nnomad Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hi guys, I found this vintage tudor on ebay, ( beautifull watch by the way) and while looking at the pictures i realized one CG is a lot fatter than the other.. Is that how it should be?..looks somehow strange. (Sorry about the Noobness regarding my question) Cheers guys A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I'm sure I've read before that sometimes CGs weren't always perfectly symmetrical from the factory, but I may be mistaken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 And you're dealing with a 46 year old watch. It could have been polished in the past. The flat bottom part between the two crown guards looks correct to me. I'd look for other things if you're concerned about the watch.

Nanuq Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 The CGs on my 1665 are not the same size, and it's 40 years old too. Not to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I can't say as I am no expert, but that is one beautiful looking Tudor!! That crown is huge! I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 It looks like the top CG is shorter too. I wonder if that's a battle wound cleaned up? Fisheye lens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 it does look asymmetrical, shapes seems ok, and the rest also seems good... not like this tudor i found that i believe is a yuki build being sold http://cgi.ebay.ca/Tudor-submariner-9411-blue-/130438252368?pt=FR_YO_BijouxMontres_Montres&hash=item1e5eb9c750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I've had a couple of old genuines that came back from RSC with one CG a bit smaller. in both cases, I had pretty big dings in one of the CG's and they tried to polish out the deep scratches and resulted in a little thinner side. Knowing what I know today, that was probably 20+ years ago, I would absolutely forbid them to touch the case with any type of polisher. Unfortunately, back years ago, most folks were very impressed with the fact that when they got their beat up old Sub or SD back from RSC's they looked like a "Brand new watch". Little did we know that the new dial, insert, crown, maga polish, etc. was probably greatly decreasing the value of the watch down the line. At that point in time they were just tool watches, and most Rolex owners weren't collectors, just users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Very common as every has said, here's one that I have in the shop, check them out...I think it all depends on how many beer Hans had when he was setting up the cutting machine...
