Hi,

Wondering about the approximate date of manufacture for the Tudor Prince below. I was told on purchase that the dial had been refinished at some point and the watch was vintage c. 1950s. Movement is ETA 2451.

Additionally, if I wanted to add a bracelet to this watch, would it be more historically appropriate to purchase a Rolex bracelet or Tudor (with shield)?

Thank you!

Hi there. Are you sure this is the real deal? There is a rash of Tudor fakes out there, and though it is always difficult to be certain from a scan, I'd say this is one of them.

Some asian countries are flooded with newly made vintage style Tudors. They are equipped with ETA2452 and ETA1080 type movements with newely added Tudor engraving and a recond dial. The stainless steel casing is very nicely made also. Very bad.
