Tudor 7928: A Chocolate Beauty.
Chocolate or Caramel, by the way?
This one has been a nice companion for a few days, as I had to give it back, with regrets, to its owner.
A nice pointed guards, chapter ring, all gilt dial ( as, most often, only the chapter ring is gilt, while the writings are silver ), case number Nr 325 xxx, dating the watch from II 1960, which is confirmed by the case back.
The only thing is that the second hand should be lollipop, on this version, and it should have a Tropic 19, but these 2 details can be found, with a bit of patience and efforts.
The dial is just fascinating, slightly but deliciously " Stardust ", and, depending on the light, the brown goes from a " café " to a " cream café " color. Stunning.
Cal 390 inside, as every 7928, of course.
Here are rhe pictures:
Some pictures of the movement, which is in stunning condition:
And, to end in beauty, two close up of the dial:
The power of a brown dial, the appeal of the chapter ring, the seduction of pointed crownguards...
This is undisputably another dangerously tempting Tudor...
Enjoy,
Best.

Are you sure that second hand isnt right??
Heres one of my 7928s, I believe its a 11/61.
It sat in a drawer from 1968 till 2009 and has never been serviced. It appears to have the same second hand.
Well, to me, it should have a lollipop second hand...
Till I saw yours...
Wow!
Very very nice specimen, here.
Can't wait to read what the others say about these hands.
Thanks, Oinkitt.

Hmm, George, be careful, my friend.

Truly impressive...
That dial is to die for.
Must have felt terrible to return the pcs to the owner.
Thanks for sharing.

Can I have a bite...
of that Tudor brand chocolate... perhaps over some coffee? 
A tastefully aged beauty.
I guess handling it is just as nice an experience as owning it...
Thanks for sharing!

Let me ask to the owner before... :)
I confirm: Wearing it for a while is a superb experience. But owning this beauty would be a great joy.

Square crownguards?
Square Crownguards + all gilt dial= quite rare combination, from what I heard.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Nicolas for the info. I never think of this point till you mentioned it.
I just loved this watch especially all gilt dial.
