Hi fellas, am on to a Tudor 7021 blue snowflake.
Does RSC verify Tudors too?

Yes. They also verify vintage tudors. Regards,P.

A 40++ yr old Tudor even?
I'm sceptical but will do it if necessary as there doesnt seem to be any other authority on it.....

Thanks for the info mate.

It may just be me, but I would not entrust RSC to provide an accurate authentication of vintage, be it rolex or tudor. There are stipulated dimensions they measure for everything (case, crystal, bezel, crown, bracelet, dial and hands) with very tight tolerances, but these will only be done if they have any reason to doubt authenticity. When you give them a vintage rolex/tudor for authentication, expect to have tiny toolmarks around the lugholes and underneath the lugs, where they use sharp calipers to make measurements. Sadly, even then they are still not 100% correct. Refinished dials and relumed hands and aftermarket inserts have passed through RSC Singapore before, and the authenticity receipt gives zero description of any part that may not be original/authentic.

IMO, you are better off with doing research and comparing visually with known examples of the genuine blue snowflake then sending to RSC. Or go with a trusted watchmaker who can open up the case and provide opinion based on servicing hundreds of these watches if it is indeed authentic.

Thanks, my sentiments concur.

Hi Trinidad,

here is a vintage 1971/72 model 7021/0. I just love the roulette date wheel.
