Vintage Tudor Submariner 7928 "Ghost Bezel" - Vintage of the Week Episode 13 | Bob's Watches

[@modernworldiscrap]

Vietnam War Veteran here. I was just a volunteer in 1965 and bought a 7928 the following year from a PX in Saigon to celebrate the end of my first tour... The watch crawled in an abominable amount of shit the next two tours, mud rain sun beer sex drugs and blood! The movement has undergone 3 revisions since 1966... ​​The dial is now brown like the bezel. There is still a glow emanating from the watch at night if I have worn it under strong light. A bit like a past that does not want to go out...

Vintage rules I have a 73 9121 38mm blue dial and bezel I love my watch. Very beautiful Tudor submariner.

The 7928 used the exact same case, crown, bezel and case back as the 5513/5512. The only difference is the engraving on the case and case back and the use or the Fleurier cal. 390 instead of the 15xx series in the Rolex. The obvious other difference is the dial but even the hour plots are nearly identical.

I have a 66 7928….where to get a reliable service on the unsupported calibre 390?

I have two, a 71, and a 73 with the roulette dial. Both are usn issued, both have the ghost bezel. What are they worth?
