Sell Your Tudor Submariner in London

About the Tudor Submariner

From the 1950s to the 1990s the Tudor Submariner used Rolex Oyster cases with Tudor movements, serving navies including the French Marine Nationale. The 1970s 'snowflake'-hand references, in blue and black, are the most collected.

Submariner references and generations

Key references and variants we regularly assess:

• Reference 7016 / 9401 — 'snowflake'-hand era
• Reference 79090 — last pre-Hydronaut Submariner
• Blue and black dial and bezel variants
• Rolex-signed Oyster cases and crowns
• Date and no-date configurations

What affects the value of a Tudor Submariner

Among the factors we weigh when valuing a Tudor Submariner:

• Reference and 'snowflake' vs. later hands
• Dial and bezel originality
• Rolex-signed case and crown
• Case sharpness and prior polishing
• Movement condition and service history
• Provenance, box and papers where present

Selling a Tudor Submariner without box or papers

Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a Tudor Submariner without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.

Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.

How Fair Vintage assesses your Tudor Submariner

We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.

Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
