[WTS] 1970s Tudor Oyster Prince Day-Date 70170 with Rolex Signed Parts
[WTS] 1970s Tudor Oyster Prince Day-Date 70170 with Rolex Signed Parts
For sale is historically important Tudor Oyster Prince Day-Date 70170 from the 1970s with Rolex signed parts (inc bracelet). Champagne dial. This is one for the vintage Tudor collector. First launched in 1969 following Rolex’s success with their precious metal Day-Date collection. It was an unusual move for the Rolex group to create a stainless steel and more affordable version of the Rolex Day-Date. That move resulted in the Tudor 70170. Combined with its Rolex-signed parts, the Tudor Date-Day still exhibited the robust nature of Rolex’s watches, but without the heftier price tag. Tudor designed the Date-Day with a 37.5mm case instead of the Rolex Day-Dates smaller 36mm case (at that time). The resulting difference made the Tudor Date-Day favored by those looking for a large and robust watch while still featuring the practicality of the Day-Date. This watch was serviced (overhauled) by the well regarded watch maker Rik Dietel of Time Care. ( https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/09/fashion/watches-repairs-rolex-audemars-piguet-patek-philippe.html ). Service was done in March 2023. Service receipt included in sale. Watch currently runs approximately +11 to +13 seconds per day. Bracelet fits my 6.75 inch/17cm wrist loosely. Bracelet has an additional 0.3-0.4 cm of additional adjustment to accommodate a slightly larger wrist than mine. No additional links.
