Rare Tudor Variant w/Olongapo Bracelet
(Notice the Litmus circular indicator above the 6 'o'clock)
I really find this piece interesting. It is very reminiscent of the Tornek Rayville modified Blancpains. The litmus indicator above the 6 let's the owner know if the watch has been compromised with moisture. The indicator will change colors with the presence of moisture. Recently on TRF a gentleman posted a similar piece that originally belonged to his father. A navy seal circa early 60's. It is my belief and others the litmus dot was an addition/mod not a trait delivered by Rolex/Tudor.
