Greetings gents,
I never thought I would post here as I'm not into Rolex watches (no offense meant)-- but I've taken to liking some of those old, patina'ed 1950s Explorers and now this "big Rose" Tudor turns up which I really like.
In fact I should not be looking at it after a big purchase, but I can't help wonder: is it overpriced ? Is the patina too much?

Very curious what you think, with thanks as ever,
S

I like how the seller describes the dial as "nicely aged". There is a crescent shaped gouge in the center, which is not so "nice" in my opinion.

I agree with DD12, this is a watch in less than good condition. I bought mine, better condition, for about 25% less, with a nice dial.
I am looking for a new set of hands (known replacements)...🙄
