The Watch
The Tudor trademark was first registered in 1926 by Swiss watchmaking company “Veuve de Philippe Hüther” on behalf of Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex watches. Wilsdorf took it over himself in 1936 and went on to found the company Montres Tudor SA in 1946. First introduced in 1969 it saw the change from the Tudor Rose to the Applied Shield at 12 o’clock which represented the characteristics of reliability and solidity. The OysterDate became as popular as the Rolex Oyster models of the time.
Here we have a 2003 Tudor Prince Date-Day with a 36mm Oyster case. Lug to lug length of 43mm and a thickness of 10mm ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a Rolex signed screw-down crown. A polished bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal above a glossy black dial.

Personal Note
A perfect Tudor Date-Day, clean, crisp, and beautiful. No surprise that it flew away before I could even bring it to the website, I suspect these are only going one way as time goes on, and that's up...
