Vintage Tudor Submariner Lollipop

The 94010 Lollipop Tudor Submariner is known by this name due to an hour hand that lacks the traditional Rolex “Mercedes” hand.  The movement is a 25-jewel, hacking ETA 2776 modified by Tudor.  

This piece dates to roughly 1984 and features a round and triangular combination of hour markers.  This watch also features a Rolex trip-lock crown https://www.captainthewatch.is.

It was in the window of a vintage watch and jewelry shop.  Needless to say, the combination of a vibrant blue dial and the gray/blue “ghost” bezel were enough to make me enter the store.  It seemed like a fitting, but expensive, souvenir to help me remember the blue skies and water of the city.
