Even though I am not a real Tudor fans, this 1967 Tudor submariner from Hawaii caught my attention with its used but authentic feel as well as its bigger 39mm size. The dial and crown of the Submariner 7928 would undergo several modifications throughout its production run from 1960 – 1968. It started off with square crown guards, moving onto pointed crown guards and finally arriving at the rounded crown guards, which were to become the standard. The square guard models of the Submariner 7928 are supremely rare and thereby, highly sought after by collectors. Early versions of the 7928 dial included a chapter ring and gilt writing and later on, there were different combinations of writing styles and markings on its dial throughout its development.
I think this is the third generations Tudor 7928 after the Square guards and pointed guards. This is a two color submariner where the markers are gilt yellow while the wordings are silver white. The bezel and dial of this example subsequently underwent discoloration due to intense and prolonged exposure to UV rays. Collectors use the term “Tropical” to describe this type of change, which is greatly prized. The inscriptions on the dial of this example were silver-color. The case measured 39 mm in diameter, was waterproof to a depth of 200 meter and bore the signature “ORIGINAL OYSTER CASE BY ROLEX GENEVA”.
The design of its dial, hands and bezel was similar to that of references 7922, 7924 and 7925. Its movement was the self-winding caliber 390. I was told that the case and bezels is similar to the Rolex 5513. Even the back case of the 5513 could fit into the Tudor. The bezel is a mark 3 insert. Found the watch March 2017.

Tudor 7928/0
My new Tudor 7928/0 has arrived and my seller has cleaned the watch. There are still some dirt at the bezel areas as signs of time but its ok as it fits with the aging dial and the dial that has turned tropical chocolate. Lately, it has become my favourite everyday watch that has taken much of my wrist time.
