Q: Which model is this watch, and when was it made?
A: This is a Swiss-made Tudor Prince Date Mini Sub, reference 73091, dated approximately 1990. The year is an estimate rather than a confirmed exact production date.

Q: Is the Tudor Mini Sub suitable for someone who prefers smaller watches?
A: With a 33 mm case diameter, this watch offers compact proportions. It is worth considering if you prefer a smaller watch; compare the diameter with a watch you already wear to judge your preferred fit.

Q: What wrist size will this bracelet fit?
A: The supplied bracelet fits a wrist measuring 19.5 cm or smaller. For a smaller wrist, a watchmaker can assess the adjustment needed for a comfortable fit.

Q: Is this watch automatic or battery-powered?
A: Reference 73091 uses an automatic mechanical movement rather than a battery. It winds through wrist movement when worn. Please note that this particular watch has a disclosed crown issue when setting the time.

Q: What condition is this particular watch in?
A: It is listed in Good Condition, with scratches and marks on the case and bracelet. The movement is described as running well, although the crown slips slightly while setting the time.

Q: Does the slipping crown need attention?
A: The crown is reported to slip slightly during time-setting. We recommend having this assessed by a qualified watchmaker before relying on regular adjustments. Avoid forcing the crown; the product information does not identify the cause or the repair required.

Q: Has this watch recently been serviced, and how accurate is it?
A: No service date or measured daily accuracy is provided in the product information. The description that it runs well should not be taken as confirmation of a recent overhaul or a specific timekeeping tolerance.

Q: Can I swim or shower while wearing this vintage Mini Sub?
A: Current water resistance is not confirmed in the product information. Do not assume this vintage watch is suitable for swimming or showering. Keep it dry unless a qualified watchmaker has checked the crown and seals, pressure-tested the watch and confirmed its suitability for the intended use.

Q: Does this watch come with a box and papers?
A: The product information lists a damaged box. Papers are not listed, so do not assume they are included.

Q: How should I clean this watch?
A: Gently wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. As its current water resistance is unconfirmed and the crown has a disclosed issue, avoid immersing or rinsing the watch. Ask a watchmaker about more thorough cleaning.
