Tudor Sub 9411/0 - Is this authentic???? Any help is appreciated!

I would love some help from the experts out there. I am considering purchasing a Tudor Sub 9411/0. Serial # is 799841, which I believe puts it around 1974. I have attached several photos and would love some opinions on if it is authentic. The bracelet #'s seem odd to me? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Dan Pierce is on vacation in Italy but I'm sure he's checking in daily.

Wow, thanks for the feedback on the band/end links. What is the indicator that they are fake?

Your Welcome.... The endlinks should not have slots in the back they should be flat (see 1st picture). Also, the links on the bracelet do not have the holes on the opposite side of where the screw penetrates into the link. There should be "cut outs" on the opposite end so you can clearly see when the screw is seated properly (see 2nd picture).

Good Luck!!

The watch head looks proper to me. Hands may have been changed or simply faded at a different rate as these Tudors sometimes do.

Agree with the bracelet and end links, a proper 9315 is at least $600-700 and more depending on condition...

The date wheel and/or magnification looks bad......

Be very careful with these watches, they are faked a lot, I would make sure the seller fully checks out and would want to see some pics with the back off the watch....just saying.....

Yes bracelet and endlinks are no good.

Case and caseback are very over polished. I would pass and wait for a nicer
one to come along.

Pass.

Can't open the link to review, sorry. However, I'd go with the recommendations above.
