Tudor Sub on ebay...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/25536681755...C&LH_Auction=1

Anyone looking at this one? It does not look right to me, but the bezel if a real mil sub has to be worth a pretty penny.

There’s nothing on that watch that’s genuine.

Glad it was reported, everything looked wrong and the same bum seller sold a fake black dial snow flake.

So many fake Tudor subs on eBay. Loads coming out of Japan right now.

The red rangers used to be a real watch but with a brand new dial and hands. I have an old 7966 from 1961 with a red ranger dial as a novelty that I bought in 2009 but the case, caseback, 7205 bracelet and movement are absolutely real.

I guess now the old watches have dried up so the fakers have resorted to fake mid cases and movements as well.

I have never seen a legit, documented, Red Ranger. I have seen one person on VRF, a while ago, swear up and down there was one legit. Every real Tudor with a Red Ranger dial, the dial is aftermarket.

I know the dial is fake, I bought it as a novelty.
What im sayin is that back in the day, the guys who used to produce the red rangers to sell on eBay would use legit real Tudors as donor watches to put the fake dials on. The days of $500 Tudors to use as a donor has all but dried up, so the fakers have now moved on to using completely fake mid cases and movements.

Ugh, I’m constantly reporting those pieces of garbage. Most people of the time they are removed
