Tudor from our own stock
Buying Tudor at Reuven Watches
Black Bay, Pelagos, Ranger and the older dive watches. Bought and checked by us, with the reference number in the description and a year's guarantee on the movement.
No Tudor in stock right now
Our stock consists of what we buy ourselves, so it changes. Tell us which Tudor you are looking for and in which version and we will keep it in mind as soon as one comes in. Below is what else to watch for on this brand.
On the Black Bay the dividing line falls at 2016
The Black Bay 79220 came to market in 2012 with a bought-in movement. In 2016 the line moved to the in-house calibre MT5602 and the number became 79230. The visible difference sits on the dial: the older one carries a rose, the newer one a shield. Our description states the reference number.
Tudor belongs to the same family as Rolex and makes watches built the same way: robust, with a screw-down crown and a bracelet that can take some punishment. What makes the brand interesting to a buyer is how much watch there is for what it is.
Rose or shield
The dials of the older Black Bay carry Tudor's rose logo, with the words Self-Winding in an arc. From the 79230 onwards there is a shield. That is the quickest way to see in a photo which generation you are looking at, and so which movement is inside.
The older dive watches are a separate story
In the sixties and seventies Tudor made dive watches that are now sought after, with references such as 7016, 7021 and 7924. On those examples the value sits in how original they are: the dial, the hands, the bezel. We record what we see and do not guess at what was once fitted.
Before it goes on sale
Four things we check before a Tudor goes on sale
At a brand that is genuinely used, the information sits in the wear parts and in the generation. Whatever emerges there ends up in the description.
Which generation, and so which movement
The reference number is in the description. On the Black Bay, 79220 means a bought-in movement and 79230 Tudor's own calibre MT5602. On the dial you see it in the rose against the shield.
The bezel on a dive watch
The bezel should turn evenly with audible clicks and without play. On a Black Bay with an aluminium insert, years of wear leave small pits; on a Pelagos with ceramic, damage takes the form of chipped edges. We photograph both close up.
The bracelet and the clasp
Tudor supplies bracelets, fabric straps and rubber, and all three age differently. On a bracelet we look for stretch and play in the clasp; on fabric or rubber for fraying and hardening at the lug end. If links are missing, that is stated.
On an older dive watch: how original it is
On the references from the sixties and seventies the value sits in the original parts, and those were replaced at services back then without anything being written down. We record what we see and say honestly when we cannot establish something with certainty.
If you are unsure which generation you are seeing in a photo, just ask. We include the reference number so you can check it yourself.
Warranty and authenticity
Why here
The reference number included, so you can check the generation
At a brand where one digit decides the movement, a description without the number is a guess. We include the number and photograph the bezel and the bracelet close up, because at this brand that is where the wear sits. Every watch here we bought and checked.

- Close-ups of the bezel and the lug end

Sell your Tudor
By model
Which Tudor are you looking for?
What is listed is what we have bought, and that changes month by month. Below, each line sets out what to watch for on a used example.
Buy a Tudor Black Bay
The Black Bay is the diver with the broad crown and the domed dial. If you want to buy a pre-owned Black Bay, the generation is the first question: the 79220 from 2012 has a bought-in movement and a rose on the dial, the 79230 from 2016 the in-house calibre MT5602 and a shield.
Buy a Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight
The Fifty-Eight is the smaller, slimmer Black Bay, and so the version that sits best on a narrower wrist. On a pre-owned example we look at the bezel and at the strap, because these watches are worn daily and it shows.
Buy a Tudor Pelagos
The Pelagos is the heaviest diver in the range, in titanium with a ceramic bezel. On ceramic, damage takes the form of small chipped edges rather than scratches, and that cannot be reworked. So we photograph that edge close up.
Buy a Tudor Ranger
The Ranger is the simple, highly legible field watch, without a rotating bezel and with a calm dial. On a pre-owned Ranger we look above all at the strap, because on this model it decides how the watch sits and comes in leather, fabric and metal.
Buy an older Tudor dive watch
The references from the sixties and seventies, such as 7016, 7021 and 7924, are sought after and the value sits in how original they are. Parts were replaced at services back then without anything being written down, so we record what we see and do not guess.
Buy a Tudor with papers
Box, warranty card and service receipts are stated separately in every description. On an older example it is the exception for a card still to be included, and then we write that too rather than leave it out.
Buy a Tudor in Utrecht
We are at Amsterdamsestraatweg 251 in Utrecht. On Wednesday and Thursday you can walk in freely between 12:00 and 17:00; other days by appointment, weekends included. On a dive watch trying it on really helps: the weight works out differently on a wrist than in a photo.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about buying a Tudor
How do I tell which generation of Black Bay it is?
By the logo on the dial. On the older ones there is a rose with the words Self-Winding in an arc; on the newer ones a shield.
The 79220 from 2012 has a bought-in movement, the 79230 from 2016 Tudor's own calibre MT5602. Our description states the reference number.
Does the bezel still turn properly?
We check it: even, with audible clicks and without play. It is in the description and you can feel it for yourself in the showroom.
On an aluminium insert years of wear leave small pits; on ceramic damage takes the form of chipped edges. We take a close-up of both.
Is the bracelet the original?
If we can establish it, it is stated, along with the state of the clasp and whether any links are missing.
Tudor supplies bracelets, fabric straps and rubber, and all three age differently. On fabric and rubber we look for fraying and hardening at the lug end.
Are the dial and the hands the originals?
On an older dive watch that is the most important question, and we say honestly when we cannot establish it with certainty.
Parts were replaced at services back then without anything being written down. We record what we see and fill nothing in with assumptions.
Do I get a guarantee on a pre-owned Tudor?
Yes, a year on the movement. There is no distinction between brands in that.
Damage from drops, water or your own interventions is not covered. Beyond that you keep your statutory rights; see warranty and authenticity.
Can I come and try the watch on first?
Please do. We are at Amsterdamsestraatweg 251 in Utrecht. Wednesday and Thursday without an appointment between 12:00 and 17:00, all other days by appointment.
On a dive watch it really helps, because the weight and the thickness work out differently on a wrist than in a photo.
And if the watch does not suit me?
If you buy in the web shop, you have fourteen days from receipt to change your mind, no reason needed.
How that works is set out on returns and cooling-off period.
Do you buy Tudor too?
Yes, every model, in any condition, with or without papers, and with no minimum value.
