Cheap Tudors?

Hello,

I've never bought a watch on eBay, but have gone down a rabbit-hole recently of vintage dive watches and found myself searching for vintage Tudor subs. I've stumbled upon a handful of subs in Japan that are selling for 2-3k as opposed to the usual 8k prices I've seen on other listings. Excuse my ignorance, but why are these selling so cheaply (see link)? Is it because it is listed as 'custom' that it then means there are non-genuine parts included? Are these fakes? Thanks! C

Here's a link (shortened ebay link): http://surl.li/azyne

So much wrong with those. The bezel is fake and probably the rest, so that may explain the price.

There’s nothing genuine on those watches. All complete fakes.

The days of finding hidden gem tudor subs on ebay for me died around 2017. Today there are so many more eyes on the hobby between the scammers and gentleman dealers not sure why I keep checking it.

79090 and 76100 is the cheapest Sub you will find, usually around $7-8k
