Need some assistance with verifying this Tudor Prince Oysterdate
Hello everyone! New to the forums and I am looking to purchase my first Rolex/Tudor and am seeking assistance with verifying the physical authenticity of a Tudor Prince Oysterdate. Everything physically looks in check with it as far as I can tell aside from there being no writing on the lower half of the dial indicating the "Rotor Selfwinding". Could this be an aftermarket dial?
Also, the cyclops does not magnify as much as a Rolex but I am lead to understand the Tudor Acrylic "crystal" is not the same quality as a Rolex and usually/normally only magnify's at 1.5-2x instead of the 2.5x of a Rolex crystal. Looking for answers from the seller but she seems slow to respond. I requested the model number for the Tudor she is selling as well as requested to know if the dial is the original as well as the crystal. She does not have the original documentation but assures it is genuine and will offer a 3 fold refund if it is found to not be authentic. There are no photographs of the watch with the backing removed so can not verify the internal components but I am attaching 2 photos for reference. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. |

The dial worries me. Rolex and Tudor used the same crystals on many models, so the magnification is a worry too. The engraving on the back is wrong. In a word: RUN!

That's what I was thinking as well. Thanks for your guidance.
I will post pic's of another Rolex I have my eye's on in a few minutes. The seller is willing to meet at a Jewelers to verify the authenticity which makes me feel the warm and fuzzy feeling, although not as glamorous I do have an overall better feeling about it. |

A good seller should make a buyer feel secure by providing quality, detailed pics and open to all legit inquiries.

This is the other watch I am looking into. It is a 1969 Rolex Oysterdate. These are the only two photos I have of it but like I said in the last post, the seller is willing to meet at a Jewelry store to verify the authenticity. Your thoughts are welcome and appreciated!
