Description: Incredibly beautiful 7928 Tudor GILT Submariner with unpolished case and beautiful dial. A watch untouched since 1967.
The case is in perfect and unpolished condition. Perfect super thick lugs with correct wide and sharp edges and the original matte finish on top of the lugs fully present. As you can see from the pictures the case is exactly what we collectors are looking for when it comes to early Rolex or Tudor Subs.
Of course there are one or two signs of wear, but overall I have rarely been so in love with the condition of a case.
These dials are extremely rare to find because they are only produced for a relatively short time and are often in rather poor condition. This dial shows the typical light matting of the Tudor Gilt dials, which is absolutely even and, for me, really falls into the top three of all Tudor Gilt dials I have ever held in my hand. Furthermore, a wonderfully aged lume and the matching hands complete the overall look of the watch.
The bezel is original and wonderfully sharp. The bezel inlay is an excellent MK2 or long5 bezel inlay which harmonizes perfectly with the dial thanks to its color aging into a blue tone. Of course, it also fits the watch perfectly! As befits such a great Submariner, an old original t19 superdomed with the wonderfully high curvature is installed. This is simply part of making a Submariner shine in the perfect vintage look.
The 7206 oyster bracelet is in top condition. Unpolished with minimal stretch and the correct 80s end links, it fits the watch perfectly in terms of quality and of course wears just as perfectly on the wrist. Clasp code is 1/67 and therefore it is the original bracelet for the watch.
Conclusion: Finding an absolutely untouched watch from 1966 is now an absolute highlight for collectors and dealers at the same time and if the quality is right, you can simply be happy.
