You mean the Big Crown or any Sub?

 

How come they never got decommission?


Strange. What's the story?

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

Nice historic piece and documented. Goes to prove that staying focused on your goals you can achieve them. Bravo Wear it in good health.

I can understand your love for these MNs...

Here is my Trio, well, should say was, as the 7016 has disappeared... 7924 / 7016 / 5513... All MNs: It doesn't matter the dial is snowflake, or diamond... The blue dials just rock! Congrats on your new catch, this is a superb and great one. Best, Nicolas...  

Really lovely, Ross. More so satisfying having done your own

Great find with with the good dial for that year. I also love them so much. On the wrist, it"s not a watch but a killer!! Wear it in good health. Mine is from 1976. Guillaume...  

That is a superb specimen, Guillaume.

... Ross, Amanico and Guillaume, those are wonderful pieces, which fire the flame of desire in me! Have been looking for a nice Tudor Sub for sometime. I´m sure it won´t be a historical piece like those beauties you are showing here. But I´ll love it anyw... 

Well, these are ( at the exception of the big crown ) not too hard to find

 
By: amanico : January 27th, 2012-05:41
And not too expensive to get... Always try to find a complete one ( I mean with the decom papers ). Best, Nicolas

Tudor MN's in general

 
By: DrStrong : January 28th, 2012-13:16
most of these watches were destroyed, kept by the divers, etc....but very few of them were decomissioned and sold with official decom papers.

You have now a new year goal. :)

 
By: TdotBean : January 27th, 2012-07:55
You just have to pick which reference you like best. Without marking 7922, 7924 With marking and decom paper 7928, 7016, 7016/0, 94010 Have you read the great article about Tudor M.N. by our Dr. Strong? Here the link rolex.watchprosite.com A MN with decom... 

Thank you Tyler!!... I know now were to aim my sights!
