Incoming Tudor- I blame the enablers...!

I recently owned a Tudor day date, it had the smooth bezel. Then, Dan P. showed the nice picture of his similar watch with the rotating bezel.

Today I worked out a trade, and now I have a Tudor day date with the rotating bezel. Next steps are to get the watch polished, and possibly seek out a better condition dial.

This tudor is a great value; I currently have it on a 93150 submariner bracelet...

Al,
Finding a dial in better condition will be damn near impossible and these early versions are even rarer. A little patina just adds character. Leave that beauty as is, except for a movement service, and enjoy that rare 7020/0.

7020

That is good advice, the lighter color dial sets this watch apart from the others in my collection. The bezel makes the watch seem larger, as demonstrated in this comparison photo of my 35mm Heuer.

The seller had two 7020's, one was a perfect black dial model, but I was drawn in to this lighter colored, albeit more worn dial...

And lastly,I believe this is the second or third time I have sold a Rolex to buy an interesting Tudor...!

Thanks, the dial is not the best, but it certainly has character...
