Tudor Sub MN.....I finally found one!!!!
I recently managed to acquire a watch which, for me, has been a truly exciting addition to my small collection. For a couple of years I have been looking for a Marine Nationale issued Tudor Submariner; I finally found it!! A Tudor Submariner reference 940...
Great catch
