marrickvilleboy Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Guys, Saw this watch in a local store. What are your thoughts? Guy was nice enough to let me take a few photos of it. No bracelet - comes on a nato. All markings are there, 9 million serial suggesting late 70's early 80's model. Think the dial is also the newer type looking at the way "Submariner" is written. Asking price was a little deep though, looking for A$5.2K which is around U$4K. The crystal is a bit weird though? doesn't seem like a "Tophat". All opinions appreciated.

civic4982 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Gen. Fair-ish price for condition but for $4 usd I'd expect a bracelet. Sent from the my iPhone using Tapatalk s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marrickvilleboy Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think you're right B...though it looks "rounded" not flat, if you know what i'm trying to say, i.e., more like a dome. not like the below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'd steer clear of that one. Imo Tudor 941Xs 2776/2784s should hack, wasn't this one of their distinctive features? Additionally caseback looks extremely weird plus that questionable caseback. No way I'd pay anywhere near that asking price for that one.

panerai153 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 That's too expensive. I sold a blue 9411 in excellent condition with the correct bracelet for less than 4k. This around six months ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam007 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Never Understood why people pay Rolex Prices for a Tudor If I had a spare 4k and needed a beater, I'd buy one of the most undervalued Rolex (16800 with a Matte Dial) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk And you didn't let me know about it, love blue Tudors as you know On the subject of the watch above I'd give it a wide berth too, expensive and few things not quite right with it either, the crystal could have been swapped out so easy enough to convert back but bit more going on here imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marrickvilleboy Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 thanks for views guys. Just doing a bit of my own research, seems the that variation of the caseback is genuine. Just not as common as the thicker / bolder engravings. I have also seen 17 / 25 jewel hacking / non hacking 2784s in 9411 being sold so I think both are acceptable. I'm just caught up on this crystal. Has anyone else seen rounded top hats? is that found in 1675? Lastly, agree that you shouldnt pay rolex prices for tudors but I think the Snowflake (9411) and the standard sub (7298) are slightly different. They generally command a higher price plus the snowflake is unique with its square hands. Haven't really seen the 9411 being sold for much cheaper than $3.5-4K these days.

civic4982 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Caseback is a variation yes. Also the blue 9411 or 7016 I too have rarely seen for less than $4k in decent condition. Agree with post above. Sent from the my iPhone using Tapatalk s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Three things I have learned in the last few years is that it pays to 1) not rush to buy a watch 2) if in doubt pass 3) buy the very best. Patience is key. We often tend to forget that there are really tens of thousands of every single Rolex (and Tudor) reference out there. These aren't rare watches no matter what dealers want you to believe. There are plenty of them around in excellent condition, they are just a little harder to find.

marrickvilleboy Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Still looking at it but its too expensive. I think for U$3.5K, I may consider it.... Good condition - actually torn as I believe the vintage look > NOS look (which is what this model kind of has). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 So a quick update. End up buying this thing.......... Managed to talk him down to a price I couldnt walk away from. Pics to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 ooooh.... for the right price... Congratz. Can't wait for the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I would replace the crystal with the proper crystal which is. a 125, not a 127 like the Rolex Subs. Little bit of difference in the cyclops position. Probably will want to start looking for a 9315 or 93150 bracelet as well!! Congratulations, these are nice watches.

marrickvilleboy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Here's some quick snaps. Just put it on a 93150 rep bracelet for now. And installed a SK T125 which I think looks "normal" now... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawrzhu Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 nice, Im about to purchase a 9411 however there is an aftermarket crystal on it and the rotor is swapped since it was damage, are these parts easy to find thanks. sorry to bump an old thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revere Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 nice, Im about to purchase a 9411 however there is an aftermarket crystal on it and the rotor is swapped since it was damage, are these parts easy to find thanks. sorry to bump an old threadI'm no expert on 9411s or their part availability, but I would hazard a guess that out of all the components you would need, a crystal and rotor are among the easiest to source. Could be wrong though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawrzhu Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 hmm ok , i might bite on it then. Seems to be in decent condition thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
