Hello Anatol! So nice to know you like this old Tudor...
... These old Ci Tudors are so interesting to me, being connected to the Armed Forces of my Country, and so little is known about them!
You mention a 6536-1 Ci. That would be a very important watch indeed! Have you kept any pictures of it to share here, both front and back inscriptions?
Thank you again Anatol.
Very cordially, Abel.
This week end: enjoying my new imperfect vintage...
As collectors of vintage watches, we are always seeking for the most "perfect" example of our object of desire: an unpolished case, original dial and set of hands, matching patina and an original and good working movement are some of the features which ma...
Congratulations!
Dear Abel, You finally got it, and It makes me really happy to be a part of the "great hunting". Now I see it again it looks really stunning! The red date it is far less common for that reference and year, and the faded insert is almost nicest than an ori...
Hi Francis! Hola mi amigo! Thank you so much...
... for your kind comments. Once again, thank you for your info regarding this watch. No doubt I got it thanks to your clues. It´s a pleasure to share it with you, and I´m so glad you like its looks now. I agree that the clear gray bezel insert looks so c...
This is watch with soul
Who needs perfection when you have authenticity. Great watch. I just added one to the collection but not such beautiful wabi. Congratulations. Bill
Thank you Bill! Thats a great compliment coming from you!...
... I m so glad you like it! And nice to know you got one Ci yourself! Would love to see a picture of yours! Thank you again my friend! Best cordial regards, Abel
A beauty
I agree with Bill. That is a watch with soul. And great patina too! Enjoy it. V/R Mike
Unfortunately not a CI just a simple Tudor with some wabi...
A special watch like yours is one in a million. I was just saying that perfection is with vintage are cousins not brothers. Bill
Ahh Ok Bill, I understand ... but...
I feel everybody here would be delighted to see your nice Tudor here anyway! If you got some photograph available I would love to view a picture of the "cousin"!! Thank you! Best cordial regards, Abel.
Heeey Abel! That is a great catch!
Now that is a surprise, my friend. Well done. The Ci aare like the M.N, a Watch to get in any serious collection of vintage Rolexes. Yours is in good condition. I've seen much worse, and most often! I am still working on the topic, I included some ARAs, t...
Oh Yeah my Friend! It was really a nice surprise to find it...
... and it was thanks to a clue given to me by our friend Francisc who discovered it in a place here in Buenos Aires and generously gave me the information during the last days of 2013. Then followed a couple of weeks of negociation during beginning of th...
Nothing to be envious for my dear friend! Remember the old Spanish...
Saying: el que rie ultimo rie mejor! (The one who laughs last, laughs better!) I m sure you ll get a lovely Ci Tudor soon (may be a BC no guards Ci?) Un abrazo afectuoso, Abel.
Finding an ARA would be like "touching the Sky" to me!! ...
... but.. we are guys with very simple tastes my friend!! No doubt you´ll get yours soon Nicolas... If you remember well, we were talking about this same matter during the first days of last December, and I got the news of this watch from our friend Franc...
It is true that life reserves us some good surprises, from time to time.
But an ARA... Well, it is easier to play and win the lottery! Un abrazo, Nicolas
Thank you Matt! Yes you are right: imperfection can be accepted sometimes!...
I´m happy to know you like it! Best cordial regards, Abel.
Great addition Abel! Stunning matching Patina...
And looks so good on that strap. I can see exactly why it will get a lot of wrist time. All the best Tony
Hello Tony! Thank you for your kind comments...
... Yes, patina is beautiful, and the leather straps colors look lighter in the flesh, and matches better the color of the indexes. I like very much the overall looks of this old timepiece indeed! So glad you like it! Very cordially, Abel.
Very nice Tudor!
What a beautiful and historically interesting Tudor Sub you got there! Lovely patina! Reminds me of my 6536-1 Ci, long gone!

the faded insert, the golden patination on the dial and
A wonderful military twist! What more is needed for a great vintage watch? Fabulous.
Hello dear Joe! Thank you for your kind comments...
... I completely agree that all the "ingredients" you mention make for the charm of an old vintage watch, and also compensate for the imperfections it offers this particular piece. I´m delighted with this old watch and to know you like it! Best cordial re...
