Upgraded Tudor?

At first sight I thought, well an original, but maybe relumed dieal with awful pair of probably aftermarket snowflake hands. Then I looked at the case and caseback and: no engravings on the outer caseback, but on the case engravings on both sides between the lugs (hardly readible, but it says registered design! Is it a Tudor in an original Rolex case made for Rolex and not for Tudor? Very strange .

...wow...I cannot make out anything except an E

...you have better eyes that I do.

...other than that, the outside of the case back TO ME looks like it has been really beat up and someone tried to polish alot of the damage out of it and thus removing the Rolex wording.

...there are certainly a lot better ones out there.

i have to agree with Stan, probably real with aftermarket parts, i think someone personally engraved the caseback and that has been removed along with the usually manufacturers stampings, I would pass on that one.
