Rare Tudor Dials???
These recent sales got me wondering...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TUDOR-VINTAG...item43d2e63d6b http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Role...item3cecf92ee6 Are these legitimate dials? ...and then came across this website with some good ones. http://rolexpassionreport.com/6111/t...ototype-dials/ Mostly Rolex, but there's a 79180 silver dial with green sub dials. Who knew? Are there any other good sources for this sort of thing? |

Sub: Dial is aftermarket and hands I am not certain on on just a brief look but my quick suspoicsion is that they match a bad dial too well.
Chrono: I don't know if it is real (I think it is) but it is BEAUTIFUL and my quick suspicion is that it is real as it is the pearly waffle that R&T have had over many years.

First is a terrible fake. Second is legit.

The 2nd is authentic (I've seen on Tudor 79360), but was it ever original to the Tudor Big Block 79160? I tend to think not. The seller listed as "RARE DIAL" but I don't think that dial existed during the 791xx production run. To me it just appears to be a new dial placed in an older watch, not necessarily "rare."

After a quick "Tudor" search, found another member wondering about what appears to be the same watch...
