Vintage Tudor Sub reference 7206

A friend bought this Tudor Sub new in Switzerland many years ago.
Can anyone provide information about this model such as years in production and quantity that were manufactured?
The pictures are from the 5-10 minutes I had the watch in my hands on Saturday.
The watch was enroute to a watchmaker to have a new case back seal installed.

That watch is a fake and should not be discussed here.

Wow...the consensus appears to be that this watch is not the "real deal".
Thanks everyone for your advice.
It certainly was not my intention to post pictures of a "fake" watch in violation of TRF policy. My sincere apologies to all.
On a positive note, this post can be a worthwhile reference to anyone who is presented with one of these "fakes".

No apologies needed, Mark. I didn't know either and it makes for a good education.

Not my loss Steve because I never owned or intended to own this watch.
I took a few pictures when an acquaintance showed it to me.

Ahhhh....one of the infamous U.S. Marine prototype ref: 7206 reps. Heavily modified, but the same nontheless. I think it was Antiquorium that was fooled and sold one of these about 5 years ago.
