If you were one of the many who missed this tremendous piece on its first go around, don't hesitate this time - there's no telling when or if it might be back!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore info on these great pieces can be found \u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/tudorcollectorsite.blogspot.co.uk\/p\/submariner-model-7928.html\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e, at Tudor Collector!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tudor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3073402881,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Tudor_Submariner_7928_Gilt_PCG_AS00902_Culture2.jpg?v=1432842049","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/tudor-submariner-gilt-dial-as00902","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
