They tried to pull the same thing as a Rolex too . Can you imagine a military watch with clear case back ... sure . Why not a COMEX with clear case back

We have seen these type of fakes before.... 100% counterfeit. Nothing military or prototype about them.

These are faked way too many times, with both Rolex and Tudor trademarking

Stumbled upon one in [what I thought was a reputable watch dealer] NYC. They were selling it for over $7K!

Without a question 100% that have been on ebay are fake.

Have there ever been authentic prototypes produced?
The fakers had to get the idea from somewhere, right? They're not that original!!

Similar Tudor watches were sold by Antiquorum: New York, May 1998, lot 36; November 2004, lot 41; and Geneva, April 2004, lot 237.
Supposedly there are three known to exsist. The seller copyed word for word from this auction.

I sent a message to the guy and told him the watch was a fake and that it was never produced. His reply was "thanks, I know it's real".

But

Supposed it's a fake, but except for the lines around the date on the Antiquorium the watch is exactly te same.

I've seen it from Rolex a while back at a site, this one even was equipped with a Rolex movement.

I think it'll be a difficult job to get it pulled.

A real example pulls in 13,225 USD

A fake is still sitting at $730 with 4 days
If it's not in the can so, some fool had a couple of bucks to throw away

So, if the winner were to send this to RSC----does Rolex throw it away for you and kindly ask you to stop sending them fakes? I can't imagine they'd return it to you.

$2550 with a day & ten hours to go.
