The case seems to be correct. The hands are not. The bezel is correct, too. Now the dial, I cannot tell you. There is almost no literature on the 7923. [nt]

Is this a Unique Version of the Tudor Oyster Sub-Mariner 7923?
Given some of the very interesting and informative previous threads that I have found on this Board regarding the Tudor Submariner 7923, I thought people might be interested to see what I think might be a unique version of the Tudor Oyster SubMariner 7923...
Thank you for this. With regards the dial and the hands...
The hands definitely aren't typical of the 7923 - but this is exactly what is making me think it is a unique version of the watch, possibly a prototype? Because the serial number is previous to the $100,000 ebay watch, then this watch must have been made ...

The substance of my comment however remains, as I cannot like the timing of a thread that advertises and discusses in detail a watch up for sale only 3 weeks later --- whether you own the watch or the auction house selling it. For optical reasons, I would...
Thank you for this...
Firstly, let me assure you that this watch is genuine. It was left to my dad in 1983 by my grandad and had previously been left to him by his brother. I never thought for a moment that anyone on here would think this watch was fake and am mortified that t...
I have found another 7923 with the same hands, dial and movement.
It sold at auction in 2015: www.the-saleroom.com
Sorry, the dials are not the same.
I did see the triangle eating into the rose because it was mentioned in this article: But I thought the text on the dials were the same. However, I've just realised that the text is not presented in the same order. My dad's is shock-resisting - depth - s...
