Help authenticating this Tudor watch

I need help with a Tudor Prince Oysterdate. It has only these 3 photos on it and I bought it already. Now I need help - is it authentic, is it a good or bad buy. I paid $400 buy it now for it on eBay. Anything anybody wants to say on your observation, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. I have not received the watch yet. Any advice on what I need to do when I get it? The description on it says that the second hand sometimes get caught in the minute hand but that is all.

It was a "Buy it now" and I got excited and dove into it, sorry for my bad decision. The fact that you replied to me means you have something to say and I appreciate it. Please let me know what you think. If you still want to stay out of it, I respect that. Thanks.

I know nothing at all about this watch but it seems a strange target for the fakers to me.

Thanks for the replies. One of the things I need to check when I get the watch is to check the markings between the lugs both at 12 and 6 o clock position. One of my worries just by looking at those photos I posted is that the luminous markings on the hour markers are not well defined, it may be corroded and if that is the case, the movement may be compromised as well. I know I am jumping the gun, and it may just be bad photos as well.
But thanks again for the replies. this is my first post and I got some replies. Keep them coming and thanks.
