-Description
TUDOR was born in 1926 as a Rolex diffusion brand.
The name Tudor is taken from the Tudor family, one of the British royal families that produced Elizabeth I, and was the site of Rolex headquarters. It is said that it became this name for the purpose of market expansion in the UK. With the exception of the movement, the same parts as Rolex are used, and there is no doubt that the quality is very high even though it is a diffusion brand.
This is the Submariner Reference 79090 released in 1989.
Tudor's Submariner history began in 1954 and has existed in several models. This 79090 is the third generation, and along with the reference 79190, is the last model to use Rolex parts.
Tudor switched from using Rolex parts to exclusive parts with the demise of the Submariner.
After switching to exclusive parts, models such as the Pelagos and Black Bay, which are still in the lineup today, were born.
At the time, there were three types of Submariners: this 39mm size 79090, the boys size 75090 of 36mm, and the 33mm 73090 called Mini Sub.
(*Rolex's contemporary Submariner is written as 40mm, but Tudor's current official website says 39mm because it is written as 39mm)
There are two types, black and blue, and the blue model is nicknamed "blue sub".
The dial is a matte blue dial. The second hand is a lollipop hand, and the hour hand is a combination of a Mercedes hand (Benz hand).
The tritium luminous paint, which is no longer in use, and the "borderless" type of index without a metal frame around it are specifications unique to vintage divers.
At the 12 o'clock position of the dial is the shield mark, which is also the current symbol of Tudor. On the other hand, the back cover and crown have the Rolex crown mark.
In the case of Rolex, the blue Submariner is a combination of stainless steel and gold (called "Rolezor" by Rolex), or only 18K gold case lineup.
The blue stainless steel case is unique to Tudor, and the design has a vintage feel, making it particularly popular.
In addition, the bezel part has faded moderately and is in a state called ghost bezel.
Comes with a winding type Oyster bracelet 9315. The number of frames is 10 frames, and it is possible to handle up to 18 cm around the arm.
equipped movement is Cal.2824-2. Based on ETA 2824-2, it has a very good reputation for its stability, robustness, and ease of maintenance.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
