Making for a watch with a unique juxtaposition as this type of dial detail would be more expected from brands such as Patek Philippe or Vacheron Constantin, being hand engraved and then enameled and finished with impressive detail, however, it is encased in a robust, waterproof stainless steel case in the classic stylings of Rolex \/ Tudor in this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rolex\/Tudor relationship dates back to 1926, when Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex SA, wanted to create a more affordable wristwatch alternative that still maintained a high quality of craftsmanship. Tudor manufactured wristwatches adjacent to Rolex for many years, which featured more affordable non-in-house Swiss movements, whilst still utilizing Rolex's case designs and manufacturing processes. Even though Tudor shares many similarities with its older brother, Rolex, Tudor's designs tended to differentiate from the Rolex formula to make for some uniquely fantastic timepieces in their own right. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\" width=\"47%\"\u003eStock #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\" width=\"2%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\" width=\"47%\"\u003eTDRO7904\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eTudor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eOyster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e7904\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e13XXXX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMen's \/ Unisex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eCream W\/ Blue Enamel Engraved Floral Motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMillimeters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e34\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eBracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eRolex 7205 Oyster Rivet Bracelet W\/ 57 End Pieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCASE \u0026amp; BRACELET\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strong case retains very thick and symmetrical lugs that exhibit minimal wear, with light evidence of prior polishing.
