Does the serial number 93#### seem a bit high for a rose dial? Quick google shows its ~1980 but I'm far from a tudor expert

Sorry for bumpin an old thread, but I guess It's better than starting a new one! Saw this at a swedish online auction. I think it looks a bit off as well... Seller states the dial as a relume (which is obvious). What do you think? A fake 7016/0?

I don't see any marks from the endlinks on the underside of the lugs. This is a warning sign, because of the two propositions:
- pristine or service case, never worn with bracelet (possible but uncommon for vintage subs)
- fake case
which is the more probable? To be sure I would like a much closer look on the case and some provenance.

Infamous T<25 dial, wrong crown, aftermarket bezel insert, suspicious case

This may have originated in Vietnam en route to Sweden 😉

I just knew something was wrong when looking at it...! Thanks guys. Did not even know about Vietnam-made tudors before finding this thread 😀

I just had to lol at the genius who scraped the lume on the minute hand for the feaux aging effect. Never seen Tritium degrade from the inside out like that...or maybe I'm too critical.
Vietnamese vintage cases have gotten scary good. What a dumb error on the SWISS logo. JFC.

And if a hand would lose lume, it’d be the hour hand.

Rare to see every posted watch in a thread, other than those posted for compare, as complete fakes.
