Ebay Tudor With Rolex Parts
The watch doesn't bother me as much as the clasp on the bracelet. Where the locking clasp is, it appears to have been airbrushed to conceal the long thumb indention under the clasp...maybe I'm just paranoid...any opinions...

...stay AWAY "ibsober"...good to see you back here...
...NOTICE the absence of any ref# on the first links.
...NOTICE the strangely shaped end piece (skin side). ...in all my years of piddling with bands, I have NOT seen an end piece like the ones pictured. ...MOST LIKELY, this is a heavily modified FAKE band to fit the case!! ...the Tudor Chrony's predominantly use the 589/605 ends-VERY RARE and hard to find!! (But, even they are numbered in the standard method.) ...your observation and concern are CORRECTLY NOTED. |

Case back is new style, does not say "Case by Rolex"...I think someone has put the a semi Frankentudor together with the hope of passing it off as some strange highbred. So if it stinks its probably rotten....

I'm fairly certain these watches never came with the diver extension band. But, I concur with the observations about the band, i.e. missing end link numbers and the thumbnail recess has been altered.

No old friend...
Just to many nights lusting for the feel of your Comex on my wrist...it turned me bitter and forced me to wander the West and climb great mountains in search of the truth...all I got was constipated.

Stay away from the cactus berries out west. They'll plug you up every time!
