Recently stumbled upon this Tudor oyster prince on reddit. It’s a reference 7808. The “E” in self winding is fading. I’m sure that devalues the watch a bit. Seller has not posted movement. Not sure if hands are re lumed. It’s up for sale at $700USD. Anything I should know? Thoughts?
Yes those pictures are lousy but it appears the dial might have been aggressively cleaned. To me $700 is no bargain but if you're in love that's different.
The dial is at least partially refinished, I believe? Tudor is known for having the "rotor self winding" text at 6 o'clock in a "smiling" form, not a straight line. I think the hands are relumed as well. Tudor Princes like this are easy to come by, I'd hold out for a better example. It might cost more, but it'll be worth it.
