Thoughts on the Tudor Day Date. Possible scam
I've purchased the following watch but unfortunately believe its a rep as the serial is 7 digits instead of 6. I would appreciate confirmation before I approach the seller. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-T...rdt=true&rt=nc

3 possible scenarios. 1. The watch is a repro/fake. 2. There are still quite a few of the older models that are still produced today for the Asian markets. 3. It is a replacement case due to damage.
I am leaning towards the first but im not entirely sure. Im sure someone will pipe up who can give a better answer.

The Ebay link no longer works because the auction has ended. Post a pic of the watch.

Dial looks off, spacing between date.day looks off the majority of lume pips missing on top of minute markers, case back engraving looks suspect and movement looks untidy as well as screw/tube /crown...not pretty in my opinion.

The watch appears to be a counterfeit. The stampings between the lugs look new, the crown is not correct and how about those fake end links.

But yes, the engraving look too perfect. That number 2 is funky
