Notes

Tudors retaining their original warranties and hang tags are very rare, these having usually been discarded. The reference 76100 is considered by some to be the last collectible Tudor Submariner produced and has gained a following due to a specific detail, the absence of the spokes within the Mercedes hour hand, making it appear simply as a luminescent dot.
