 From what I can tell all Tudor Oyster Prince Submariners and Oyster Prince DayJust and Day-Date Self-Winding all use 25 Jewel movements. The manual wind Rolexes and Tudors use 17 Jewel Movements.

Having once owned a Tudor Submariner myself. That the image of this hands on this watch is correct but do check for rubber gaskets and seals to ensure waterproofing.

There are Tudor Submariners with the Shield Emblem with the arrow hands,while
others have the Rolex Hands (The little Mercedes Symbol on the end of the hour hand). I have seen a few Rose Emblem Tudor Submariners with either hands.

As I looked at closely at the dial, this model must have gotten its dial redone
because all Tudor watches use the word "Self-Winding" in the middle of watch,
just above where it says 200 Meters / 660 ft. for Civilian Versions.


Further research has also indicated that 7928  has been confirmed that this watch was issued by the French Navy or M.N. (Marine Nationale) and U.S. Navy Seals.
However,when these watches retired from service they were auctioned off while
others were destroyed.
