The Tudor reference 76100 was a traditional sub with a new lollipop hand…
 

Vintage Tudor Subs may just be the single hottest sports watch on the market, with collectors scrambling to get their hands on original, unmolested examples. With increased popularity has come a rash of refurbished, modified, Frankensteined and outright fake examples, making it difficult for enthusiasts to find the genuine article.

Of particular desirability are the models with unique hands and dials, such as the reference 76100 offered here. Contemporary to the Rolex 5513, the reference 76100 Tudor Submariner was a limited production transitional model that features so called “Lollipop” hands set against a dial with triangular hour markers at 6, 9, and 12, which make them considerably less common than the standard “Mercedes Hand” versions.  

The 76100 is interesting indeed. It is one of the “low production” transitional Watches that Tudor excelled in. The 76100 only existed with a date and was a stepping stone between the 94110 and the 79090 submariner dates. What is interesting is that it seems that it was produced alongside the 94110. Visually, it is identical to the later 79090 (with triangle marker Matt tritium dial), however it had a different hour hand known as the lollipop hand. It was as if Tudor didn’t want to go back to the Mercedes pattern hand. The issue was that the lollipop had had a large surface area of tritium that was prone to cracking and breaking.
 
Earliest 76100 serial seen is in the 64,000 range – which is literally a few hundred numbers away from the last 94010. Interestingly enough the Rolex R20 manual from 1984 does not feature the 76100. This leads me to believe it was introduced in 1984.
