More and more collectors are becoming acquainted with watches from Rolex's Tudor brand, creations which have become increasingly more collectible. Watches in the Tudor line, apart from the fact that they utilize ebauche movements, are similar to those of Rolex in design and construction.

When Rolex launched the Tudor brand in 1945, they strongly intended that the public perception of its quality had to equal that of Rolex. To achieve this lofty aim, until the mid-1990's, Tudor watches featured Rolex cases and crowns, and, until 1971, Rolex bracelets.

An advertisement in Britain's Horological Journal in vintage times stated that Tudor's were, "Manufactured under strict Rolex supervision and bear the Rolex label of guarantee."

Today's offering showcases this Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned Tudor Oysterdate in gorgeous restored condition.

Patterned after the Rolex Oysterdate, one of the company's staple models, it possesses the same features and conception including its manually wound movement - it is thinner and a bit more affordable than its Rolex sibling.

Our Tudor Oysterdate has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration.

Its Rolex Oyster case presents in mint condition. Its dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled the watch. It is running strong and true, keeping very accurate time.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle and meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
