Thought I'd share a small twist in the tale: The cal. 390 Tudor movement which was removed from my watch and replaced with another one I sourced from Denmark was put up for sale on the bay for $350 "buy it now". Of course I described it truthfully, and declared the fact that the auto wind function was not working..... Anyway, after listing it, I wanted to check it for myself, but couldn't find it. I thought I had made a mistake, but a few seconds later I got mail from ebay: the item was bought within a few minutes from being listed! Unbelievable what the demand for these movements is.... Bottomline is, my restoration costs have now come down 30% on this puppy!  Last edited on Mon Jun 21st, 2010 04:56 am by Graham |

Wow! Great to learn about that, Graham. I think now, more than ever, your move on the restoration was totally worth it

I agree with that also. For me, when a Tudor house a movement like this, it's worth a vintage Rolex. Cases are made the same way and the movement got the same origin for sure... Without getting any money back, it was still worth it: It's a nice collector.
