Is this a correct movement for Tudor Oysterdate 79260?

I'm not an expert, but something doesn't look right there!
Firstly your are correct the rotor should be engraved. Secondly there isn't any decoration on the movement. I'll see if I can find another image. |

Thanks guys! D111s, you are right about the decoration as well.
Should have been top grade 7750, and this above in my pictures looks like Standard grade (apart from the strange rotor). Last edited by padi56; 2 October 2015 at 02:37 AM.. |

No, thanks to the info here , I restrained myself from buying it.
Offer price was around 2000€, which is around 2300-2400$. :/ |

Going over this old post again!
I got a glimpse of the finishing on the older big block movements which seem exactly like this... so might have actually been an older 7750 transplanted from a previous big block model |

while it may be possible that this can be a watch with a new heart, of unknown origin, it seems highly unlikely, that the watch as such is a fake watch.
The Oysterdial is within this ref number somewhat rare, the crystal for this watch would have to be a genuine tudor crystal, as otherwise the cyclops would not be centered correctly for the 7750 date position. had this been a franken watch, the first premiss would be that there would exist a fake version of this rare and somewhat unhyped watchmodel. This would have to be the base for making a franken. I highly doubt that such a watch exists. As this watch has the transitional Oysterdate dial, it is more likely that the transitional version might have been made with a different movement than the later tiger models. |
