Q: What size is this Tudor Oyster watch? A: This watch has a 34 mm case. On the wrist, that is considered a classic vintage men’s size with a refined, understated look. It typically wears smaller than many modern sports watches, so it is ideal if you prefer traditional proportions.
Q: Is 34 mm too small for a men’s watch? A: Not at all. A 34 mm case was a very standard men’s size in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Today it appeals to collectors and dress-watch enthusiasts who appreciate authentic vintage proportions and a more elegant fit.
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, many collectors enjoy wearing vintage Tudor Oyster watches regularly thanks to their versatile size and classic design. That said, it should be treated with more care than a modern everyday watch. We recommend avoiding shocks, water, strong magnets, and rough use.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Tudor Oyster watch? A: This watch has a 34 mm case. On the wrist, that is considered a classic vintage men’s size with a refined, understated look. It typically wears smaller than many modern sports watches, so it is ideal if you prefer traditional proportions.
Q: Is this Tudor Oyster likely to be manual-wind or automatic? A: Vintage Tudor Oyster reference 9800 watches are generally associated with a manual-wind movement. That means the watch is usually wound by hand through the crown as part of daily wear. If you would like confirmation on this exact example before purchasing, please contact us.
Q: Can I wear this watch in water? A: We do not recommend exposing a vintage watch like this to water, moisture, or steam. Even though Oyster cases were designed for water resistance, vintage seals and components should not be relied upon in the same way as a modern watch. It is best to avoid swimming, showering, and heavy rain exposure.
Q: Is 34 mm too small for a men’s watch? A: Not at all. A 34 mm case was a very standard men’s size in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Today it appeals to collectors and dress-watch enthusiasts who appreciate authentic vintage proportions and a more elegant fit.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: According to the product information, the watch is in Very Good condition with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, and the internal condition is also noted as Very Good. As expected for a vintage piece from around 1960, minor signs of age and wear are part of its character.
Q: Does this watch come with box, papers, or other extras? A: No. The product information states that this watch comes with no accessories. If an original box, papers, service records, or other extras are important to you, please assume they are not included unless specifically listed in the product information.
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, many collectors enjoy wearing vintage Tudor Oyster watches regularly thanks to their versatile size and classic design. That said, it should be treated with more care than a modern everyday watch. We recommend avoiding shocks, water, strong magnets, and rough use.
Q: How often should a vintage mechanical watch be serviced? A: Service intervals depend on the watch’s history and current performance, but mechanical watches are commonly serviced periodically to keep them running properly. If a vintage watch starts running significantly fast or slow, has low power reserve, or the winding feels unusual, it is wise to have it checked by a qualified watchmaker experienced with older Swiss watches.
Q: How accurate should I expect a vintage Tudor like this to be? A: A vintage mechanical watch can perform very well, but it should not be judged by the same standards as a modern quartz watch. Accuracy can vary depending on age, service history, position, and daily wear. Small deviations are normal for a watch of this era.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Tudor watch? A: At A Retro Tale, every item is carefully vetted for authenticity by in-house experts. For vintage watches, this typically includes assessing details such as the case, dial, signatures, movement type, reference markings, proportions, and overall period consistency.
