Rolex Tudor President

HI All.

On my daily look through E-Bay, I spotted this new listing:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROLEX-tudor-wa...QQcmdZViewItem

I thought that Rolex never put Rolex & Tudor markings on the same dial?

Is that right

There is a fairly significant cottage industry taking real Tudor watches, redialing them with a Rolex crown and dial at the '12' position and marking the lower dial with the Tudor logo, either the current one or the older text logo, and then reselling them as 'kinda', sorta'' Rolex's.

If you spend enough time on Ebay, you'll find lots of these popping up, and for the most part, there are lots of buyers paying high prices for these mixed breed watches.

Basically, they are Tudor-ETA movements in original cases with redialing. Not quite fake, not quite real.

You wouldn't buy one and neither would I, but out there, somebody wants them.

Let it go...
