BTW: did you buy it from Girard Sensoli? If so, he's known to sell parts watches, mixed with fake parts.

I did. I knew that it was not a Rolex and would have prefered if the dial did not say Rolex, but I did think that I was buying a Tudor. The text that the OP lists is what I read too.

In general, I really enjoy this watch. It is in very nice shape and I like the CA dial. It is in a rotation with 11 other watches so I imagine it will get wrist time 2-4 times per month.

If I come upon the right Tudor dial, I may get it fixed but I am not sure what fixed would look like.

BTW, when you say "fake parts" do you mean that the parts are counterfeit (ETA, Tudor or Rolex)?

Thanks for the input.

Case and movement and dial are all wrong. BUT a cool looking watch. If your not totally worried about it being 100% its definitely a cool daily wearer. But on the the flip side youll get heckled by us wis's. I would get it for the right price. I like that dial a lot.
