cases and, from 2015, its own movements.

The parts story is the opposite of Rolex: because the cases and bracelets were Rolex, the right Rolex service parts are correct on a Tudor, and the wrong ones (a later Rolex bezel insert, a Rolex-signed crown on a watch that left with a Tudor rose) are the things to check.

Our verifier opens every auction lot and notes what is original to the reference: the dial and its lume (the Snowflake hands and square plots on a 7016 or 9411 should have aged together), the bezel insert, the crown signature, the bracelet and end links, the caseback stamping and the ETA calibre. The report ships with the watch, and the listing's condition notes say the same things before you bid. The Tudor serial number guide dates a case you are considering.

Where enough recent sales exist, the table above shows a typical range beside each family, built from dealer, auction and Grey Market sales for the references on that family's page and rounded to a band. A Snowflake Submariner sits at the top of the vintage range, a Prince Oysterdate at the bottom, and a Black Bay in between with far less variance.

Auctions here open low and run without a reserve, so a lot's closing price is whatever the room decides that week. The sold results on this page are what Tudor has actually gone for here, before the buyer's premium.
