4 seen in total (!?).. That is really rare.. The dial and patina: aged in style
Dec 19, 2013,07:04 AM
.. it is only recently, that I learned about role & significance of Tudor watches,
vs their Rolex counterparts.
If you allow a few newbie's Qs:
1/ was there, at times, a (close) partnership Tudor/ Rolex ?
2/ common cases , dials ?
3/ were they offen issued to military use ?
You see, I need to go and do some homework, first..
- Meanwhile I'll just enjoy their sightings
Thx for a beautiful & interesting share !
Best, hs

Tudor 7924 A.R.A: A few pictures.
By: amanico : December 19th, 2013-00:19
I told you, a week ago, that I would soon see one hell of a Watch. My friend just go it. A Tudor 7924 A.R.A ( Armada de la Republica Argentina ). Pretty rare as I only saw 4 others, and this is the first time I can touch one in the real world. I will incl...
Awesome ...

Thanks Nicolas for sharing this rare bird ;) Best Patrice
very nice watch
By: Ryan5446 : December 19th, 2013-02:37
Very nice. Any history from the watch or its previous owners ? Considering the rocky history from the seventies and eighties (Junta, Falklands) this watch has problably seen quite some action.
Ahh! My dear Friend!! You Killed me with this one!!...

... you know how much I love timepieces with an Argentine connection!! This would be my Super Grail Watch! Top of the List!! The only Tudor ex Argentine Navy I ever had in my hands, belongs to my good friend Juan, whom I wish will see this post and will s...
I did it a bit with this purpose, Abel. :)))

I thought about you when looking at this Watch. To tell you the truth, I am seriously considering getting one of these ARA / CIs... Which may come in 2014. Of course, THIS 7924 would be a dream, but a nice 7928, 7016 or 94010 would make my day. I will tel...
Thank you my dear Nicolas!! It is so nice of you...
By: Subexplorer : December 19th, 2013-06:42
... it is so nice to know a good friend has his thought on me!! I sincerely wish you´ll get an ARA for your wonderful collection next year. It would be a very interesting additional to such a fine collection. You are right there are many reference which w...
Ohhhhhhhhh.........Dear Nicolas!!!
By: shipkeeper : December 19th, 2013-08:11
What a beautiful discovery! Nicolas. As you know I love these pieces and their history, like Abel, the past month I lost per few minutes an 7928. Unfortunately it was purchased by a reseller and he only think in the U.S. or Europe market. But "Lady Luck" ...
Nice to read you here my dear Juan! Will you please ...
By: Subexplorer : December 19th, 2013-11:46
... share again some pictures of yours in this thread, including back inscriptions? Would be nice to compare them here! Still looking for mine!! Un abrazo mi amigo!! Kind regards, Abel.
The case, crown, plexys, and most of the time hands were the same.
By: amanico : December 19th, 2013-07:13
Dials were very close, even if some had their own " personality ", as, for example, the Sub " Snowflake " 7016 or 94010 / 94110. The biggest difference? The movements, which were outsourced, which is not the case, of course, ,with Rolex watches ( with a f...
Thx very much for the info .. Again, as always, learned a lot.. Realize ..
By: hs111 : December 19th, 2013-08:01
.. more and more the whole Rolex (& relatives) topic and terroir is complex, takes much homework, but is really quite interesting, IMHO. What Vintage Rolex fields are an abyss, it's also sometimes like a detective story; ( Happy, that JLC is and remains m...

Lovely ARA Nicolas. You know I love these....
By: Ross Povey : December 19th, 2013-09:08
Here is another ARA 611xx that I saw in September... And on the same theme here is my last batch 615xx Ci that arrived last week (same serial range as Juan's and very close issue number!) Came, along with a 614xx snowflake (which a pal bought), from a goo...
That is a fantastic finding!
By: FrancisV : December 19th, 2013-14:29
Hello Nicolas!, as our mutual friend Abel pointed out, it is so nice to see such a spectacular piece and from A.R.A!!!. It looks splendid, and did not know that BC Tudors were sent to this country. I have seen some year ago an old 5512 from, a presume, ea...
As far as I know
By: FrancisV : December 19th, 2013-15:35
from a very well seller / collector from here that CI means Cuerpo de Infantería. Some years ago he posted an interesting information about its story in the VRF. I do not know if links are allowed here, if so please let me know and will send it to you. Un...
THANK YOU, Nicolas
By: Mike1066 : December 20th, 2013-05:20
As always, you are the 7924 master and you always bring us new and interesting information. What a great piece and a lucky owner. That insert is fantastic! And the dial, with the faded text, shows the great life that watch has lived. Thank you for the res...
yes, that`s rigth!
By: FrancisV : December 20th, 2013-15:44
Nicolas wrote that article. As I see, the name Nicolas suits perfect for Rolex experts! All the best!
Hola Francis!! Nice watch isn´t it?? By the way...
By: Subexplorer : December 20th, 2013-05:12
... did you buy that Tudor Ci Snowflake you mention for your own collection. If affirmative, I congratulate you and kindly ask to share some pictures in this thread! I am looking for one Ci since long ago, as you may imagine! Un abrazo mi amigo! Cordialme...
Hola Abel!
By: FrancisV : December 21st, 2013-16:58
No, I did not buy it! So it might be yours! If you like, please let me know and I will tell you where I saw it (surely you know the seller) If so I can send you a PM. Un gran abrazo!
Wonderful!
By: Anatol : December 20th, 2013-22:56
Very nice watch, Nicolas! Thank you for posting this. Definitely go for one of those South American special delivery Rolex / Tudors!
As promised:::)))))
By: shipkeeper : December 21st, 2013-10:14
My friends, Abel, Nicolas. Some fabric to cut .... "A.R.A. Navegacion", "Ci" and both together. Look closely CI and Ci is the same. All the best Juan ...
Thanks...!!
