phillycheez Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 So I just purchased a silver date wheel for a tudor and I think it's a rep.... Would like certainty among the experts before I message the seller about it and get a refund.It doesn't have the brushed look to it which is throwing me off. While I have only heard (never seen) that Rolex made non-brushed silver datewheels on a 1675, I have never heard nor seen a Tudor with it either.The font is bold and actually is fairly spot on which is throwing me off. He said it came off of his 7021 which had the ETA 2484. He DID say he "had it installed as a NOS part" which makes sense as 7021's come with roulette wheels. Here's a pic of a gen (the only pic I can actually find of an entire Tudor date wheel), but it's on a ETA 2873. Could be a different DW that came on the ETA 2484?Here's what I got...Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycheez Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 so it is possible Rolex made a non-brushed version... Here's proof they at least made one for the 1570 movement. Damn.. now I am really not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycheez Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well... After analyzing what felt like a hundred something Tudor Submariner dates all night. I believe this to be gen now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillycheez Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 The seller just told me he bought it from being bob ridley.. Haha. Well, I guess I don't have to worry about it being a rep. Never mind my paranoid thread... Move along. But I am stoked to find a genuine silver date wheel going on a genuine Tudor movement! Pretty much a guarantee that I don't have to deal with alignment issues. Sweeeeeet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavidoc Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 never knew that the 7021 could be had with a silver datewheel. I've only seen the 2783, 2784 and the 2824. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't come with the 7021. He had it installed as a NOS part. He was selling it because he found the correct roulette datewheel for his watch.

He was selling it because he found the correct roulette datewheel for his watch. Gotcha. What I can tell you is that ETA did make a silver date disc though it is non-brushed. I purchased a bunch of date disc's for various ETA calibres a few months ago as they had listed in the offering a 2784 date disc. When I got it, I was quite surprised to see that it was silver and not white. Not brushed like I"ve seen but very similar to the painted silver as found in my 16800 Sub. Fonts are very similar though slightly different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycheez Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Interesting, could you take a pic? Does it look like mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
