i do believe this is a real bracelet, but i've heard and read about counterfeit bracelets, and wanted to know what were some telltale signs for tudor bracelets. Thanks!

Looks great - a nice Tudor Sub bracelet at a great price.
Personally I wouldn't have any worries on this particular bracelet - it looks 100% legit to me.
Well done mate.

Well done mate.

I agree with Neil. Look like the real deal to me. All the numbers are right. Congrats

Thanks, bought it with the microsoft live rebate, getting 30% of the buy it now price back in 2 months! So the bracelet actually comes out to $416.50
Thank for letting me know.

Does anyone have any telltale sign tips to give me? I am looking for a oyster for my Hydronaut 89190, and i'm still a bit worried about fakes.

Well take a close look at the stamped Tudor markings on the folding clasp as the fakers have been known to spell 'GENEVA' as 'GENEVR' which may sounds ridiculous but is harder to spot than you might think. Other than that, just the usual - correct Tudor ref. numbers for band and flush fits, overall quality (in feel and function) etc, etc.

Must say I have never seen a Hydronaut 89190 on an Oyster Bracelet and don't even know if there will be correct flush fits to suit the case? I've only ever known them to have the 93450 or 93550 Tudor Hydronaut bracelet.
Please keep us informed on this as I'd be really interested to know how you get on mate? - Neil

PS - it can be hard to tell a fake from just a photo though, esp if the photos are taken with a deliberate effort to hide that very fact.

Thanks for the info, i've seen one 89190 on ebay with a oyster, didn't look like a aftermarket oyter, i've tried a 93250 bracelet on the hydronaut, and the fit seem to be good?
