    Hello,

    Found this online and was wondering if you guys think it would be a good buy for my new collection. Its a tudor Submariner that is being sold because a watchmaker messed up and over polished it (I think). I realize its probably not going to be considered collectable, but at this price I may consider. Going price is 2k. Is this fair? Sorry for the bad pictures. Thanks in advance.

    insert is replacement i think. Markers look okay, should put under UV to check if its relumed. 2000 USD? I think its worth a shot. it should write 7928 between the lugs.

    Lugs still look fat too.

    I was just told that it was relumed. Seller says bezel is all original, but that bezel dot looks suspiciously white to me. I don't really know what to think...

    Yeah that's a luminova pip. Relumed then I guess it's not really worth the time... For me at least.

    It is a bad fake.... don't bother.
    Fake mid case, crown, bezel, insert, dial and movement.

    Wrong movement, off the bat. For 7928, it should be Tudor cal. 390, the brother of the Rolex cal. 1030.
    The dial, I can't tell much from the fuzzy pics, but chances are it's a redial, to put it charitably.
    And I'll just stop here...

    Looks all around pretty odd to me. These 7928's are very commonly franken'd. The parts are not that expensive.....you can toss in a tudor movement and whala....you have a 7928. I think that is one of the reasons that they trade cheaper than they should due to all the well known issues out there. Stick with a popular seller with a return policy of you are to buy. Just my 2 cents.
