Hello,
I am lookin to buy this watch but I am afraid it's a fake or chopped. Can anyone please help me out.

Thanks

dont buy it!!!its a fake.
I bet the serial is something like 737738 or very close to that.unless they started using new ones.let me guess its a 7016-0?we have discussed these multiple times,just search under 7016-0 sub and you will see a bunch of old threads.

Can you tell me what you see on this one?

stevemulholland3 · 4 August 2008, 07:24 AM

several things,the second hand is too small-it has swiss t<25 on the bottom of the dial(tudor never had a rose dial with swiss t<25 on it)the crown guards are not tappered.
this is just what I can recall from memory.where did you see it at?did you find out the serial number?
oh yeah:submariner and rotor and self winding are in the wrong placement and the fonts just dont look right.there is more but I think that will get you started.

I emailed the seller to get me some more pictures. it was advertised in our local trader rag. Let's see if I get something back. I also send another email asking for the serial number.
What really amazes me is how easy it is for people to sell this garbage on Ebay for a lot of money and people don't even think about asking questions.
