offshore Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have just received a Tudor, from the 1960's- marked "Tudor Prince Oysterdate- Rotor self winding" on the dial. Its running a 2462 movement. It has a stripped crown tube and I am looking to replace it, however I need an ID first. It looks to measure 3.7mm outside. the only further ID on the watch is a number between the lugs which is almost indiscernable but its 57???7. I ma guessing this may be a serial. There is another number between the other lugs but it is unreadable. The case back is marked."Original Oyster case by Rolex Geneva" Hoping someone here has there head around this one and may be able to ID the part or even better point me at one. The crown has the typical Rolex symbol with a dash under. Think its OK in the thread. Thanks, Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 That looks like a 5.3mm twinlock... available anywhere. Are you sure that's a 2462 movement, and not a 2461? I've been searching out a 2461 for over a year. I'd be willing to trade a very nice and remarkably strong 2784 for it......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Nanug, I'd be happy to trade....however I think the owner of the watch, who has had it from new, may get a little pissed! A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 If it's a 34mm case I think it should be a 5.3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
