Tudor Submariner 79190 Serial: B953513 Year: 1997 Case Size: 39mm Lug to Lug: 46.8mm Lug Width: 20mm Thickness: 10.2mm Crystal: Sapphire Bezel: Unidirectional Ratcheting Lume: Tritium Movement: 2824-2 Up for sale is my 1997 Tudor Submariner reference 79190 that I just received back from a full service and spa treatment from the renowned Zimmer Watch Repair in York, PA. Zimmerman is an authorized Rolex service center and they completely serviced the movement as well as refurbished the case and bracelet bringing it back to factory specifications. If you go to their page you can see their unique laser welding technique and the results are amazing. The end result is the closest thing you can get to a factory fresh Tudor Submariner without finding one new in box (and that would likely not have had a service since it left the factory). This watch has the original tritium dial and hands that have just started to age to a nice cream patina. The original bezel pearl was cracked as you so often see with the older acrylic type but was replaced with a new old stock genuine tritium filled pearl that matches perfectly with the rest of the lume. The original pearl will be included as well. The bracelet is original to the watch and is the later solid link 78500 that only came on the very last Tudor Sub’s. This bracelet is essentially a rebranded Rolex 93150 bracelet and comes with one removable link. The crystal was replaced with a brand new authentic Tudor crystal, as well as the crown and crown tube which are considered wear items by Tudor/Rolex and usually replaced during service to insure water resistance. All gaskets were replaced as well and it passed its required pressure tests as shown in the paperwork in the photos. The bezel was also treated with the Tudor factory replacement spring and the original bezel and insert turn and click smoothly. As you can see the case and bracelet look amazing with crisp bevels and brushing. The bracelet is tight with little sag and fits my 6 3/4 - 7 inch wrist comfortably with plenty of room for adjust on the clasp. The original divers extension is present as well. The movement can be seen in the photos (FYI the movement and casebook photos were taken PRE-service) and runs perfectly in spec as to be expected after service. This reference in particular wears incredibly well from the thinness that is achieved using the ETA movement and sapphire crystal not found in ANY other submariner from Tudor or Rolex.  I originally purchased this watch in 2021 from a user on another forum who had acquired it from the original owner. I wore it daily for a while but decided to pass it along here on r/WatchExchange and eventually sold it to a gentlemen in Portland. He wore it for a few months but reached out to me to buy it back from him as some unforeseen expenses had come up. I had regretted the sale and happily obliged, then continuing to wear the watch daily running very well within spec despite unknown service history. After seeing several examples of Zimmerman’s work I figured this would be a good example to have freshened up and sent the watch to them in May, receiving it back on 09/04/2024. As impressed as I am with this watch I have decided to move it along again to free up some cash. I would like $6,800 net to me via wire/zelle or of course cash and I will pay for insured shipping in the US. The service alone just cost me $1,630 and can be seen on the invoice. This also includes a full two year warranty on the watch covered by Zimmerman which I have just confirmed with them and will follow the watch to the new owner. I am located in Austin, TX and also open to a local sale. The ONLY trade I am interested in at the moment would be for a like new Black Bay 54 plus cash on your end. Please reach out to me with any questions, I am happy to get on the phone or FaceTime to ensure we are both comfortable with the sale. Below I have attached links for the complete photo album as well as Zimmerman’s page to view their work. Thanks!
