It doesn't get much better than this....
Here we have the last of the Tudor Submariners ever produced in great condition.
I bought this watch from an acquaintance about a year ago in plans of keeping it as an investment but as things keep changing in life, so do my priorities.
This is the reference 79190 with Canadian Guarantee papers. Only difference between this and the 79090 is that this has a sapphire crystal. This, being one of the last produced, says only Prince Date under Tudor rather than Prince Oysterdate.
The watch is super clean and has never been polished. Hands, dial and bezel insert are mint with a light creamy patina coming on the tritium lume. It was originally purchased as a recreational dive watch and was used as such for about a year. After hitting the bezel against some reef, the original owner put it back in its box and there it sat until I came along talking about watches.
As for notable condition issues; Folded link bracelet has a deformation in 1 link from where the bracelet has been adjusted. These folded bracelets are problematic in this regard. The clasp also has small marks from pliers used to keep the bracelet tight in the clasp. There is one small scratch in the crystal near the 25 minute marker and a small gouge in the bezel from where the watch hit the reef. Otherwise, everything is sound and near mint on this watch.
I had this mechanically serviced in January by an indipendant watchmaker and it's running very well between +4 and +6 seconds a day with great amplitude. I'm sure this will slow down in the next while as it hasn't been worn more than a week since service.
Full kit comes with the original purchase receipt warranty papers, anchor, instructions, extra links, boxes, even the caseback stickers.
Priced at $8000 which includes shipping. A good investment as these are only going to keep going up in value with the production numbers being as low as they were.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Barry
