Good evening everyone,

What does everyone think of this one? I know there are many, many fakes of this particular sub out there so I would like to tread with caution.

I have asked a couple of my friends and completed my own research to offer the below opinions:

- Case has been recut
- Bracelet is later
- Circa 620,000 serial so it is a transitional model with ETA movement (yet to pop open the caseback)
- T SWISS T dial which appears correct - most of the fakes are signed T<25
- Crown is incorrect - should have a Rolex crown instead of a Tudor one
- Bezel has been butchered and repaired

Any opinions are appreciated 馃榾

I think the dial is okay, as well as the bezel insert. The seconds hand I think should be a lollipop hand, the others seem okay. Would like to see the crown guards from the side, as these should have a distinct, somewhat sloped profile.

Mine for comparison (I think unpolished, original crystal):

Newer fake dials have the TswissT on the dial. Can we see a pic of the movement / inner case back? What is the marking between the lugs?

That Tudor is fake. The case profile is wrong, minute markers are not white on the real ones. The hands are also wrong especially the second hand.(look at the center diameter vs a real one). Stay away bro.

Dial:
The dial should have gilt minute markers as well as T Swiss T if it is a transitional. Yours appear to have white. That could be ok if it is a newer dial but I also think the text looks a bit off. T Swiss T seems to have too large space as well. And as said, seconds hand should be lollipop but they are often changed.

Insert:
Insert is def not a fat font long 5 as it should, but I doubt it is genuine at all...

Case:
Crown guards looks to slim..

Hence, run forest run!

Compare to my 7016 transitional (with newer insert)
