i owned about a dozen hydronauts back in the day. i liked them fine but some had the sloppiest lume jobs that i've seen on any watch brand

That's a serious Tudor!!!! Congrats. Love it and would take that over any modern Black Bay any day of the week. Enjoy!

Thank you I have retired , but I have the watches that I love. It was a journey that we all go through together but I think I have arrived. And you helped me on this journey, thank you

I own a vintage Tudor dress watch and love it! I'm a Tudor fan :)

Hopefully Tudor will revive that model

Hay I knew a few 1980$ love coordinators, I think they wore Rolex date just.

Hi I owned one of these hydronautes some years ago but mine featured a black dial and the case and bracelet where bi metal stainless steel and gold tone it was a beautiful watch and I regret selling it in a specialised watch auction. I brought this watch brand new from the goldsmiths jewellery company here in the UK. When I purchased this Tudor the brand was in poor shape and not advertising so to get a Tudor you went to your authorised Rolex Ad ordered a Tudor catalogue and chose the model you wanted to purchase and the AD would order from Rolex.. (no Internet)..... The watch cost me approx £1300 UK pounds at the time of purchase.... Waiting list??? Absolutely not if I remember the watch took around 7 days to arrive... In those days Tudor went under the radar you had to be interested in watches to even know the brand existed let alone it was a sub brand of Rolex.... You have a great watch there wear with pride because it's not every day your going to meet someone wearing an hydro.. Unlike the modern Tudor catalogue which are common.... My latest dive watch purchase?.... The Eberhard & Co scafograph 300 absolutely brilliant love it another brand that goes under the radar.... Mark from UK 👍

Mark thank you so much for this wonderful story. I love that you shared this. I like to hear about an original Hydronaut owner and how you bought it. Great story.

Congrats on a fine watch!

Thank you I agree for the price it’s hard to beat.

I think a lot of people have been very disappointed that Tudor have not gone with the prince line of watches. The watch you show here is absolutely super I would not personally want any association with Tiger Woods not for any reason that I dislike him but I do not feel the need to have the endorsement of a sportsman or a celebrity, but that is an absolutely fabulous watch.

It’s odd to have Tiger on a watch. But it makes it unique

not all hydronauts were tiger. in fact most weren't
