Tudor oyster prince authentication

Does this Tudor oyster prince look OK.

The crown seems non original?

Could this be a fake?

Terrible photos. I thin it is OK but want clear dial photos to tell if refinished. Engraving photos of serial and ref.

Crown looks a little Funky

I don't get the sense that it's a fake although the crown may not be correct. FWIW, the watch looks pretty rough.

The watch looks real, bar the crown as you've said. Biohazard amounts of dead skin and dirt build up on it though.

Could be the plexi, but the R in TUDOR and the N & G kissing in WINDING look a bit unusual to my old eyes !

Almost as if they are in bold? Could have been touched up perhaps?

Bit more digging and I'm inclined to think dial might be untouched - it has the same painting style as the also unusual footer of '- swiss -' that the 1/5 th second Jumbo like one here has....with an oversized and closer to next letter of the S and G of SELF WINDING

Btw (little fun fact on Tudor Jumbo's.... some are SELF - WINDING and some are SELF WINDING btw).
