Greetings & a query
Greetings (first post!).
I'm inspecting a Tudor Prince Oysterdate next week on which I've placed a small deposit. Although I'm buying from a jeweller with a high street presence in the UK, the seller has few details about the watch (year of production, serial numbers) and says simply that the watch was obtained at auction. He is providing a statement of authenticity and says the movement has been serviced and validated by a watch-smith. Some advice in validating the piece would be greatly appreciated. The model is a two-tone, mid-size Oyster (32 mm), model number 72033. Firstly, Tudors (like Rolex Oyster Perpetuals) will have serial numbers between the lugs, right? So I should ask the seller to remove the bracelet to inspect these? Secondly, I think the Tudor two-tones have a gold bezel but gold-plate bracelet links (the Rolex Oyster Perpetuals have solid gold links). Is this also correct? I've uploaded three images. Many thanks for your assistance! |

The watch looks nice. The band should be plated, that's what tudors did. If the asking price is great than $800, I would look around.
