What sets this watch apart from other is the recent service (with 12 month warranty), automatic caliber 2461 (rare number) and solid gold case condition. The original dial part has been repainted black so it looks mint!
Word of wisdom to people trying to acquire a similar piece. Do not buy it if the seller cannon show you the movement photo. Always look for picture of the movement (as shown here this is 100% authentic Tudor Cal 2461 movement, 25 jewels. A service card of who serviced where and when will be enclosed (as pictured).
Why does Tudor have Rolex parts? The story of Tudor is an interesting one. Founded in 1926 by marketing genius Hans Wildof who was also the founder of big brother company Rolex some 40 years earlier. Hans would use 90% the same parts as a Rolex and substitute a fewer of the expensive materials/ parts for cheaper ones that hardly affected the quality and reliability of his models. Upon creating the Tudor Company Hans was quoted:
"For some years now I have been considering the idea of making a watch that our agents could sell at a more modest price than our Rolex watches, and yet one that could attain the standards of dependability for which Rolex is famous, I decided to form a seperate company, wiht the object of making and marketing this new watch. It is called the Tudor Watch Company."
The Tudor is an affordable way into vintage watch collecting and is in overall great condition. The movement is working perfectly, as you would expect from Tudor. The seconds hand sweeps around very nice.
