Spotted a Sub that looks iffy to me, and got me wondering. The case (to my vague knowledge) and bracelet looks okay, but I don't think I ever seen snowflake hands/dial with 'swiss made'? And the dial/hands look rather 'new' for a snowflake. Does this look a knock off, or a later cross over snowflake? Also, it might be me, but the pip looks slightly off to the left! Interested to know now!

Unfortunately I can't get access to the serial/movement. Any help appreciated :)

Have you a link to the listing/ad??

Hi - It's at an auction, not much info available which is annoying. Unfortunately I can't inspect it in the metal to check it, leaning towards leaving this one as the dial/hands just look wrong in terms of condition and 'Swiss made'.

It could be ok. I don't like the printing at the bottom of the dial. It should say T SWISS T and doesn't. It says Swiss made. The dial is crooked but the band looks good. You need to get the band off and get the parts in your hands to know. H

(1) When you say the dial is crooked exactly what do you mean? (I am a newby here and it looks ok to me so I would appreciate an explanation.)
(2) Here is a url of a Tudor that has caught my eye. It has not sold. This is the second listing on eBay. Any opinions about it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/120822420392...#ht_650wt_1398

Thanks for the replies. A guy on another forum thought it was a service dial which could make sense. I didn't go for it in the end, too much of a gamble for me.
