I recently picked up a Tudor sub from Andrew TUD031B - Submariner SS/SS Black JKF Asia 2836 [TUD031B] - $238.00 : Trusty Time Watch, Your Trusty Watch Shop This has turned out to be a nice watch. The case is 39mm and the tophat crystal harks back to the 1680 of years ago. The 79090 came out in 1989 from what I can tell, it was followed by the 79190 in 1995 which had a sapphire crystal. This watch has nice lume- it shines all thru the night. The yellow could be toned down a bit, maybe with a light brown wash of tea or coffee. Typical rep stuff- drill the lugholes and trim the crown guards. Maybe install a 703 crown with a good aftermarket tube. The bezel insert has a nice all-acrylic pearl and the bezel construction is gen like- the same as the 5513/1680. Bracelet is folded link with 380B ends and a 7836 marking and a flip lock clasp. If it was a 9315 marking it would be perfect. But there's no screws to remove links and the smallest size is 7-1/2" + which is ok for me. If you have small wrists, making the bracelet fit could be a challenge. Date font is a little thick, but the 2836-2 asian is doing fine. At $260, I'm happy with the deal. I had thought about doing a Yuki dial, but with the lume being so good, I may leave the dial and hands it came with in there. Wish I could post a pick or two but I'm having problems with imageshack these days- shit won't post on rwg.cc.
