Tudor 7020 check (sorry for photos, they are all I have at present)

Anyone see anything "off" on this?
Should be able to view tomorrow (& get better photos) so all I have are these two photos right now.
Thanks in advance fellow WIS.

Lugs look polished, should be brushed. Dial, bezel, and handset look correct. bracelet looks aftermarket.

I own the same watch....comparing both, this is looks heavily polished (rounded lugs) and incorrect bracelet. Bracelet should be folded oyster with 382 el. Other el from gmt will fit as well.

Well I impulsively bit on it. Not happy about the polishing, but hope I'm not too bad off on the deal (in to for $1000).
Dial has some spotting but not too bad in my opinion.Other than that, think it's a cool watch!
Bracelet was junk as noted.

1000? The dial is worth close to that. :)

H A P P Y DANCE in progress here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I thought I was doing OK, but always like the 'hive mind' to help see something I can miss in my excitement, in this case the polishing (I had a feeling the bracelet was junk; if it had been right, it would have been 'lagniappe' as we call it here in South LA) and the dial isn't perfect, but the watch is really cool!

I am now quite excited about it, as I have it on the wrist now. My original intention was to most likely resell as I told myself awhile ago 'no more watches (unless the deal is too good to pass up and you can sell it for a profit...)' but I may sell another from my collection; I have a 1960 Air King Super Precision (with original band and clasp) that has just been sitting for years now. Unlike some collectors, I love functions, so a day/date versus a time only watch talks to me.

Thanks to all who helped me out, this lil Tudor is now kinda singing to me :)

You might want to source some folded oyster or jubilee.....I’ve seen it one sales section time to time from $600-$1200. It will elevate the look.

The bracelet will have to come later, though I think a properly sourced and period bracelet would look fantastic!

Serial was tough to make out from that aftermarket bracelet scratching against it over all the years, but it's an 88x,xxx that I have pegged 1978ish.

I am just happy to score it. Someone once asked me what my favorite watch in the world was. It took me a second to answer as I enjoyed the question and found it thoughtful. I responded, "The one I got the best deal on". With that I am not a volume buyer, but man, I do love 'the hunt' :)

The 7020 is a wicked one. ESP for $1k! I thought those deals were gone. I owned a 7020 and a few Tudor subs at the same time. I found the 7020 was heavier and very substantial than the sub. Mine had a bad movement, the schild, and it was a pain to repair. So I sold it a few years ago. Keep the 7020. The AK is not my style

That's the situation I'm in. Spent years trying to get mine working again. If you own a working 7020 count your lucky stars. Mine is now an expensive paperweight.

I appreciate all the comments and after 24 hours she is running like a Tudor/Rolex watch should, just about perfect!

Down the line the plan is to get a bracelet like Mr. Carver's, I think a 'silky old', jubilee would perfect for my new to me 7020 down the line.
