A night with Tudor for an official Vintage GTG.
Tudor invited me, among other collectors of vintage Tudor, for a special event, a get together, organized at the Tudor Manufacture on the 15th of April.
2/ Some Tudor Ranger from 1967,
4/ Tudor Submariner 7924 from 1958. This one is awesome!
5/ Tudor Submariner 7928 Tropical .
6/ Tudor Submariner 7928 quite hard to find with these super pointy crown guards:
7/ Tudor Submariner 94110.
8/ Tudor Royal. Really class!
I know some of the collectors personally, others I met for the first time, with great pleasure.
The ambience was super friendly and the Tudor Team was tops. I had long discussions with the 2 designers, Ludovic and Ander, Nicolas and Cole who organized this event.
I didn't want to take some photos of the attenders as I am not comfortable with that, but believe me, the party was a great moment.
As for vintage watches, it was very hard to take decent pictures, due to light conditions, but here they are:
1/ OYSTER Prince, which was one of the members' wrist during an Antarctic Expedition in... 1952.
2/ Some Tudor Ranger from 1967,
And a later one on the right. No need to say that the 1967 Tudor Ranger is one of my vintage Tudor goals...
3/ Tudor Chronograph Ref 7031 with an awesome and uber rare black dial... Another dream of mine:

6/ Tudor Submariner 7928 quite hard to find with these super pointy crown guards:
7/ Tudor Submariner 94110.
8/ Tudor Royal. Really class!
There were many others, and among them 7922, 7923, which are pure collectors' dreams, but as I said, light conditions were too tough...
Here is a 7923 I could take in picture some years ago, from one of my friends' collection who attended the event.
And many many Marine Nationale Submariners 94010 and 7016. Really impressive.
I would not like to end this post without saying thank you to all the Tudor Team for this moment which will be engraved in my memory forever. This is the very first time I see so many great vintage Tudors gathered in one place at the same moment.
Best,
Nicolas
Thanks for this wonderful eye candy
I love the patina on the pushers of that Tudor Chronograph!
Very impressive,
and undoubtedly even more so for someone who knows these references and exactly what he’s looking at, which is unfortunately not my case.
Knowing, moreover, that this is only a small glimpse of all the pieces present, it's easy to imagine the scale of this GTG.
Thank you for sharing a little of this exceptional moment with us!
Best, Emmanuel

What a Great and Wonderful Experience, the Oyster Prince Antartica a piece of history and the Ref 7031 is a Dream 😍, the Patina has a peach/pinkish hue? Epic!
May I join the party please?
My ref: 7934 recently put on a generic spare bracelet and has been wrist-borne for a couple of weeks. It was renovated by a Rolex servicing repairer six years ago by the vendor at a cost far greater than I had paid him for the watch! Not worn much by me but is keeping excellent time within 0/+4 secs/day. It looks as if most of the radium was removed but it still radiates 2.8µSv per hour, so I limit my exposure.
I love the slim Oyster 34mm case, the applied gilt Arabic indexes and the gilt and blue hands. It is a reliable, comfortable wear.

Superb ! The 7924 and the 7923 are great , the 7931 is « the King of the Feast »…Thank you for sharing with us ! 🙏
Well, if I had to choose between the 7031 and a 7924 or 7923, I would stick to the Submariners, but the 7031 is another dream, for sure.
Bravo Tudor for organizing this
And bravo to collecting community who appreciate the heritage. Thank you Nico for sharing your pation. Best, Ashot
