TUDOR Submariner Reference 7923

This TUDOR Submariner reference 7923 is an incredibly special vintage sports watch. The TUDOR reference 7923 is particularly interesting in that it was the only manual-wind Submariner from Rolex or TUDOR. These are among the rarest TUDOR watches - this being one of the first dozen known.

It measures approximately 37.5mm in diameter (47.5mm lug-to-lug). The hands have been replaced in the past with Rolex Submariner hands from the era. The lume on the hands have likely been relumed. The case appears to have been lightly polished. The serial is a 217,XXX dating to circa 1958. 

The TUDOR Submariner reference 7923 was a record breaking reference for the time as the most expensive TUDOR sold at auction in 2017 for $99,000. One example purportedy sold for $350,000 and another sold at auction for around $125,000 last year.

The watch comes from the family of the original owner who was in the military and is fresh to market. The watch does not come with box and papers. It passed a pressure test for 5 bar. We do not know the service history.

PRICE: $49,000 (Item SBUXTY5499)
