Vintage Tudor
My father passed away in the 60s, and I have recently acquired his Tudor, minus the 'Oyster' shaped case and the steel bracelet.I'm trying to find out the year etc. Seems like the Rose in the Shield comes from the 40s but not sure.It has the 'rose in the shield' above the Tudor Oyster Automatic, numbers 2,4,6,8,10,12 on a champagne coloured dial with the words 'Shock Resisting' between the 4 and 8 position.It is a hack second hand. I was told by a jeweller that it is gold filled and the gold plating on the crown is almost gone. The serial# is 509xx next line is 95xIt gains about 1 minute overnight on my night stand, so I'd say it's working quite well for an older watch.Here are some pictures. Any info would be great, and hope you enjoy the pics.Denis

Question about Buying from a ��Grey Dealer��
Hey Guys. Recently bought a HULK from a local AD. They were very friendly, service was great and ended up only waiting a month for it while paying MSRP.Now, I cant stop thinking about my grail watch which happens to be the Yachtmaster 2. The Local AD has the older Blue Hands in stock but would have to order the New Mercedes Hands.Question I have is there is a dealer (In NJ) Labelle Jewelery that has a brand new YM2 for $15.5 all in. I'll see if my AD can match that but don't think they'll be able to, but Whats the deal with Grey Dealers? Is there no ROLEX warranty at all?, no warranty card etc? Labelle has great reviews but when spending this much money on something I want to keep forever, is it too risky to save maybe 1k?Thanks guys!

Sky Dweller or GMT Master II BLNR
Ok. Here's the thing.I have a DateJust 2 116334 with rhodium arabic dial. I have been thinking of late to exchange this (I can get between ?4k with the dealer (hoping for more as watchfinder offered ?4.7k) and purchase the SkyDweller White Gold (White dial). I would put ?2k down on this watch also, which would mean I would owe ?4k.Now, as of this morning.. things have become a little bit more complex! Ha!I've seen the GMT Master II 116710BLNR - thats ?6550. I could put down ?2k again and owe ?4.5k and thus in turn, have two watches.What are everyones thoughts on my dilema - I really wanted the SD as of this morning! LolThanks
