This is a vintage TUDOR Submariner-style watch built around a case marked Ref. 7016/0 and featuring a distinctive Rose-logo black dial, date display, black bezel, automatic mechanical movement, and black leather strap with Rolex-style markings.
The watch presents very well cosmetically and is currently running and keeping acceptable time for an older vintage mechanical watch. Due to its age and unknown service history, servicing should be done soon.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
This watch should be considered a refurbished/customized vintage Tudor Submariner with mixed and/or replacement components.
It is NOT being represented as an untouched, completely factory-original, or collector-grade Ref. 7016/0.
A standard Tudor Submariner Ref. 7016/0 is generally associated with a no-date configuration and ETA Cal. 2483. This particular watch has a date display and is fitted with an automatic movement stamped Cal. 2472.
Because these characteristics differ from the commonly documented factory configuration for Ref. 7016/0, the movement and/or other components may have been replaced, modified, restored, or combined with parts from other watches during its long service history.
The complete history is unknown.
If complete factory originality is important to you, this is probably not the appropriate watch for your collection.

WATCH CONFIGURATION
Case – Case/reference markings are shown clearly in the photographs. The case is marked Ref. 7016/0.
Dial – Black dial featuring the Tudor Rose logo and date display. Please review all photographs carefully for the exact dial configuration, printing, luminous material, and condition.
Movement – Automatic mechanical movement stamped Cal. 2472. This is not the caliber normally associated with the factory specification of Ref. 7016/0, and therefore the movement should be considered a replacement or previously changed component unless documentation proving otherwise becomes available.
Bezel – Black rotating-style bezel. Please review photographs for its exact condition and configuration.
Strap – Black leather strap featuring Rolex-style / Rolex-marked hardware. The strap is not represented as the original strap supplied with this specific watch, and the originality of the strap or its individual components cannot be independently guaranteed.
Case Back – Rolex markings are present on the case/case back as shown in the photographs. Please review the detailed images for the exact stamps and markings.
DETAILED WATCH CONDITION REPORT
Dial – The black Rose-logo dial presents very well and gives the watch a distinctive vintage appearance. The dial includes a date display. Because the complete restoration and component history is unknown, the originality of the dial, luminous material, printing, and other dial components cannot be independently guaranteed.
Movement – The installed automatic mechanical movement is stamped Cal. 2472 and is currently running. The movement may have undergone servicing, repairs, an overhaul, or replacement during the watch’s lifetime. Its complete history is unknown.
The watch is currently keeping acceptable time; however, due to its age and unknown service history, servicing should be done soon. No guarantee is made regarding future accuracy, power reserve, or mechanical reliability.
Case – The stainless-steel case presents very well overall for its age. It may have undergone previous polishing, refinishing, restoration, or other work during its lifetime. Please review all photographs carefully.
Case Back – Rolex markings and identifying information are visible in the photographs. The presence of markings should not by itself be interpreted as proof that every component currently fitted to the watch left the factory together.
Bezel – The black bezel presents well overall. Its complete originality and prior service history cannot be independently guaranteed.
Crystal – The crystal presents well overall with age-related wear possible upon close inspection.
Strap – The black leather strap complements the watch well. It is not being represented as the original strap supplied with this specific watch.
Overall Condition – Very attractive refurbished vintage condition overall. The watch has clearly been maintained, repaired, restored, and/or had components changed during its long life in an effort to preserve its appearance and continued operation.
REFURBISHED / MIXED-COMPONENT VINTAGE WATCH DISCLOSURE
This watch is approximately several decades old and has passed through previous ownership.
The complete ownership, service, repair, restoration, and component-replacement history is unknown.
This watch may contain a combination of original Tudor/Rolex-era components, replacement components, serviced components, refinished components, restored components, and/or aftermarket parts.
We cannot independently guarantee that every component currently fitted to this watch was originally installed together when the watch left the factory.
Most importantly, the movement is stamped Cal. 2472, whereas Ref. 7016/0 is generally documented with a different factory movement. The watch also features a date display, which differs from the commonly documented no-date 7016/0 configuration.
For these reasons, this watch is being sold as a refurbished/customized vintage Tudor Submariner with mixed-component history rather than as an untouched original collector example.
The price reflects this configuration and unknown service/component history.
WHO THIS WATCH IS FOR
This watch is best suited for someone who appreciates the appearance, history, and character of a vintage Tudor Submariner and understands that older watches may have been repaired, restored, refinished, or fitted with replacement components over many decades.
It is not intended for a buyer seeking a completely untouched, documented, factory-original museum-quality example.
If you are highly particular about the originality of every individual component, please carefully inspect all photographs and ask any questions before purchasing.
MECHANICAL & SERVICE INFORMATION
The watch is currently running and keeping acceptable time.
Due to its age and unknown service history, servicing should be done soon.
Vintage mechanical watches may vary in accuracy, power reserve, winding performance, and operation depending on position, temperature, activity, lubrication, and prior service history.
Current operation does not guarantee future accuracy, reliability, power reserve, or future service requirements.
WATER RESISTANCE
Water resistance has NOT been tested and is NOT guaranteed.
Although the Submariner design was originally developed as a dive watch, this particular vintage watch should be kept away from water unless independently pressure tested and confirmed suitable by a qualified watchmaker.
CONDITION & PHOTOGRAPH INFORMATION
Please carefully review every photograph, including the dial, Rose logo, date display, hands, bezel, crown, case, case back, movement, reference markings, strap, clasp/hardware, and any other photographed components.
The photographs form an important part of the description and show the exact watch being offered.
Any markings visible in the photographs should be evaluated together with the complete listing and should not independently be interpreted as proof of factory originality.
Please purchase only if you are comfortable with the watch’s described refurbished/customized condition and unknown complete component history.
