Sell Your Vintage Tudor Submariner in London

About the Tudor Submariner

Tudor's dive-watch line began in the 1950s with references such as the 7922 and the 'Big Crown' 7924, followed by the 7928 and the 'snowflake' 7016 and 9411. All used Rolex Oyster cases with Tudor's own movements.

Notable vintage Submariner references

Vintage references we regularly assess include:

• Reference 7922 — earliest Tudor Submariner
• Reference 7924 — 'Big Crown'
• Reference 7928 — crown-guard era
• Reference 7016 / 9411 — 'snowflake' hands
• Original gilt and matte dials, bezels and hands

Originality on a vintage Tudor Submariner

On a vintage Tudor Submariner, an original dial, correct hands, a period bezel insert and an unpolished Rolex-signed case matter as much as the reference. Service dials and replacement parts affect value, and we explain what we find.

What affects the value of a Tudor Submariner

Among the factors we weigh when valuing a vintage Tudor Submariner:

• Reference and production period
• Dial type and originality
• Bezel insert and hand originality
• Rolex-signed case sharpness and 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 vintage 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.
