Vintage Tudor 7016/0 Small Rose Verification..
I dont get stumped very often on fakes, but I am not a Tudor expert. Please take a look at these photos and tell me what you think. These are all the pics I have from a pawn shop in Louisiana. The insert is clearly fake, but other than that I am torn. 737XXX serials do exist, but are also the main serials used on fakes. The crown guards on this watch are not pointed, but only the early 7016's had them pointy, the later versions were rounded, like this one. I havent purchased it yet, but if its real I will.. Thanks to all that respond..

I made some more observations and have determined the entire watch is fake. The dial fonts are off and there is no hyphen between self and winding (self-winding). Wasnt happy with the engravings and the way they are scratched to make it appear vintage. Insert fake, dial fake.. case engravings aren't correct fonts..even the movement I think is incorrect. Now this thread can remain active to show what a good fake looks like :)

Indeed it's a shocker of a fake.
My favourite, of a hundred 'tells' is the round topped 3 of serial number

Gee they strategically placed the hours hand over the little rose.
