The Rolex/Tudor relationship dates back to 1926 when Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex SA, wanted to create a more affordable wristwatch alternative that still maintained a high quality of craftsmanship. Tudor manufactured wristwatches adjacent to Rolex for many years, which featured more affordable non-inhouse Swiss movements, whilst still utilizing Rolex's case designs and manufacturing processes. Even though Tudor shares a lot of similarities with its older brother Rolex, Tudor's designs tended to differentiate from the Rolex formula to make for some uniquely cool timepieces in their own right. 

CASE & BRACELET

The strong case retains thick and symmetcial lugs that show signs of gentle polishing in the past and minimal signs of honest use. The 14K white gold fluted bezel is in excellent condition and retains crisp finishing throughout. The case back retains all of the original factory markings in fully visible and crisp condition. The Rolex 7835 folded-link Oyster bracelet with 357 end pieces retains 13 links that show almost no stretch and will fit up to a 7 1/2-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The original satin grey dial is in excellent condition, showing only nominal elements of age and no notable damage. The tritium lume plots have taken on a deep golden patina and exhibit no degradation under UV light inspection. The original tritium hands match the dial nicely, under UV light inspection there is very subtle degradation present in the minute hand and it remains stable, while the hour hand is fully intact.

ACCESSORIES 

None. The watch has been recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, back by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
