Tudor Day-Date
Experts to chime in on this one. It looks bad to me.

CaseBack says "Original Oyster Case By Rolex Geneva" Fungus!

All older Tudors used Rolex parts including the caseback so no issue there. Two issues I see are that the pics show different bezels. One pic has a fluted YG bezel, the other is the diamond bezel. Also, the date magnification looks off.

i think, the case and movement is original, but the dial and the bezel are aftermarket.

Why do you say that? It is normal for Tudor to use the Rolex caseback.

If you look closely at the "Prince Date Day" wording in all phots it shows some wearing off of the word "Day". That seems consistent from photo to photo even though the bezel is different. The unexplained diamond bezel in some shots vs. the flued bezel in 1 shot is a little concerning unless he is giving both bezels with the auction and showing both. Since he can't spell or speak english its hard to tell what he's trying to do.
