Looking for a Tudor Sub

[whitestripes]

So I just got the famous noobmariner, and what can I say, I love it. This may be the strangest thing said on a REP forum, but I don't really want all the expectations that go into wearing a Rolex, as I'm a bit young (early 20s). However, the 40mm case is simply perfect and I love the design. What would be perfect is if I could just change the "Rolex" on the dial to "Tudor." Inaccurate, but if someone sees the dial the first thing out of their mouth will be "is it a fake?"

Do these exist? Not looking for a snowflake tudor or similar, just want a semi-believable sub. Don't really want to get a Debaufre, at $442 they are too expensive.

If you just want a very nice watch and don't care about the name on the dial check out this link on ebay:

This is Homer's ebay store. He is one of the trusted dealers on this forum. I have three of these watches, two subs and the GMT.

The Tudor Hydronaut replica might be what you are looking for?

Or, you can check out the Longines Hydro conquest chronograph. That is a relatively cheap watch as gen, and might be a good choice for a young guy. It is on my list...

I had a Tudor 40mm Sub (Blue). I sold it for $2200 on eBay about 3 years ago. The nice thing was...NOBODY replicates a Tudor. So everyone is facinated by it and knows it is real. I had a gen Rolex sub bracelet on it...not the flimsy folded link Tudor. I upgraded to a gen GMT II.... Then added a Serti TT Sub (gen)... I thought $2200 was geat... since I paid $750 for it and wore it 10 years. Now I have seen lesser ones go for $3000.

Tudor reps are rare, but they do exist.

Thanks for the info. I was actually considering the Hydronaut rep.. Have anyone bought the Longines Hydroconquest yet?

(Sorry for thread-crapping)

The idea of this Tudor has me thinking......

I was just looking at that, no way is it gen in that condition and price, but if they are being made like that why dont we have a good rep of it, the same seller BTW is selling a cxomex dial and hands for $102 at the moment

Here is another alternative for you, a Sandoz Submariner. Such as this one, Ebay item no. 140260515135

HMS Tudor sub...

Launched 23 September, 1942

Sorry. Really.

Re the Sandoz sub, there is at least two versions sporting the same name. The one depicted above is a Hong Kong and the preferred one is the Singapore version for reasons I cannot remember......the Singapore has a raised logo on the dial.
