Something you don't see every day. So let's have a look. Tudor Men's Prince Oysterdate ref.7996 c.1966 Swiss 34mm LV606 ETA 2462. I believe it's a Rolex crown too. "Verified authentic by a master watchmaker." A bit less than Rolex Date from the period. Some of these models I notice have red dates, minutes markers and more... This one is a stunner.

That is a beauty! And I'm guess that "Beads of Rice" bracelet is original as well?

That is a beauty! And I'm guess that "Beads of Rice" bracelet is original as well? They say this "On original stainless steel Rolex Jubilee bracelet". Anyway, can't see a number stamped on bracelet or referenced in description. Might be a "55" on each end link that should be there. No photo of inside of clasp to see if it's stamped Rolex.

Let's post a well preserved beauty 7996 from 1963. Even has hour index pips. This "original", seller states,bracelet appears stamped and authentic. fyi both 7966 are on chrono24 if you have interest.

and it looks like Tudor went with the dial shield as the years passed. Tudor Prince Oysterdate - 9050/0 - 1969 34mm, ETA 2784 Note : It appears watch [HASH]2, the '63 Tudor has sold. Safe to say we can all see why.  sold

Another ref 7996, circa 1965 example from Etsy. btw, You may have noticed sellers may use multiple sites to present their watches. This one has the fluted bezel. Is it original to the model? Seller states "Verified authentic by a master watchmaker." The advice is always to buy the seller.
