What would you value this at

Ryguy008 · Apr 20, 2017

I'm not sure what I'd value this at. It's basically a thrown together sub with an ETA 2783 movement and I'm thinking the case is aftermarket. I'm not sure I'd call it a replica because the guts are authentic but it's about as close to replica as real gets.

Dial, hands, and movement are original, authentic Tudor and ETA parts. Dial is by Beyeler, and hands are professionally refinished to match the creamy patina of the luminous, that unmistakable vintage look. Movement is an ETA 2783 Automatic, freshly serviced and working perfect. Bracelet is a period correct, solid stainless steel oyster style bracelet, fits up to 7.5 inches. Case is a high quality aftermarket replacement, exact fit
and finish to the original. Bezel insert has been professionally finished (faded) to complete the vintage look.

It's a Frankenstein with a fake case with the wrong proportions and no name bracelet... Not worth much...
Bezel looks off to me...
Bezel insert is wrong...
Crown is wrong
wrong crystal missing the date window
end links have horrible fit..
Every seen one of these with Puffy Lume.. so that dials not been touched to be exactly like the hands that have been touched up?
I've got questions about that balance wheel being period correct which opens up a question as to what is going on with that movement.
...and the movement should be a 2784 not a 2783. related but the 2783 is not a high beat...

TLDR" its worth the price of a eta 2783 with a tudor balance wheel on it, and what ever the price of that dial and hands are worth...

$100 for the donor watch with that movement
$100 for the dial on ebay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-Tudo...950787?hash=item4661964d03:g:bdAAAOSwSypY8thf
$20 for the hands http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Tudor-Submar...950562?hash=item3d14cc7c62:g:eK4AAOSwxvxW7LAR
$50 to get them color matched to the dial...
dig up a fake rolex for the case...

You'd need to find Apples-to-Apples historical sales comps to establish a real value...you're not going to find that. The value of this style of timepiece is based, kind of pathetically, on it's individual/constituent parts.

No matter how cheap it is, I would not buy it. $1000 is nearly half way to a lightly used ETA-powered Tudor Black Bay, which has a lot more cachet than that Franken watch.

The case carries the Tudor name, but the seller says it isn't an actual Tudor. Therefore fake.

Ryguy008 · Apr 20, 2017

Yeah I had a feeling it wasn't worth much. It was just an idea for a beater at the price but it is pretty out there. I was thinking about trying to pick it up if the movement was worth something but I'm going to pass for sure. As usual thanks guys!

That's funny I want a black bay

Rep dial, hand sets, case, even the movement is suss with probably after market rotor.

If you want a beater that looks like that get a seiko five sports for $150, and mod it for another ~$75 and you have your wanna be looking sub clone beater.
