Help on Tudor 7016 needed, much appreciated

[iamsilvermember]

I come across two self-claimed 7016 in a local auction site. Both claim to be working properly without any paper evidence (service by rolex or original buying receipt). I am quite new to the vintage idea so would like to have any comments on the below. Are they fake or if not, are the flaws worth tolerating? Thank you so much!

The first one is a black dial one with serial number starting 93.

So fake. It’s worth $10

This post isn’t helpful in the slightest. Now I know why my Math teachers would get annoyed when I didn’t show my work.

Would you mind elaborating?

Your math teachers were right

I can dissect it but I won’t. I fear our critiques merely lead to better fakes. My art teacher taught me that.

Fair enough … Just curious for my own knowledge as to what stands out.

Harry’s right though. 100% fake.

Search up the infamous Tudor submariner with the ‘montres’ rotor. There are some threads on it already.

The watch looks brand new. Like showroom floor crisp. It’s sad but these are on eBay all the time. Sadly I no longer even consider buying anything from Hong Kong because of the quantity of fakes coming from there. eBay is disappointing in this sense

The insert is obvious, no secret there.
Also look at the dial printing on a 7016 for sale from a reputable dealer. It won't look like this one.

Thanks a lot for the input. Would like to know more but for now it is good enough. Just as I said there are two of them:

[harry in montreal]

Which auction site is it?

[alwayshere]

Both fake. Looks like same fake case but they have slapped on a blue dial and bezel. A blue shade that is notably off.

Compare the two with genuine and you can spot the difference. Please do some of your own homework.

both are definitely fake.

I was trying to be polite in my reply but thanks for cutting to the chase

All No Good - hard pass. Not even good fakes.

Thanks all. I apologize if this has caused any inconvenience - have been an observer for long and my first time posting because I don't have the opportunity to come across a lot of watches. And in case it helps - it is a Asia based site called Carousell. I have reported the seller and hopefully have done some good deed after being helped by members here.

Thank you for posting this. Our frustration is not at you. We don’t think we would be fooled by these fakes, but I’m thinking about the unassuming novice that pays a few hundred or maybe thousand for the watch. Please post again if you consider another watch. Look for ones that have wear and use, avoid those that are pristine

Much appreciated. If (only) I may, I have encountered another seller who is offering me this 79190. He took it to the Tudor service center for an overhaul and case polish in 2019 and is able to provide paper receipt with a matching serial number. I noted that the lume looks a bit inconsistent. What do you guys think of this? Thank you so much.

What is the serial? Only the very early 79190 will have the Prince Oysterdate matte dial ...

Very very nice watch

[harry in montreal]

The crownguards are polished down so it should not be priced at the high end of the spectrum. The first photo makes them look thin
