It&#8217;s polished but still has plenty of substance, clean proportions, and no deep scratches, dents, or anything like that. It could, of course, be given a polish but I&#8217;d leave it as it is. The watch is 55 years old, and the charm is there!   <\/p>\n<p>The highlight, however, is the dial. It&#8217;s a first Tudor Submariner dial in great condition. As the pictures perfectly show, the print is wonderfully clear and the patina\u2026well, the patina is simply &#8220;badass.&#8221; A super cool, even, and very strong patina that makes this watch look amazing on the wrist. You can also clearly see the structure of the lume, as Tudor used a coarse grain for the lume until the early 1970s.    <\/p>\n<p>The hands are also a highlight, as they are the correct set of hands with the so-called BIG LOLLIPOP sweep hand. It&#8217;s called like that because the ball containing the lume material is significantly larger than on later models. I love it.  <\/p>\n<p>The bezel is still perfectly sharp, and the inlay is a later MK4 inlay that was installed during a service. The bezel is tritium, and the glas is an original T19 superdomed, perfectly rounding off the look. <\/p>\n<p>The watch comes on a brand-new green Molequin leather strap (green because it matches the patina perfectly) with a Rolex steel pin buckle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: If you&#8217;re looking for expression and vintage fun for your wrist and don&#8217;t want to break the bank, this watch is for you. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brand: Tudor Model: Submariner Referenz: 7016(0) Year: 1970 Serial number: 742XXX Material: stainless steel Strap: leather Diameter: 40 Millimeter Condition: very good Box&amp;Papers: no Beschreibung: Early first Tudor Submariner with a badass patina.
