Rolex with Tudor on the dial?

Ok--I'm not even shopping for this, it just popped up on the local CL.

Fake. Educate yourself like I did here: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=149378

Counterfeit.

Apparently a handful of these were made in 14K for Distinguished Presidents of Optimist International, whose logo is on the dial.

This watch is mine and it was inscribed for a Distinguished President from 1958-59.

You will see them occasionally on the various antique and auction sites.

This one sold at auction in 2013, but unlike mine, the recipient's name is not on the case-back.

Just to clarify, those are not Swiss-made cases/dials. They are US-made parts from a company that Rolex and several others contracted with during that era to use with their imported movements.
I am sure you can find the US case-maker's ID somewhere on the case and/or the inside of the case-back (probably B&A or D&A).
