Well then things just got interesting...
Looking forward to seeing the pics. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

My take? Nice watch. Tudor Oyster(Tudor being a sister company of Rolex). Screwdown crown for water resistance and the threads look ok too. Age? late 40's early 50's? In great condition with it. Military style anyway, going by the dial layout. I say military style, rather than military watch for a couple of reasons. "True" military watches are considered to be examples that were issued by an army, navy, airforce to the troops. These nearly always have stampings on the case back to show this. Yours has a serial number alright, but I don't think it's an issued piece. That's not to say a military guy wouldn't wear such a watch. He most certainly would have, as this would be a very tough watch for the time. A G shock of its day. The strapbars interest me though, could they be solid?
As for the strap. That's what's known as a NATO(orG10) strap. It was and is a military issued strap. They first came out in the early 1970's in the UK. Nowadays you can get them from non military sources in all sorts of funky colours and sizes. The originals were only admiralty grey. So it's a few decades younger than your watch*
That's my take anyway, others more up to speed with Tudors will doubtless add much better info.
*and incorrectly installed. This page will show you how it's done. http://www.natozulu.com/content/9-nato-strap-instructionsRejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

That's a very nice watch. The best way to get an idea of value is to check out sold items on Ebay. Are there any numbers located between the lugs at either 12 or 6 (for example a 4 digit number, possibly beginning with 7) - if there are then this gives you the case reference which should allow you to narrow down your search. Obviously if what you actually need is a valuation then I'm sure somebody else can advise.
Wibbs - I suspect that the watch is fitted with shoulder-less spring bars. This is the only Tudor Oyster I've had and you get at them from the outside - as it were.
