Brand: Tudor

Reference Number: 7934
Serial Number: 352440
Movement: Manual winding, 17 jewels
Dial: Cream or light silver with applied gold-tone Small Rose logo and dart indices

Dial and Hands
The cream or light silver dial displays an attractive even patina, characterized by fine spotting throughout the surface. It features the highly desirable applied gold-tone Small Rose logo alongside matching dart indices, which show minor oxidation consistent with the age of the timepiece. The printed text, including the Oyster and Shock-Resisting signatures, remains intact and fully legible. The gold-tone dauphine hands have aged appropriately alongside the dial, exhibiting visible surface oxidation and minor spotting that remain consistent with the overall aging of the face.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case displays honest vintage wear, presenting moderate scratches and scuffs consistent with its age. The lugs show signs of previous polishing while retaining acceptable thickness, and the reference and serial number engravings between them remain clearly readable. The smooth stainless steel bezel shows light scratches and minor dings consistent with the rest of the case. The exterior of the caseback features a Rolex signature and typical wear, while the interior bears a clear 1961 date stamp. The watch is fitted with a signed crown displaying the Rolex coronet with an underline signature; its knurling shows moderate wear. A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial and remains clear, with no major scratches, cracks, or crazing visible to the eye.
Movement
Inside is a manual winding movement featuring 17 jewels and Tudor engravings. The plates and bridges show minor surface marks and light oxidation, and the screw heads display minor tool marks. The timegrapher records a rate of -30-32s/day. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring contrast stitching. This casual vintage pairing shows light wear and complements the classic aesthetic of the timepiece.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The stainless steel case and smooth bezel show moderate scratches, scuffs, and minor dings, with the lugs displaying signs of prior polishing. The dial and hands present an attractive, even patina with minor oxidation and fine spotting. The domed acrylic crystal is clear and free of major flaws. Supported by the timegrapher results, the movement is running strong and steady.
Dimensions
The case measures 34 mm in diameter, excluding the crown.
Remarks
This Tudor Oyster offers collectors a highly desirable applied Small Rose dial with a beautiful even patina. The clear 1961 caseback date stamp and the presence of Rolex signed components make this a compelling and honest example from an appreciated era of the brand.
History
The Tudor reference 7934 was produced between 1958 and 1967. Housed in a 34 mm Oyster case, the model was offered in a wide variety of dial configurations. These variations included both Oyster and Royal signatures, as well as different iterations of the rose and shield logos. Tudor Oysters featuring the applied Small Rose logo are highly appreciated by collectors and represent a beloved era of the brand's history.
