Here's some advice if it is fake (which I doubt) smack your GF. If it is real Smack your self , really hard for just thinking it.

Agree. If I were the OP I’d ask the mods to delete this entire thread. We won’t mind. Never happened.

Has anyone heard of these guys?

yes. watchshopping is a legit business, i highly doubt it's fake. those guys have sold a ton of inventory via chrono24

[Rollied]

Since you’re on Reddit, stop by r/reptime, plenty of knowledgeable folks there will do a legit check for you. As most people here, I think you got a keeper! Both GF and watch!

[Ihatecheese]

I hope you didn't let your gf know. It's ridiculously rude. However obsessed.

[osamu]

I thought the GMT movement is hard to fake? I know for Rolex you have a different hand stack and wouldn't have the quickset hour hand. I'm not an expert but i would assume the same would apply to the Tudor GMT movement.

[Explorer2polar]

Its real easy to check if its real or fake.

A real one the date change will stick half ways after about one month of ownership, a fake will have no such problems !



PS Your Girlfriend appears to be a keeper !

[Ranger67]

Hope it’s not from the girlfriend who asked for advice as she got her husband a Rolex!

You have got me thinkin’.

And Mcmike can always contact a Mod if he feels his life is in danger.

I think you guys who are blasting the OP for checking the authenticity are way off and owe him an apology.

There are millions of fakes out there, thousands of bad actors on good web sites, and anyone could easily be taken. If my wife bought me an expensive watch from anywhere other than an AD, I be checking up behind her as well. Not because she doesn't mean well, or didn't check things out, but just because it's so easy to be ripped-off these days.

The Tudor is genuine.

Don’t know about your imaginary watch.

The end result is the same.

For their eye-watering prices the watches better be real...

[Efferalgan]

It’s almost certainly genuine. If tomorrow you find out the date stucks in between or jumped 2 days - it’s 100% real Tudor!

[atxdivebezel]

Watchshopping is 100% legit dealt with them a couple years ago for a speedy. Contact them yell make the box issue right.

If not, you can contact the seller about your options.

Definitely the right approach.

Do we need to put a genuine Tudor in danger Paul?

lol yes, their prices aren't *ahem*..shall we say...the most agreeable out there, that's for sure.

[offrdmania]

Why is everyone who is calling out the site as legit have less than 100 posts? Just curious

I don't think he was implying he was concerned his girlfriend would deliberately give him a fake watch.

I think the concern here is that he is worried she didn't know what she was doing with the purchase?

Does the date work well? If yes, it's a fake. (This last sentence is a joke OP)

It should indeed go beyond the circle. This is what kept me from buying one. This is a feature they picked up from the original Rolex GMT Master watches where the arrow would go just past the chapter ring. It's a heritage design cue that is pretty cool but not something I really like with the Tudor snowflake squares.

What he said, it's not that his girlfriend is trying to swindle him, it's a matter of his girlfriend trying to do something nice and someone taking advantage of her lack of knowledge and experience. I can tell you even though I blabber to my wife day and night about watches and she sees youtube videos with me, she wouldn't know an authentic Sub from a fake, or the difference between a Black Bay and BB58, nor does she know what a trusted seller even is.

The OP is just trying to confirm the watch and simultaneously protect his girlfriend if she was "conned".

Exactly. at these "how dare you" posts.

[Sgooter]

Never pass up a significant opportunity: Loudly declare the Tudor as fake, and add some fake outrage. Then meekly suggest that a nice new Pepsi would help to repair the strained relationship.

You mean if the date skips after 6 months then it’s genuine! Lol!

[alwinnng]

Awesome gf u got there

Bring it into Rolex service center. Just tell them the watch is running a bit slow. Let them check

[Al1969]

OP, why not take it to an RSC and ask them to take a look at it ? I’m sure they’ll clear up any doubts.

[Napoleon]

I doubt there could even be fake Tudor Pepsi’s this soon. Looks legit

[Swaye]

I've owned it. Yours looks like mine. Enjoy your new Tudor. Cool GF.

[HogwldFLTR]

It looks right!!! Congrats!!!
