More and more collectors are becoming acquainted with watches from Rolex's Tudor brand, creations which have become increasingly more collectible. Watches in the Tudor line, apart from the fact that they utilize ebauche movements, are similar to those of Rolex in design and construction.

When Rolex launched the Tudor brand in 1945, they strongly intended that the public perception of its quality had to equal that of Rolex. To achieve this lofty aim, until the mid-1990's, Tudor watches featured Rolex cases and crowns, and, until 1971, Rolex bracelets.

An advertisement in Britain's Horological Journal in vintage times stated that Tudor's were, "Manufactured under strict Rolex supervision and bear the Rolex label of guarantee."

Today's offering showcases this Certified Pre-Owned Tudor Prince Oysterdate ref. 75203N in beautiful original condition.

Patterned after the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date, one of the company's staple and respected models, it possessed the same features and conception - it was thinner and a bit more affordable than its Rolex sibling and shared the same diameter.

Our Prince Oysterdate has all of its original parts. It presents in beautiful condition.

Its original Rolex Oyster case presents in gorgeous condition on the wrist - nearly like new. The back has remants of wear from the bracelet contacting it. Its 18K gold fluted bezel has never been polished. Its fluting is perfectly crisp - our photos couldn't do it justice.

Its untouched, original so-called "Buckley" white Roman dial is perfect mint.

A Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled the watch. It continues to run strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Rolex in our testing recording position..

For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
