Tudor 72033 - Real or Fake?
A question has come up about a vintage Tudor that I acquired recently. My Rolex AD isn't sure if it's authentic or not.
The questionable features are 1) the movement appears to be an ETA with no "Tudor" markings, and 2) the model number appears on both lugs but not a serial number. I thought I'd post some pics in the hope that one of you will be able to tell me whether this watch is authentic or not. Thanks in advance. |

Doesn't look good. The engravings are wrong so that would indicate the rest is the same.

The only thing faker than that is "the Rolex AD who wasn't sure if it's authentic or not".

I hope you didn't pay too much for this, or can get your money back (possible if you paid by credit card, actually, and if it was misrepresented as genuine).

Why on earth would someone trying to fake a watch would use "GENSVA" and " POFY DESN"?
Trying to skirt patent laws, just being funny.... I don't get it. |

Agree, how come a Rolex Authorized Dealer couldn't catch this fake? Another fake Rolex AD. Unless this post is a joke.
